What will happen to Central Florida’s homeless during Hurricane Milton? Local nonprofits are on it.
Oct 09, 2024
As Central Florida prepares for the Category 4 storm Hurricane Milton to make landfall later Wednesday on Florida’s Gulf Coast, a number of local nonprofits and social advocacy groups have partnered to get out the word to people without shelter who are living on the streets, sidewalks or in the woods. Local nonprofits, through coordination by the Homeless Services Network, launched street outreach teams with government officials to provide homeless people with information about the storm, available shelters and free transportation options ahead of the storm.
