Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1009 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY October 14, 2025: ‘NO SHELTER HERE: Florida’s New Homeless Law’ Photography by ZUMA Partner newspaper The Tampa Bay Times Pulitzer Prize winning photo-journalist Douglas R. Clifford: Thousands of Central Florida residents grapple with a heart-aching question at the end of each and every day: ‘Where am I going to sleep tonight?’ Florida has an estimated 31,462 people experiencing homeless-ness, with a shortage of affordable housing being a primary cause. A recent controversial state law, bans sleeping on public property and requires cities and counties to provide temporary shelters or risk fines. This law is a shift from focusing on long-term solutions like the ‘housing first’ model, with concerns that it may lead to the criminalization of homelessness. The new law is scaring unhoused people, who are afraid of being arrested for sleeping outside and, therefore, less likely to engage with service providers. Solutions to homelessness abound and include providing housing and treatment, not laws designed to mask the problem from public view. Welcome to ‘NO SHELTER HERE: Florida’s New Homeless Law’
