Foster care and homelessness: The reality of Lawell “Elf” Brooks
Lawell "Elf" Brooks aged out of foster care in Alabama and moved down to St. Pete Beach to live with her mother. Due to stresses at her mother's house, though, Elf had to go out on the streets of St. Petersburg. Without familial supports, many former foster youth find it difficult to establish themselves and live independently after leaving state care. Consequently, many of them end up homeless.

Violence is pandemic in the homeless community
In 2007, Florida ranked number one in the country in lethal and non-lethal attacks against homeless people. Violence is something that touches everyone: man, woman, black, white, young, old. The experience of violence is different for each person. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve asked the same question of about fifty different people from Clearwater to South St. Petersburg: What kind of violence do you see most in the homeless community?

Demystifying the system: the St. Petersburg outreach team
For many of our neighbors living on the street, the way up seems like an impossible climb. Government systems are labyrinthine challenges. Every step in the right direction is preceded by a never-ending wait, and endless stacks of paperwork separate them from even the smallest success. Many of them succumb to failure, choosing to sleep on the sidewalk rather than subject themselves to miles of red tape and confusion. St. Petersburg's outreach team helps demystify the system.

Homeless in St. Petersburg, Part 2: Health care
Linda Mariano is 57 years old and 95 percent deaf. She can see without glasses, she says, but she can’t read without them. Pyorrhea has rotted away most of her teeth. She has a hole in her skull the size of a silver dollar, where she was hit in the head with a brick at the age of 17 (“or 18”). She's been homeless with her boyfriend for the last seven years. They're both disabled, but were turned down for Medicaid three times. They went to the Health Department to see a doctor, and were told that they couldn’t get a primary care physician because they didn’t have an address. I talked to Linda for over an hour the other night, sitting on the sidewalk outside the Open Air Post Office in St. Petersburg, where she and Bobby sleep.

No restrooms for the weary: St. Petersburg and its homeless are at odds about after-hours access to public toilets
After-hours access to restrooms has been an ongoing problem for St. Petersburg’s homeless, who are shunned from using private facilities in, say, Starbucks, and are left high and dry late at night, when park restrooms close. After that, there is nowhere to go but in public, and that’s illegal.
