ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A group of nonprofits are coming together to help families experiencing homelessness in St. Petersburg.

The YMCA will offer childcare and education programs to kids in this new shelter.
In addition, Metropolitan Ministries will provide workforce development, transitional housing, and wraparound services so that families can become self-sufficient.
