The Central Florida Commission on Homelessness is leading a historic campaign to raise awareness of citizens and propel local leaders to seriously tackle the growing problem of homelessness.
Entitled “Rethink Homelessness” the campaign was started 8 months ago and a new video created, which asks the homeless to write down a fact about themselves that other people wouldn’t know just by walking past them.
Watch the video above to see what the homeless in Orlando had to say.
It is estimated that there are nearly 48,000 homeless persons in Florida, about 8 percent of the total U.S. homeless population.
