Description
Saturday, June 18, when setting up for Juneteenth, we noticed a shopping cart on the north side of 833 22nd Street South. We've had PATH here and unhoused left and then came back. We've not seen individuals, we just noticed an increase in personal property.

This report has been forwarded to the Office of Veteran, Social & Homeless Services. Please immediately report any criminal activity or safety concerns to the SPPD directly by calling 727-893-7780 if not an emergency or 911 if an emergency. Thank you.
We work closely with various City departments and local social service providers to address issues faced by our homeless population, and we also work with neighborhood associations to address the concerns they have, as well. Our Police Department has a Street Outreach Team that actively canvasses areas where the activities of the homeless are noticed, and they will continue doing so to ensure the safety of all citizens.

Thank you for reporting this. I have asked our homeless street outreach team to go by this location again to offer their assistance to anyone they find in need of help. If willing to accept help, our outreach team will get them connected to shelter, housing, meals, medical care, substance abuse treatment and other services they may be in need of. I also referred this to our Police Department and asked them to monitor this location at all hours of the day, including evening and early morning hours. Should they encounter anyone, they will also offer their help, including free transportation to shelter. I would also encourage you to continue to communicate with the Community Services Officer for the area when you notice things of this nature. Thank you again for reporting this to us.
