Thank you for reporting this issue to us via SeeClickFix St. Pete. This report has been forwarded to the Office of Veteran, Social & Homeless Services. While Homelessness is not illegal, the City addresses homelessness and related social issues City-wide by utilizing a two-tiered philosophy of service: Referral followed by enforcement.
Our Police Department has a Street Outreach Team (PATH) 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. Police Assisting the Homeless (PATH) non-emergency Homeless Hotline voicemail can be reached at 727-551-3783.
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. Information may be found on this page of the StPete.org website:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. On 3/13/24, our Police Assisting The Homeless (PATH) team went out to this area. PATH did locate what appears to be an encampment, however no one was present at this time. It should be noted that this area in particular is actually outside of the City of St. Petersburg jurisdiction. The area would belong to the Pinellas County Sheriff's jurisdiction and/or Department of Transportation property.
