Update from the Codes Compliance Department: No ordinance would prevent someone from sleeping on the grounds of private property with the owner’s permission. The City of St. Petersburg strives to meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness while balancing the rights of all residents to have a safe, clean community to enjoy.
Street Outreach Team
The St. Petersburg Police Department's Outreach Team, created in 2006, works to serve people experiencing homelessness who need assistance finding temporary or permanent housing or getting connected with other programs. The Team consists of officers from the St. Petersburg Police Department and an outreach Social Worker. They work together to conduct regular outreach in the entire city. Please call 727-551-3783 (This staff is continually in the field, please leave a message).
Review the current ordinances regarding homelessness and panhandling. If residents meet individuals on the street who are in need of help or services, they should refer them to the Tampa Bay Cares 2-1-1 call line.
