ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A group of nonprofits are coming together to help families experiencing homelessness in St. Petersburg.
Metropolitan Ministries and the YMCA of St. Petersburg will open a family shelter this summer.
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.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
