About the Wiki:[]

The 'Tampa Bay Homeless Resource Wiki is a a collaborative website where advocates, service providers, people in need and people helping those in need can share and find information on services, resources, news and volunteer opportunities to end homelessness in Tampa Bay.

This wiki was started by the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County to provide a central point of collaboration and a channel to disseminate all types of information and tools to use in helping homeless citizens and meeting the ultimate goal of Places for People - The 10-year Plan to End Homelessness. Anyone can contribute to the wiki - it is a volunteer-driven resource that can be edited by any user. If you want to help, we invite you to view our training videos, learn some basic wiki-editing skills and jump in!
