Make the Professional Sports Stadiums in Florida, that have accepted money to operate as homeless shelters, to either operate as shelters or give the money back, and have it re-directed to assist the homeless population in Florida.

Here is the Florida state statute:

Florida Statute 288.1166 - Professional sports facility; designation as shelter site for the homeless; establishment of local programs Any professional sports facility constructed with financial assistance from the State of Florida shall be designated as a shelter site for the homeless in accordance with the criteria of locally existing homeless shelter programs, except when the facility is otherwise contractually obligated for a specific event or activity. Should a local program not be in existence in the facility’s area, such program shall be established in accordance with normally accepted criteria as defined by the county or its designee.

 

Help support a good cause by signing the petition!  There are thousands of homeless people living on the streets in Miami-Dade County and all over Florida.  Some of the stadiums have been given money; it's only right that they comply with the law.
