On this episode of The Current by TreasureCoast.com, we sit down with Gail Harvey, president of Tent City Helpers, a grassroots nonprofit serving Martin County’s unhoused population for over a decade. Gail shares her perspective on the rising homelessness crisis in the community and what’s being done about it.

She walks us through Tent City Helpers’ Monday outreach route, where they provide hot meals, groceries, camping supplies, and dignity to those often overlooked. Gail discusses systemic challenges, from the lack of emergency shelter in Martin County to the criminalization of poverty.
