The Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County, Florida, created an ad campaign that aims to raise awareness about the causes and consequences of homelessness in its local community. Each ad features a person who is or has been homeless, with the tagline “Not who you expected?” Hillsborough County has nearly ten thousand homeless people, which is 20 percent of Florida’s homeless population. Among that population are Shameya and Jeff, featured in the following ads. You can read more about their stories at the HCHC site.
