PENSACOLA, Fla. -- The homeless numbers underneath the I-110 bridge in Pensacola are growing.

Thanks to an influx of federal funding and volunteers, some of the homeless are finally getting housing. But much more needs to be done.

Some may say no local homeless advocate has done more for the needy than Melissa Johnson from the homeless outreach group called Fearless Community.

Johnson has been to I-110 every day since tents began popping up last February.

It's been a few months since Channel 3 last visited the homeless camp underneath the I-110 overpass.

Friday, Channel 3 saw a larger number of tents and people who call the place home. And more belongings in shopping carts and stacked in front of tents.

Johnson says the number of people under the bridge has almost doubled. The homeless are realizing that it is the best place to get help and resources.

In the last 30 days, thanks to federal money and Fearless Community and Opening Doors, close to 50 homeless individuals have found a way out.

Johnson brings food. But she does much more, she gets the needy resources.

Johnson also gave a homeless man a tent and documented every single homeless person with ID cards.

Kelly Tucker was one of those people. She's trying to get a job.

Next week Pensacola City Council will consider extending the eviction moratorium for another 90 days.

"We have to consider what we're doing because we have no place to send them to right now," Johnson said.

The faces are different but the stories are the same under the overpass. Behind the words there are cries for help.

The city is expected to allocate another $3 million to help the homeless in the next few weeks, after hearing recommendations from a newly formed homeless task force.
