A Safe Place to Sleep Tonight — and a Path Forward Tomorrow
407 Connect is a mobile overnight shelter in Orlando with 42 sleeping pods across two retrofitted buses. Each pod has clean linens, device charging, and privacy. You are safe here. During the day, our team helps you find housing, connect to benefits, and take the next step toward a stable life.
What 407 Connect Looks Like
407 Connect is not just a place to rest. It is a full program. Safer nights and real support during the day — that is what makes 407 Connect different from a traditional overnight shelter.
Each bus has sleeping pods built for privacy and security. When you come to 407 Connect, here is what you get:
- A private sleeping pod with clean linens
- A safe, secure place for your belongings overnight
- Device charging at your pod
- A quiet, respectful environment
- Access to restrooms and hygiene support
The buses are clean and well-maintained. You do not have to sleep on the floor or in a chair. Each pod gives you real rest — the kind that makes it possible to work on what comes next.
