Orlando's ever-growing homeless population is in stark contrast to the overwhelming profits made in tourism by giants like Disney and Universal Studios. Many of these vagabonds have taken root in the vacant woods along busy highways in the suburbs. Most often, a dog-eat-dog effect happens in these forest settlements; yet once in a while, something remarkable happens.

The Macon Delta is the name given to a woodland community of homeless that cleaned up a former drug-infested patch of woods, led by Mike, Claudia, and a few other residents. They constructed temporary shelters, developed a guard watch system, and had the area split into different camps. A good attempt is made to keep confrontational people and drug users from making a home there. Homeless shelters, many say, are too violent and drug use is too common. Until police force them to relocate, the residents of the Macon Delta have a place they can proudly call "home."
