HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton, former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning and members of the Miami Dolphins are promoting outreach to the homeless in Florida.

Clinton paid a visit Sunday to the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust’s complex in Homestead, which houses about 500 people who had been homeless. Appearing with him were Dolphins wide receiver Greg Camarillo and running back Patrick Cobbs, as well as former Miami Heat star Alonzo Mourning and Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (NAHM’-dee AH’-som-wah).

The former president painted his signature on a tile to be affixed to the front of a yet-to-be constructed farmer’s market at the complex. He was in South Florida for a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative at the University of Miami.
