One agency, four roles for the whole county.
HUD asks every community to name who plans the work, who holds the data, who applies for the money, and who administers it. In Tampa-Hillsborough County, that is THHI. Fewer than a dozen communities in the country have all four roles in one agency.

We convene the providers, government, business, faith, and lived-experience members who make up FL-501, and we keep the plan to end homelessness on track.

The community plan
Housing first, and then causes underneath it.
Getting someone inside is the fastest thing we can do. Keeping them inside means working on what put them outside in the first place.
-
Poverty and wages that do not cover rent in Hillsborough County
-
A shortage of housing that a minimum-wage household can afford
-
Untreated mental illness and substance use
-
Job loss, eviction, and discharge from jails and hospitals with nowhere to go

Ways you can help
HELP US REDUCE UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS BY 90% IN
TAMPA-HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
Based upon the findings of the 2022 Point-In-Time (PIT) Count, .1% of Hillsborough County residents will sleep in a shelter, on the streets or in places not meant for human habitation. With the community’s help, we can make homelessness rare, brief and non-recurring. If everyone in the community gave just .1% of their salary, we could house our most vulnerable neighbors.
