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.
CoC Lead 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.
About THHI
HMIS Lead Agency
We run UNITY, the secure system that partner agencies use to record who was served, what worked, and where the gaps are.
Go to UNITY
Collaborative Applicant
We assemble and submit the community's annual HUD Continuum of Care application, including project ranking and the consolidated funding request.

Unified Funding Agency
We hold the grant agreement for the whole community and pass funding through to subrecipients, with the monitoring and audit responsibility that comes with it.

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
-

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.
