The Rehabilitation Program assists families repair their homes. It is not
a remodeling program, but it will make deferred or low interest loans to
income qualified homeowners to correct items that do not meet the Minimum
Housing Standards of Hillsborough County. Homes must be located in Hillsborough
County, outside the City of Tampa. It must be a single-family home that
you own and live in.
The Barrier Removal Program helps individuals with disabilities to make
their units more easily accessible through wheelchair ramps, door
widening, handicap bars and bathroom remodeling. Funding is provided through a Grant. This Program is
also available for rental units with owner approval.
The Immediate Need Program assists mobile home owners whose units are located
in mobile home parks with home repairs for which there is no other program
available. In general, the Program is limited to a “one time only” approval
of expenditures, however, additional assistance may be provided for dire
emergencies, a life-threatening situation, or safety of the family. Funding
for this Program is also a Grant.
The Elderly and Disabled Assistance Program helps our elderly citizens
(62 or older) and disabled homeowners with emergency repairs like roofing,
electrical and plumbing. This Program is also a Grant.
Homeowners choose the contractor to bid on the construction specifications
provided by the County, and monitor the work on their home with assistance
from County staff as needed.
An application for any of these Programs can be obtained from the County
upon request. |
