Housing affordability is not only about new construction — it also includes preserving existing homes so residents, like Mr. Mallard, can age in place with dignity and safety. Thanks to our Housing Rehabilitation and Renovation Program, East Tampa resident Mr. Carlton Mallard received $147,000 for home renovations like a new AC unit, a new roof, hurricane-impact windows, and much more. Now, he is safely able to stay in the home he grew up in. Keep an eye on tampa.gov/housing in mid-June when applications open again soon.
