TAMPA, Fla. – The city is offering critical home repair assistance through the Healthy Homes Program. This program, funded by a nearly $2 million federal grant, aims to help at least 90 low- and moderate-income families stay in their homes.
“Helping families remain in their existing homes is a part of our affordable housing initiative,” said Mayor Jane Castor. “It is our hope that we can give homeowners peace of mind while the program’s funding takes care of expensive repairs that will ensure the longevity of these homes.”
