The Tampa Housing Authority was incorporated in 1937. Its mission is to cultivate affordable housing while empowering people and communities. Beyond managing federal Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs, the Authority works with local governments and partners with public and private organizations to carry out entrepreneurial urban development projects that expand accessible housing options in the Tampa area through mixed-income residences paired with commercial developments, and augmented by community service programs that improve the quality of life for all Tampanians.
