The Housing Authority of the City of Tampa owns a diverse rental housing portfolio that consists of 13 apartment communities with
1,073 of recently converted Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) into Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD) project based
section 8 apartment homes, two senior communities with 450 public housing ACC apartments. The key benefits of converting to RAD
are to preserve existing affordable housing stock with a predictable HUD rental subsidy income, increase access to private capital
for renovations or redevelopment, streamlined administration of HUD programs and improved housing options for THA residents. In
addition the portfolio consist of a 76 bed Assisted Living Facility and the fiduciary responsibility for 2,553 mixed-financed
affordable and market rate units throughout Hillsborough County.
The Housing Authority has undertaken the most comprehensive plan in the City's history to improve the physical conditions of its units
and to expand the number of affordable housing units. The first phase that was completed was spending over $13,000,000 in major
renovations of the Housing Authority's North Tampa and
South Tampa communities. The modernization focused on major system replacements; such as
heating and plumbing; and kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Major landscaping, flooring upgrades and building enhancements were also
included to enhance the appearance of the communities to look and compete with market rate apartment complexes. The Housing Authority
has completed the Oaks at Riverview and
Belmont Heights HOPE VI revitalizations and Choice
Neighborhood Initiatives to revitalize an urban core area that is now known as
Encore.
The Asset Management Department has direct responsibility for the overall administration of the Housing Authority's housing programs.
Its administration consists of a Department Director, Senior Asset Manager, Property Management Staff and Administrative Support Staff.
