Housing Voucher Wait Times chart in tampa bay area

In 2024, 3 major hurricanes devastated parts of Pasco County. We lost over 800 homes and 7,000 rental units. Businesses were impacted. People lost work.

If you lost your home, could you wait 28 months to get a housing voucher? With such a massive loss in available housing, where do you take the voucher?

Vouchers are useless without places to use them.

By Increasing access to housing, we can make a positive impact on homelessness and disaster preparedness.
