The City of Tampa’s Housing and Community Development Division (HCD) is responsible for planning and coordination of the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan, including the Annual Action Plans. HCD works with various community partners and leaders to address the needs of the community as well as refine programming. The City of Tampa has taken the lead on various training opportunities to help build community partners as well as other jurisdictions in the region. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l)) The City of Tampa’s Annual Action Plan was developed through a collaborative effort of public, private, and non-profit organizations. The City has developed a stronger working relationship with Hillsborough County’s Affordable Housing Department to help address the need for affordable housing and the homeless crisis in the area. Through collaborative efforts the City, County and the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative implemented Operation Reveille, the Mayor’s Challenge to End Veterans Homelessness and funded an affordable housing project. Through these efforts the Tampa Bay MSA realized a significant decrease in the number of homeless individuals and has developed a system to reduce the number of days from identification to housing for homeless individuals. The City continues to offer support through funding and provides technical assistance to non-profit agencies, the Public Housing Authority (Tampa Housing Authority) and housing developers. Technical assistance workshops have been offered by the City to improve Housing Counseling Services, IDIS training, Uniform Property Construction Standards and assist in meeting federal and state guidelines. Social Service Agencies The City will continue its commitment to consult with a variety of entities to proactively develop a long-range strategic plan to address the supportive service and housing issues of special needs persons including those with HIV/AIDS. The City is also committed to providing technical assistance workshops to build capacity of non-profit social service agencies and non-profit housing corporations.
The City of Tampa coordinates with the Continuum of Care (Coc) through active participation in CoC discussion and efforts with the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative (THHI). Through the use of the Homeless Information Management System (HMIS) and the Coordinated Intake and Assessment (CI&A) process efforts to assist chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and unaccompanied youth have been improved. Outreach to engage persons sleeping on the streets and in other places not meant for human habitation is primarily addressed by local organizations, faith based organizations offering food and devotional services, and dedicated Hillsborough County Sheriff Deputies and Tampa Police Officers. Outreach efforts target those who are least likely to request housing or services in the absence of special outreach. The CoC will ensure all housing and supportive services are available to eligible households regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, age, familial status, or disability in accordance with the HUD final rule “Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity.” THHI is working to coordinate these efforts to improve efficiencies and streamline access to assistance for homeless, chronically homeless and Veterans contacted on the streets. Outreach is part of the CI&A process and utilizes the same assessment to match persons to the most appropriate housing intervention. The Housing First Model, is a proven best practice, for ending homelessness for the most vulnerable and chronic population, and is a current strategy that both the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County are making, in a joint effort to support the CoC and THHI through dedicated funds. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The City of Tampa coordinates with the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative (THHI) to provide a countywide approach to homelessness. The City, County and Tampa Housing Authority have agreed to coordinate all homeless service efforts through THHI. They serve as the lead agency for the continuum of care for Hillsborough County. The Director of the Planning and Development Department, of which Housing and Community Development is a part, serves as a board member of the Tampa Hillsborough Homeless Initiative as the Mayor’s appointee. The City also participates in the THHI Continuum of Care strategic planning and application process. A City of Tampa Housing and Community Development staff person also sits on the HMIS Advisory Committee. Policies and Procedures for the operation and use of HMIS are written and reviewed by the HMIS Advisory Committee before they are presented to the CoC. Recommendations are then discussed and implemented when feasible. The result of the City, County and THHI collaborating and participating in planning efforts has resulted in the City of Tampa assisting individuals and families who are homeless access shelters and receive rapid re-housing assistance. The measurable outcomes include improved access to stable housing, adequate referrals to resources and assistance, employment, exit from shelter to permanent housing. 2.
