Tampa Housing platform and Risk Track

TOT-P2-C07-002

One front door for housing help.

Delivery conditions

Detailed schedule is not established in the supplied canonical timeline. Timing shown is v1 editorial sequencing, subject to the source gates.

A departmental technology platform within administrative authority; privacy and data rules are legally reviewed.

The problem

Housing help in Tampa is scattered across offices, hotlines, and websites — each with its own rules and forms. People in crisis have to navigate a maze just to be seen.

The plan

The Tampa Housing platform will be the single front door for housing assistance, with a Risk Track that identifies the households most likely to lose their homes and moves them to the front of the line.

Privacy protections and data rules are reviewed before launch, and a fiscal model confirms the platform is sustainable before it scales.

How you’ll know it’s working

  • Households registered on the platform
  • Referrals to assistance completed
  • Median time from application to help received
  • Share of high-risk households successfully housed
  • Privacy and data compliance verified

From the Blueprint

  • Resident view shows place in line, available units by neighborhood, and personal risk status.
  • A Risk Track flags rent burden and eviction risk early; an uploaded eviction notice triggers immediate case routing.
  • A public pipeline dashboard gives site-by-site transparency with a public waitlist.
  • First-year target: the platform is live with response-time and stay-housed reporting.
No more calling into a void. No more wondering where you stand.
