Hillsborough County Housing Stability Program

Are you a Hillsborough County renter having housing problems? Help is available!

We work with you and your landlord to try to get a plan to move forward outside of eviction Court. This might be a payment plan or a move out plan, it just depends on what you and your landlord both agree to.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to force tenants and landlords to agree, but we can try to work out a plan.
