Hillsborough County Assistance Programs

 HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (8/4/20)




If you are currently struggling financially, Hillsborough County has a program that can help with Rent and Utilities.  Please go to the link below for more information.

https://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/en/residents/public-safety/emergency-management/r3-program

Funding made available to assist residents who have had a reduction of wage or are newly unemployed due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The funding aims to prevent recipients from experiencing further financial hardship or additional consequences to living conditions by assisting them with a lump sum payment directly to eligible residents to be used for rent and mortgage payments and financial assistance for past-due utility (electric) bills.

The R3 Utility and Housing Assistance portal is open and accepting applications. Financial assistance is awarded on a first-come basis and while funding remains available. It is recommended you complete your application all at once to ensure your application is submitted before the funding is accounted for.
For questions or assistance, call (866) 538-2926 to speak with a Customer Call Center Representative. The call center is open from 8 AM until 6 PM Monday through Friday.

Please stay safe and healthy!
