Hillsborough staff: Use nonprofits instead of Homeless Recovery | Tampa Bay Times

Hillsborough staff: Use nonprofits instead of Homeless Recovery | Tampa Bay Times: TAMPA — Hillsborough County government should close its troubled Homeless Recovery program and seek help from private social service agencies experienced at finding housing for the poor, county staff will tell commissioners today.

A staff memo released to the Tampa Bay Times says the county should ask Hillsborough's nonprofit homeless aid organizations to submit proposals for how they could help provide emergency housing and other services for the poor, in the hopes a new program could replace Homeless Recovery by Jan. 1.

Staff members will discuss the report with county commissioners at today's board meeting.
