Hillsborough County approves nearly $3.8 million to restore electrical service at senior mobile home park
Summary
The board approved a local housing fund agreement to provide nearly $3.8 million to replace electrical infrastructure at a 55+ Senior Mobile Home Park on Gandy Boulevard in Tampa, funding drawn from the FY26 local affordable housing fund after storm damage.
Hillsborough County commissioners approved a local housing fund agreement on Dec. 17 to provide nearly $3,800,000 to Homes of Regency Cove for electrical infrastructure replacement at a 55‑plus Senior Mobile Home Park on Gandy Boulevard in Tampa.
Demorris, the county communications staffer who summarized the meeting, said the community includes 431 mobile homes and 16 apartments and suffered extensive damage from hurricanes Helene and Milton, leaving many residents — including those on fixed incomes — without essential services. The board indicated the funding will pay for replacement of electrical systems to restore reliable service.
The recap states the funding comes from the fiscal year 2026 local affordable housing fund. The board’s action was described as a local housing fund agreement; the recap did not include commissioner vote tallies or a detailed timeline for construction. County staff are expected to manage implementation and report progress to the board.
