City of Tampa's housing assistance hotline aids residents

As Tampa grows, it's residents are seeing the changes. "I definitely have noticed rent and other things that went up. Growing up in West Tampa, we always heard about people coming in and revamping the city and doing stuff in the city. And once they started doing that, I seen the new people start coming down from like New York, upstate, different places, and rent has skyrocketed. Like I remember, even though it was 2011, we were paying what we were paying," said Desmond Gaines. Last year, the city unveiled its Housing Information Line. A hotline dedicated to connecting the people of Tampa to much-needed housing resources.
