Quality Housing for All Individuals and Families
Wimauma is the fastest-growing part of Hillsborough County. We have the highest rate of growth and development and the trend is projected to continue. Without significant advocacy, Wimauma’s supply of quality housing will continue to shrink.
At the Wimauma CDC, we collaborate with local government and nonprofit partners to monitor and advocate for housing development that will support future generations in Wimauma. We work to identify and curate housing solutions for all cultures in our community.
