Tampa Florida Housing

Hello, I have had my parents living with our family for 5 years in Tampa (Hillsborough County) Florida. We planned to have them get on their feet and get a house of their own, except my dad decided to retire early and cut his income. My mom has ended up on dialysis and had a foot amputated. She can no longer work either.

They both have pension/retirement income in total of around 2200 a month. As such, they do not qualify for most programs I've looked at for making too much money, but are saddled with a large truck payment and previous loans accrued from previously having to attempt to pay their own rent before living with us.

There simply isn't enough room for all of us with the children growing and one child sleeping in the living room. I don't know what do or where to look for help getting them their own place. They can manage on their own physically for now, sort of, but that's like not going to last more than a few years as my mom's disability worse and my dad gets older and can't move her around as easily. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Any kind of housing is good enough for now.

Any recommendations for programs, communities, or facilities for them to live?
