Castor says it may be a long time before Tampa catches up with its housing shortage. The problem grew larger during the pandemic. Thousands of people from northern states relocated to Tampa.<\/p>\n

Abbye Feelye of the mayor\u2019s staff says Tampa needs homes for teachers, firefighters, nurses, and others who risk being priced out of housing in the city.<\/p>\n
