Hillsborough Kids -
Helping Kids and Families

Hillsborough Kids oversees the care of approximately 2,800 children and teens in Hillsborough County due to abuse or neglect. Our mission is to keep kids safe while strengthening families.

Funded primarily through Florida’s Department of Children and Families, Hillsborough Kids is the lead agency managing child welfare in Hillsborough County. Our community-based care network of partner agencies provide:

  • Child abuse prevention
  • Family crisis intervention and preservation – providing short-term services for families to assist with keeping families intact.
  • Diversion services – in coordination with Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Child Protection Investigation Department – to avoid unnecessarily removing children from their home and helping to preserve families.
  • Independent living guidance for teens in foster care and those aging-out of child welfare.
  • Supervision, keeping children in a safe and stable environment.
  • Case management – Dependency court supervision.
  • Foster and residential care management.
  • Adoption placement.
  • Foster parent and adoption recruitment and training.
