What HDC does

Human Development Center Inc. (HDC) is a Florida-incorporated non-profit organization headquartered at 3809 North Tampa Street, Tampa, that for over 40 years has delivered a continuum of residential, day-program, and behavior-analytic services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, and challenging behaviors in Hillsborough County. The service portfolio consists of six core offerings: 24-hour supervised group home living, semi-independent supervised community group home living, supported living, individual behavior programs, Adult Day Training (ADT), and Behavior Analysis Services. HDC operates six group homes (three in Seffner and three in Tampa) along with supported living homes distributed throughout Hillsborough County, with daytime programming designed to teach marketable job skills and support transition to community-based employment.

The organization's clinical foundation is the Principles of Behavior Analysis: behavior analysts observe and measure behavior, set clear expectations around specific behaviors targeted for increase or decrease, collect data on outcomes, and revise individualized programs based on the data. Programs are structured to teach independent living skills, work behaviors, problem-solving, and employee-supervisor relationships, ultimately supporting inclusion and employment outcomes.

HDC is funded through a combination of government contracts with Florida's Agency for Persons with Disabilities (and likely Medicaid waivers), donations (monetary and in-kind), and service fees under Florida Homemaker and Companion Services License #5010. The organization holds charitable registration #SC-12877 and is FDOT Title VI compliant. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals from families, case managers, and state agencies; digital presence is limited to a website (currently being rebuilt) and a social media presence. The organization has 11-50 employees and operates as an independent, board-governed non-profit with no parent company, private equity backing, or venture investment identified.
