PLANT CITY, Fla., January 29, 2026 — The Timothy Initiative Ministries, Inc. announced today that it has secured 10 acres of land in Plant City, marking a major milestone in the organization's long-term vision to expand its ministry through farm-based programming and structured work opportunities for men in crisis.
The expansion comes amid continued pressure across the Tampa Bay region, where nearly 1,900 individuals were experiencing homelessness in Hillsborough County alone, according to the 2024 Point-in-Time Count—many of whom face heightened risk of relapse, unemployment, and recidivism without stable housing and structured support.
The property will be developed in phases and will serve as the foundation for a horticulture-centered Work Therapy Program. The farm is intended to provide routine, responsibility, and hands-on stewardship for men rebuilding their lives after homelessness, incarceration, or substance use disorder. Animal care and daily stewardship routines will be integrated into the Work Therapy Program to reinforce consistency, responsibility, and healthy relationships through hands-on service.

When men are trusted with responsibility and a place to grow, it changes the trajectory of their lives."
Site preparations will begin this week, with the first group of men expected to move onto the property during the first week of February. Initial development will focus on preparing the property for program use, including infrastructure, furnishings, and early agricultural activity. Over time, the farm will support daily work routines, life-skills development, and long-term program sustainability.
As development begins, The Timothy Initiative Ministries, Inc. is launching a phased "Fund the Farm" effort to bring the property into full operation. Current priorities include:
