Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup
As part of the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup, Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful will host the Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup on September 17th from 8 am – 11 am. Volunteers will cover various sites along the Hillsborough River, Alafia River, Little Manatee River, Lake Thonotosassa, and other waterways throughout Hillsborough County. Unlike a typical litter removal event, this annual event offers the opportunity for volunteers to engage in vital international research activities by taking on the role of “Scientific Data Collector" for a day. With a specific focus on water-based natural resource protection and activism, volunteers collect items and record the data to identify the number and types of littered items found. This information is used to determine future requirements for cleanup initiatives, and develop an awareness of these needs within the local communities that share these waterways. Collected data is shared with Keep America Beautiful and the Ocean Conservancy, as well as local officials, to help provide a local and global perspective.

Dare to Own the Dream
Did you know that the City of Tampa’s Dare to Own the Dream Program offers down payment assistance loans to income-eligible home buyers of property within the City limits of Tampa? The loan is in the second position behind primary financing from a mortgage lender and is typically known as a “silent second” because of the 0% rate and $0 monthly payment. The Deferred Payment Loan (DPL) can remain "silent" as long as the property continues to be the owner's primary residence and owner-occupied. The program provides up to $40,000.00 to assist income-eligible first-time homebuyers to achieve the dream of homeownership.
