TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game, The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to impact our community.
Stephanie Haile was named the Lightning Community Hero during the game on October 17.
Haile is the founder of New Life Warehouse. The all-volunteer nonprofit provides furniture, appliances, home furnishings,
and more to families transitioning out of homelessness.
New Life Warehouse has already helped more than 2200 families.
As the Lightning Community Hero, Haile and New Life Warehouse received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Hero program, presented by Jabil.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
