TAMPA, Fla. — At every home game The Tampa Bay Lightning honor a local person or nonprofit working to make an impact in our community.
During the game on March 6, Irv Cohen was honored as the Lightning Community Hero.
Cohen believes access to tech education can open up job opportunities for young people. That is why he founded “CodeBoxx”, a program offering no cost coding education to people from underserved backgrounds.
It’s creating a path to tech jobs, creating a diverse pipeline of tech talent, and making significant impacts on the local job market.
The Lightning Foundation gave Cohen a $50,000 grant which he will put into his program to help even more people in the Tampa Bay area.
“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.
