Clearwater, FL – In light of the expected inclement weather from Tropical Storm Helene, Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside is announcing the following measures to ensure the safety of our staff, homeowners, and volunteers:

Closure of Administrative Offices and Construction Sites

All Habitat administrative offices and construction sites will be closed on Thursday, September 26th.

Postponement of Home Dedications

All Habitat home dedications originally scheduled from Thursday, September 26th through Saturday, September 28th, are officially postponed. They have been rescheduled to Monday, September 30th following Habitat’s 5-in-1 home dedication celebration in Safety Harbor.

Eight Home Dedications Scheduled for Monday, September 30th

Habitat will celebrate five families as they earn the keys to their Habitat Homes on Elm Street in Safety Harbor. All five families will be neighbors. These homes were built side-by-side on Elm Street and sits on 0.8 acres of land that was purchased by Habitat from the City. The City generously provided the lots at a significantly reduced price compared to market value, making this development possible. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to creating affordable homeownership opportunities within the community. Learn more about these five home dedication and the families here.

This Double Home Dedication to celebrate the Crone-Wilkins Family and the Maddox-Paro Family has been rescheduled from Thursday, September 26th to Monday, September 30th at 11:30 AM at 1130 LaSalle St and 1132 LaSalle St. in Clearwater.
