Summer Camps
Summer camps begin May 29 for children in first to eighth

games, field trips, crafts and more. Each week, children learn
about positive through group discussions,
games, activities and positive role models. Camp prices
start as low as $90 per week, and supervision is provided
from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Camp registration is under
way, and scholarships are available to those who qualify.

Keep Clearwater Bright and
Beautiful
Summer is here – and leaves, grasses and greenery are growing
tall and strong. Branches will be cut and may end up in the
city’s storm drainage system. Remember that stormwater
flows directly into ponds, lakes, rivers and bays. Because water
runs off our yards, it is important to reduce the amount of
pollutants on our property. Trash, debris, and pollutants in
yards – like fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides – can wash into
the stormwater system, polluting our environment and causing
blockages in storm pipes. Substances such as detergents, motor
oil or clippings from chemical-treated grass are dangerous to
local waterways.

Down Payment Assistance and
Home Rehab Program
The city of Clearwater can assist residents seeking home
rehabilitation loans and down-payment/closing cost
assistance. Homeowners who qualify can receive up to
$40,000 in a home rehabilitation loan to address code-related
repairs through Clearwater's housing program. Examples
of home improvements include roof replacement, electrical
repairs, plumbing repairs, air conditioner installation, door
and window replacement and Americans with Disabilities
Act modifications. Certain requirements must be met.
Down payment and closing cost assistance also may be
available to those who purchase a home within Clearwater

home is new or existing and maximum sale price. Applicants
must meet income eligibility requirements and program
guidelines. For information on both programs, call 562-4036
