History
The current President started the 13th Street Heights Neighborhood Association in 1979, when there were 23 members. The membership has fluctuated; the current active membership is at 39 homeowners. Over the years, the neighborhood association has been recognized through awards and grants in the past several years.

Organizations/programs
We have business meetings on the second Saturday of each month at 3:00 p.m. at the Enoch Davis Center. We have at least two social functions yearly, one at Christmas time and one in June, when we adjourn for the summer. However, even during the summer, we keep in close contact to discuss various neighborhood projects and issues. We are truly a neighborhood association that cares. For example, we keep in frequent contact with neighbors who are disabled or sick. This is ongoing and year round.
We believe the 13th Street Neighborhood Association is a strong, viable organization, which has been instrumental in improving the neighborhood and the city, lowering crime and bringing people together.

Neighborhood grant projects
In 1994, we applied for and received a grant for neighborhood improvement. Oak trees, palm trees and shrubbery were planted on 15th Avenue between 9th and 13th Streets, on 12th and 13th Streets and on Melrose Avenue.
We also applied for and received a grant to help kids in the neighborhood to say no to drugs. The grant provided funds for the "Say No Club" for outings to Fort DeSoto, sporting equipment and T-shirts. As a result the children participated in the following: neighborhood cleanups, anti-drug marches and field trips to the Seminole Agriculture Farm, The Florida Aquarium and Ft. DeSoto, to name a few.

Boundaries
9th to 16th Streets South from 11th to 18th Avenues South.
