<br />A TT ACHMENT B <br /> <br />Livermore, Kathleen <br /> <br />From: Elaine deColigny [edecoligny@bfwc.org] <br />Sent: Thursday, October 26,20063:12 PM <br />To: Livermore, Kathleen <br />Cc: Liao, Thomas <br />Subject: Extending the moratorium related to the Downtown transit oriented dev strategy <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Livermore; <br /> <br />I am a resident of San Leandro, the director of a local non-profit, and the co-chair of the Alameda <br />Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care Council, and I support extending the moratorium that affects <br />the 39 opportunity sites identified as part of the City's preparation of a Downtown Transit-Oriented <br />Development Strategy plan. I am unable to attend the City Council meeting on November 6th, but <br />wanted to go on record in support of the extension. <br /> <br />This past Monday night I was part of a team, including city and county staff that presented to City <br />Council a study on homelessness in San Leandro that they had commissioned. The presentation <br />included an in depth discussion of EveryOne Home: Alameda County-wide Homeless and Special <br />Needs Housing Plan, which includes a goal of creating 15,000 permanent supportive housing units <br />across Alameda County over the next 15 years. These units will be affordable to extremely low income <br />individuals such as the homeless and those living with HIV 1 AIDS and severe mental illnesses. It is my <br />hope that the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy will include a commitment to such housing here in <br />San Leandro. The City Council will be considering whether or not to adopt "EveryOne Home" in an <br />upcoming Council meeting. I believe EveryOne Home has plenty of relevant analysis and strategies for <br />the work the City is doing on the TOD Strategy. A complete EveryOne Home: Alameda County-wide <br />Homeless and Special Needs Plan is available online at: <br /> <br />hUp:1 Iwww.aiqshousing.org/ahwlibrary2275/a.hw_UbraIY_sllow.htm3.doc jd=3 003 71 <br /> <br />Please let me know if I can provide you any additional information on our planning process. Tom Liao, <br />Jean Horn, and Joann Oliver from the city staff have all been very involved in presenting EveryOne <br />Home to City Council, and would also be a resource. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br /> <br />Elaine de Coligny <br /> <br />Elaine de Coligny <br />Executive Director <br />Building Futures with Women and Children <br />1395 Bancroft Avenue <br />San Leandro, CA 94577 <br />(510) 357-0205 x 103 fax: (510) 357-0688 <br />edecoligny@bfwc.org <br />www.bfwc.org <br /> <br />._"-' ~..__.""''''''''''' .-,,__...__....
