I'm a supporter of the great works of Valley CDC.
I urge you to support the CPA funds of $200K which is 1% of total project costs. CPA support really helps demonstrate
local support of the project which is often a requirement when applying for State funding.
Some reasons why the project needs local funding:
The additional costs associated with addressing the challenging site (pour drainage, extensive foundation)
The City’s requirement of designing to Passive House standards and using no fossil fuels
20 of the 30 units are set aside for folks coming out of homelessness – showing local commitment to this
vulnerable population is important!
