Crafts Avenue Letter.pdfMarch 27,2024
To the Community Preservation Committee:
I’m writing as a Florence resident and former Chair of the Housing Partnership to
express my complete support for funding for Valley CDC’s development of housing on
Crafts Avenue.Valley CDC has done so much to develop affordable housing in our
community,and in my opinion their completed projects are thoroughly planned and well
executed.They fit into the spaces they are planned for,are very energy-efficient,and
are visually appealing as well.
We need as much affordable housing as possible.The particular parcel on Crafts
Avenue is well suited for people who are now or were recently homeless,as its location
is central and accessible,and the parcel of land taken for it is ready and waiting
(almost)!
I feel we are lucky to have Valley CDC as our community developer.Please grant their
request for funding the Crafts Avenue project when you meet on April 3.
Thank you,
Carmen Junno
