As an organization that <br />works with communities and their leaders to produce and preserve quality affordable homes <br />Broadway Plaza's proposed 520 homes, 120 of which are at an affordable rate, is in alignment <br />with our vision. <br />We urge the Redwood City Planning Commission to support the approval of the Broadway <br />Plaza development in order to meet the need for more housing, particularly affordable <br />housing for those most vulnerable. By moving this development forward the Planning <br />Commission continues to provide an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future to the City <br />of Redwood City, where all individuals can have access to quality, affordable homes. <br />Providing a site for affordable homes will not only create more homes at a deeper level of <br />affordability than just meeting the inclusionary requirement, it will also create a much needed <br />child care facility, onsite services and amenities that will make for a great place for residents of <br />this new development. <br />Please uphold the City's values of diversity, inclusion, and equity by supporting the Broadway <br />Plaza proposed development. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alexander Melendrez, Organizer <br />Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County <br />2905 S.
