From: <br />Katie Goetz <br />To: <br />GRP -City Council <br />Cc: <br />nmerriman(d)midpen-housing.ora <br />Subject: <br />609 Price Ave <br />Date: <br />Monday, October 12, 2020 3:07:56 PM <br />Dear Redwood City Council, <br />I am writing to urge you to vote Yes on the proposal from MidPen Housing to develop 80 <br />units of affordable housing at 609 Price Ave in Redwood City. <br />You don't need me to tell you, the need for affordable housing for low income and very low <br />income families and individuals is great. MidPen housing has a wait list of over 500 Redwood <br />City families who are waiting for affordable housing. When new affordable apartments <br />become available families apply for units at a twenty to one ratio. <br />Redwood City values being a welcoming city. I think we often think of this in terms of <br />immigrants, but welcome must also extend to people across the economic spectrum. For <br />Redwood City to continue to be a vibrant, diverse community we have a moral imperative to <br />provide housing for people at all income levels. The MidPen project at 609 Price Ave is an <br />opportunity to live into this imperative. <br />Sincerely, <br />Katie Goetz <br />pastor, Woodside Road United Methodist Church <br />
