July 15,2024 <br />City Council <br />c/o City Clerk <br />1017 Middlefield Road <br />Redwood City,CA 94063 <br />Re:Support 112 Vera Avenue -Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County <br />Dear Members of the Redwood City City Council, <br />The Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County (HLC)works with our communities and their <br />leaders to produce and preserve quality affordable homes. <br />On behalf of HLC,I’m writing to express our support for the 112 Vera Avenue proposal by Integrated <br />Community Development;which has 178 new (affordable)homes just outside of downtown Redwood <br />City.We’d like to highlight that this proposal will include 75 very low,and 31 extremely low-income <br />homes;providing at least 106 of your most vulnerable community members the stability they need to <br />continue supporting your community,whether it be through their patronage of,or their employment by <br />your city’s small businesses.These are the community members that make Redwood City such an <br />attractive place to call home,but they struggle to find,afford,and hold on to suitable places to live. <br />While the lack of deeply affordable homes in your community is a complex issue,solutions do exist.The <br />homes by Integrated Community Development can be part of the answer,which is why we urge you to <br />support the 112 Vera Avenue proposal. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ken Chan <br />Senior Organizer <br />Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County <br />2905 S.El Camino Real,San Mateo,CA 94403 •(650)242-1764 •hlcsmc.org
