O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Mayor Jabour and Council Members: <br />On behalf of the WeCAN Board of Directors, I am again asking the <br />city of Orono to support our request for Community Development <br />Block Grant (CDBG) funds. <br />WeCAN is a community-based human service organization, <br />dedicated to helping people achieve greater self-sufficiency and <br />family stability. We provide a variety of services to low Income <br />residents in western Hennepin County, and in most ^'ases WeCAN <br />is the only provider of these services In this area. In 1999, we <br />served over 700 families, ten of whom are residents of Orono. Our <br />services include emergency housing and utility assistance, job <br />counseling, food and nutrition education, family support services, <br />public assistance intake services, and family and individual mental <br />health counseling. Approximately ninety percent (90%) of those <br />families we serve have a total household income considered low or <br />very low. Enclosed is additional information about area residents <br />WeCAN served in 1999. <br />As you well know, your city's CDBG allocation is now part of a pool <br />of funds from communities receiving less than $75,000 annually in <br />CDBG funding. Orono has a long history of supporting WeCAN <br />operations, and your on-going support is essential to us. This year <br />WeCAN is requesting $15,000 from Consolidated CDBG funds. <br />If you continue to support WeCAN's mission of helping families <br />achieve greater self-sufficiency, we would appreciate a letter of <br />support or resolution from the City of Orono which affirms that <br />support by March 1, 2000. We will then submit your letter along with <br />’ - •It*
