In preparation for Housing Week, lOCP will be working within our member <br />congregations to provide education about affordable housing issues. The same week is <br />also National Hunger Awareness Week. <br />Cities are key partners in the effort to meet the housing needs of low and moderate <br />income residents and employees. In recognition of the City of Orono’s central role and <br />significant contribution to these efforts, we hope the City will consider participation in <br />this initiative in the following ways: , <br />1. Join with the mayors of the cities of Plymouth. Wayzata, Long Lake and Medina <br />in issuing a proclamation of Housing Week, (proposed text included) <br />2. Participate in the November 11, 5’.00-7:00 pm kick-off event and program on <br />Lake Street In Wayzata. Would you also consider serving soup together with <br />Girl/Boy Scouts that evening? ... i. « <br />3. Invite city staff and council members to participate In the November 11 kick-on <br />6V6nt. <br />4. Distribute a short information piece (see enclosed brown card) at your front <br />desks and other places in your office that have high i'^‘erection with the public. <br />5. Allow lOCP to pitch a tent in front of your office during the time Bob Fisher is <br />sleeping out to raise funds. Might you, or others at City Hall, consider a night in <br />the tent as a part of a city-to-city challenge?.. .just a thought! <br />6. Print an article about Housing Week (to be supplied by lOCP) in your city <br />newsletter prior to November 11. <br />Enclosed is a short report on homelessness in our area, based on 1999 data from <br />lOCP. Please call Jill Kohler, lOCP Development Director, at 473-2436 if you have <br />questions or would like additional information. <br />Thank you for your consideration of this request and your continued support for <br />addressing this critical issue. <br />Respectfully, <br />L,. <br />LaDonna Hoy.
