Re: Congressionally Directed Spending request for Habitat for Humanity
Dear Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper,
To Whom it May Concern:
We are writing to extend the support of the Weld County Commissioners for Greeley -Weld
Habitat for Humanity's plans to construct new affordable housing in the Hill N Park
community of Greeley. This will be a critical step forward toward Hill N Park's community
revitalization goals and is certainly a project deserving of federal funding.
Greeley -Weld Habitat for Humanity has been a long-standing strategic partner in our
community and they have demonstrated their capacity to leverage public funding to
successfully complete large-scale housing development projects. Their Hill N Park project is
well -planned and will offer much -needed affordable housing solutions in Weld County. It
will provide 22 new cottages for low-income seniors currently residing in distressed
manufactured units within the Hill N Park community. After the residents have been
relocated to the new cottages, the manufactured units will be demolished and replaced
with new, affordable homes for additional low-income households, further helping to
alleviate our county's affordable housing crisis.
We are proud to support this worthwhile project, especially as housing stock continues to
be at a premium, with inventories at all-time lows. CDS funding would help to ensure
completion of the project in an expeditious manner, and we are hopeful that Greeley -
Weld Habitat for Humanity will receive the requested federal support.
Sincerely,
Perry L. Buck
Chair, Weld County Board of Commissioners
