The attached resolution seeks your formal support for the concept of
substantially rehabilitating Robertson's Warehouse for the provision of
Section 8 assisted housing for the elderly. Additionally, it re- emphasizes
Common Council commitment to take appropriate steps to promote the develop-
ment of Section 8 assisted family housing within the City.
Inasmuch as the delivery of family housing is critical to our receipt of
additional Section 8 reservations for the elderly, the administration believes
your support of this resolution will serve to assure HUD of our local commit-
ment to fulfill the housing needs of all of our citizens.
Therefore, we encourage your unanimous support of this resolution.
