Dear Ms. Ripka,
I kindly request your forward this message to the Springfield mayor and city council
for their consideration. Thank you so much!
Dear Mayor Lundberg and City Council,
I’m writing today to ask for Council support for affordable housing in Springfield by the
allocation of CDBG funds in accordance with the Draft 2020 Eugene-Springfield
Consolidated Plan Priority Needs.
I support CDBG funds being awarded to Cornerstone Community Housing for the
predevelopment of 525 Mill Street. As a former affordable housing resident and
current Cornerstone board member, I have seen firsthand how important affordable
housing is. It truly transforms lives and strengthens our entire community.
Cornerstone proposal for utilizing
CDBG funds directly aligns with the Draft 2020 Eugene-Springfield
Consolidated Plan Priority Needs. As a former member of the Eugene CDBG
Advisory Committee, I understand the importance of responsibly and strategically
investing CDBG funds. Cornerstone has a 28-year history of developing high-quality,
affordable housing in Lane County. Supporting this Cornerstone project is a great
investment for our community. The CDBG funding will allow Cornerstone the
opportunity to provide sorely needed homes for Springfield residents for decades to
come.
Thank you for your dedication to the community and your thoughtful decision
regarding this allocation.
Sincerely,
