Northwest Youth & Far niry Services- <br /> IRush Lake Business Park • 1775 Old Highway 8 • New Brighton, MN 55112 • Telephone 636.5448 <br /> April 19, 1995 <br /> Mayor Clarence Ranallo <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony MN 55418 <br /> Dear Mayor Ranallo: <br /> Much discussion is occurring about the eventuality of melding city <br /> and suburban populations. As we plan for this eventuality, we have <br /> all been aware for the need for appropriate low-cost housing which <br /> will . make it possible for a diversity of people to live in our <br /> communities. This addresses one of the needs of our changing <br /> population, but fairly dramatically over looks the need for <br /> appropriate support' services which are also desperately needed by <br /> these same people. <br /> This year a new CDBG process for establishing priorities of how the <br /> suburban allocation of money should be dispersed was initiated. <br /> • The three priorities established were low-cost housing, housing <br /> rehabilitation and self-sufficiency targeted efforts. While we all <br /> support the intent of these priorities to assist individuals to <br /> maximize their potential and become self-supporting, there seems to <br /> be a significant lack of attention to providing the necessary <br /> services that will make these long-term goals possible. <br /> Realizing the need to collectively address this concern as a <br /> suburban community, we are asking you to attend a meeting on May 2, <br /> 1995 at 4: 30 P. M. at the League of Minnesota Cities Building, 3490 <br /> Lexington Avenue North. We are also extending this invitation to <br /> our suburban county commissioners so they can hear and discuss with <br /> us possible solutions. Please ask someone else from your city to <br /> represent you, if this meeting time is impossible within your <br /> schedule, as we want your city to be represented. <br /> See you on the 2nd for a lively discussion and development of an <br /> action plan. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> iGlayor Kay Andrews, LICSW <br /> Falcon �Heights Executive Director <br /> NW YOUTH_ &_FAMILY SERVICES . <br /> Arden Hills • Falcon Heights • Lauderdale • Little Canada • Mounds View • New Brighton • North Oaks • Roseville • St.Anthony • Shoreview <br />
