Dear Mr. Solis:
Thank you for the opportunity to make a presentation regarding the Golden Gate
redevelopment at yesterday's Board meeting. The County's active commitment to create
housing for seniors, veterans and essential service personnel is commendable. It is an honor
and a blessing to have had this opportunity.
As we said in our presentation, regardless of the final developer selection, we stand in support
of the community's efforts. If there is anything we can do assist with the completing the
development, we stand ready to provide whatever we can.
The most important issues are not the buildings, floor plans, elevations or amenities....the most
important issue is to provide a home for the people who support the community through their
work every day.
Thank you again for this opportunity.
Very truly yours,

Dear Board of County Commissioners, -
We are writing to respectfully request that you approve the application of Immokalee Fair Housing
Alliance,Inc.to develop affordable housing on Lake Trafford Road in Immokalee.We,Trinity
Commercial Group, believe that everyone deserves a chance to live in safe and decent housing.
The harsh reality is providing affordable housing is an extremely difficult task.We recognize that
challenge and are encouraged by organizations,like Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance,who selflessly
provide for this.community. We support IFHA's plan tomake this a reality and are truly inspired by their
efforts.To be able to provide secure, hurricane resistant housing for farm-worker families and other low
to moderate income residents is not an easy endeavor, but we believe it would uplift the entire
community. Individuals and families spend a majority of their income on rent.Approving affordable
housing allows these workers to not only afford common necessities such as healthy food,clothes,and
childcare, but it also provides an opportunity to create a safer and more productive environment.This
would mean so much for these individuals and,families and could help create a better lifestyle for all.
We,Trinity Commercial Group, believe that every person deserves to feel safe in a home they can
afford,and we will support these organizations/non-profits who partake in bettering this community.
We are encouraged to see and know a group like this that is selflessly considering others in their
community above themselves.Thank you for the consideration.
Respectfully,
Dan O'Berski •

am forwarding this email to you just as a reminder of our previous correspondence. The meeting that was canceled because of the

I am a life member of the Salvation Army Advisory Board in Naples,
Florida, a non-profit organization. I'm request that you approve the
application of Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance... to develop affordable

The Salvation Army Board is aware of the injustice to farmworkers and their
families to fined decent, safe and affordable housing... other than the
deplorable, mold infested, over-crowded, unsafe trailers.
Our goal is to build and rent to farmworker families and other low income
and moderate income individual and families that live in Immokalee year
around. We believe everyone deserves to live in descent safe housing,
caring for each other and their families.
Our mission is to provide secure, affordable hurricane resistant rental
housing for farmworkers and other low and moderate income residents of
Immokalee.
