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 to make 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
Trinity Commercial Group

Dear Board of Commissioners,
Community Presbyterian Church of Englewood, Florida (CPC) respectfully requests that you
unanimously approve the application of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance (IFHA)to develop
affordable rental housing on Lake Trafford Road for low-income farm workers and moderate income
individuals and families who drive and support the financially healthy economy of Collier County and
our state.
The CPC congregation has a long-standing relationship with the farm workers at Mision Peniel.
Volunteers from CPC devote their time and work hard at Mision Peniel in Immokalee on a monthly
basis with coordination from the Peace River Presbytery. On any given Friday,volunteers can feed
over 500 adults and children and provide donated clothing from congregants in the Presbytery.
The living conditions of these workers is appalling and has become even worse since Hurricane Irma.
Little to no maintenance of trailers and slipshod cabins. Boarded windows, no climate control,
inoperable appliances, water and power issues, domestic unrest among unrelated families in one
living unit, and on and on. An extremely unsafe and unhealthy environment for productive workers
and healthy families!
CPC is not only asking for your support in this endeavor. We are asking you to become a partner with
us. CPC has joyfully contributed $8,000 to the IFHA's commitment to provide affordable housing for
our brothers and sisters in Immokalee County.
Thank you kindly for your consideration,
Rev. Dawn Mayes Jack Gillespie

RE: Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, Inc. application to develop affordable housing on Lake Trafford Road
Dear Commissioners,
Peace River Presbytery is 37 congregations in southwest Florida with a membership of 14,152 laity and 147
clergy. Peace River Presbytery operates Mision Peniel in Immokalee which ministers to the needs of
farmworkers. At a Peace River Presbytery Stated Meeting on February 27, 2020, the presbytery voted
unanimously to approve the following motion regarding an application scheduled for a hearing in Collier
County:
Peace River Presbytery fully supports the efforts of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, Inc., and
agree with their assessment that the homes to many agricultural workers and their families are unfit,
overcrowded, frightening, unsafe, unaffordable and are not hurricane resistant. We therefore ask that
the Collier County Commissioners approve the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance's plans to
develop affordable housing on Lake Trafford Road in Immokalee,FL.
I hereby certify the above action of Peace River Presbytery.
