The money will be administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), part of the Department of Health and Human Services. At the end of this month, HRSA will contact the Camillus House to begin processing the grant. Camillus House will be asked to provide information about how the money will be spent. Once this information has been received, HRSA will process the application and release the funds. Within Congress the earmark was pushed by Congressman Bill Young, the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and a member from the Tampa area, Congresswoman Carrie Meek, and Congressman Dave Obey, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. Allan Katz, a name partner in our firm, formerly worked for Congressman Obey. Due to Allan's efforts, Congressman Obey's staff met with us and learned about the project. We cannot overstate how helpful Congressman Obey was to us. Obviously, we did not get all the monies needed for Camillus House. However, the project is in the system, and it should be easier to get more funding in the Fiscal Year 2003 process. The amount obtained should be sufficient to do the design work and perhaps some site preparation work. This year we need to get construction dollars. To do that we will continue to work with Congressmen Young and Obey and Congresswoman Meek. We will get further support from other members of the South Florida delegation. We have also been working with HUD Secretary SEOPW/CRA 02- '78 g-d d9t:t0 20 12 Jew WI KATZ, Ku'rrER, HMGLER, ALDERMAN, BRYANT & YON, P.A. Commissioner Art Teele Annette Lewis January 9, 2002 Page 2 Martinez. We are trying to get discretionary monies from HUD. We are also trying to arrange a site visit by the Secretary. A lot remains to be done in 2002. But, we are confident that our partial success in 2001 will be expanded upon in the FY 2003 budget cycle. RS/sa go SEOPW/CRA 02- '78 4•d d9I:10 20 12 Jew
