Project Somerville, as you saw in our presentation to the DDA Board, is 47 units of permanent affordable housing for families with children, to be located on property owned by Camillus at 337-381 N.W. 4th Street. The attached letter from Jack Luft, indicates its consistency with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000. In order for Camillus House to qualify this project for the State's Community Contribution Tax Credit Program, Florida Statutes, Sections 220.183 and 624.5105 require a resolution be passed by local government attesting to this. Certification under this program, permits corporations to deduct 50% of their contribution to such projects from certain state taxes (up to $200,000). As you can see, our fund raising efforts for this much needed project will be enhanced by this certification. I'm enclosing a sample resolution passed by Dade County to qualify the new Homeless Assistance Center at the former Homestead Air Force Base. If I can aswer any questions, or assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
