Again, I must emphasize that the request is for one time only. Efforts are
alr_ady in the making for additional and continuin3 f_ndin3 fr,a oth=r
sources for both operations and loans. It is important to get started and
to initiate this program in Over,own, t)at is why the funds fr_m the C[ty of
Miami are so urgently needed.
In the Bishop's letter of January 12, 1990 several sources of City funds
were identified that can be used to fund this program. In no instance i-,s
City Staff said that there is no money. The argument by the City Staff that
the Episcopal Community Development Loan Fund, Inc. is a diiplicati-)n i3
totally false. Instead, it is an additional resource for economic
development in the inner city th,t the Church is providi g,
I urge you to instr+ict the City Staff to proceed with the funding as
a, -)roved by the City Clommission in October 1.989.
Thanks for dour continuing support.
Faithfully,
Donald F. Benjamin, AICP
