to acquire, rehabilitate and operate eighteen (18) units of rental housing for low income persons
with AIDS at the Life Quest facilities located at 1301 Northeast 111th Street, 11115 Northeast
13th Avenue, 1075 Northeast 149th Street, 1095-1097 Northeast 149th Street and 14950-52

Pursuant to Resolution No. 03-1244, adopted December 18, 2003, the Miami City Commission

Pursuant to Resolution No. 04-0445, adopted July 8, 2004, the Miami City Commission

five cents ($181,207.65) for the rehabilitation of the Life Quest facilities.
