Since the homeowners have not been identified and specific work scopes per home
developed, I have attached a general budget for the typical work that we do which includes
interior and exterior repairs.
i hope the City of Miami will give favorable consideration to this request. I am happy to
answer any questions that you might have.
Sincerely,
Donna Fales
