Re: Recommendation to Approve RE 6 Support the City of Miami
Shelter Program at Camillus House for the Chronic Homeless
Dear City of Miami Commissioners:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" as requested in City Resolution 00-320, regarding RE 6,
which impacts the Miami River.
On behalf of the Miami River Commission, over 10,000 residents and
businesses owners and employees along the Miami River, I thank you
for preparing today's needed agenda item. Continuing the City of
Miami's successful Shelter Program is critical to implementing the
revised Pottinger Settlement Agreement. I would like to thank City of
Miami's Homeless Coordinator James Bernat from the Miami Police
Department, and the City of Miami's Homeless Assistance
Department, for their continued efforts to provide housing, medical
and dental care, mental health treatment, 3 meals a day, security, a dog
kennel, showers, lockers, a library, television, computers and activities
at no cost to the homeless. Everyone wants to continue striving for the
same mutually desired outcome, the end of homelessness.
Your time and continued strong support for the Miami River District
are appreciated.
Sincerely,
~44 #1;64
Horacio Stuart Aguirre
Chairman,
Miami River Commission
