Mr. McQueen,
I am writing to request a grant of $550,000 to complete the affordable housing project located at 241
NW 17 Street Miami, FL 33136 ("Sir John").
Sir John is a two-story residential building consisting of 23 single rooms and 5 shared bathrooms. It is an
ideal residence for members of the community to enjoy affordable, secure, safe, clean, and private
housing in Historic Overtown. Historically, guest houses, or rooming houses, have been a large part of
the fiber of historically African -American communities, first -generation immigrant communities, and
many other communities in the City of Miami. As an all-inclusive "flat -rate" housing building, Sir John
allows low-income residents to enjoy the housing environment they deserve. Residents of Sir John can
save money without the worries of unpredictable utilities thus allowing them to financially prepare for
transitioning from a room, with shared bath, to a full housing setting such as an apartment or home. Sir
John creates an ideal opportunity for residents transitioning, either out of homelessness or an
involuntary downscale, to avoid homelessness by creating a below -market housing option.
Since my initial grant request in April of 2020, a required 40-year certification was conducted in August
of 2021 that revealed structural issues (which put the building in the jurisdiction of the Unsafe
Structures Board) and other issues that were not part of the original scope of work and related grant
request. In addition, the pandemic, inflation, the cost of materials, and the cost of labor has materially
increased since my initial grant request. Overall, all of the foregoing factors have increased the project
cost. Please note that construction will be a very basic retrofit to a 1941 building in order to refresh the
interior and exterior, reinforce the structure, and bring the building up to code where required.
With respect to the construction status of the project, my plans were submitted in August 2022 with the
permits approved on 1/30/23. As this building is currently under an order of the Unsafe Structures
Board, all permits must be closed by 8/28/2023.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Amani Kancey
