[Year-Round Housing] Fwd: application update and meeting notice June 15 @7PM - library

[Mary Terry]

Good morning,

Congratulations! While it may feel daunting, this is great news.

I spoke with Liza for a bit yesterday and she is confident that those before
you will clear many of the hurtles you face.

I have been in touch with both TD North and People's regarding grant
applications.  Over the next few weeks I will write a draft and send it your
way. In both instances, the applications are due in the early fall so we
have time to review them together and seek other possible sources of
support.

At some point soon, we should talk about other possible funding options.

Best,

Mary
