451 7th Street S.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20410
Dear Secretary Jackson:
The City of Sanford, in partnership with Seminole County and the Seminole County
Sheriffs Office, is applying for a YouthBuild implementation grant. This new program,
which will leverage the resources of numerous organizations in the community, will
provide both improved housing opportunities and educational options for our hardest to
serve youth.
The program will target court-involved youth who currently attend school at the
Seminole County Sheriffs Division Of Juvenile Crime Enforcement & Intervention
Intensive Community Supervision Unit. The students will build homes for Habitat for
Humanity and Golden Rule Housing and also make renovations and repairs for low-
income homeowners. Upon completion of the program, private construction companies
have agreed to offer apprenticeships or employment to participants.
The Sanford/Seminole County YouthBuild Program benefits not only the individuals
involved but also the community as a whole. I fully support this endeavor and would
appreciate your favorable consideration of the application.
Sincerely,
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
~1~
Mayor
