Dear Mayor Pinard:
Each year our County receives two allocations of funds to be used by
non-profit community agencies to provide emergency services such as food,
shelter, rental or utility assistance. In the past twelve months, these
two funding sources have allocated over $100,000.00 to San Luis Obispo
County. The funding sources are the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's (FEMA) Food and Shelter National Board Program and the State of
California Emergency Shelter Program (ESP) .
The local FEMA/ESP Board is soliciting names for consideration as new
board members. Board Members make decisions on which community agencies
receive funds and monitor the use of those funds. The board meets
approximately six times a year from November through April . If you, a
member of your City Council or your designated representative would like
to have a voice in the distribution of these funds, submit a letter
nominating yourself or someone else you would view as appropriate for
this function. These letters should be directed to the FEMA/ESP Board,
P.O. Box 8119, San Luis Obispo, CA 93403, to my attention.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact Ann Travers, Homeless
Services Coordinator at 781-4214, or myself.
Sincerely,
Floyd Cummins � �
