Dear San Luis Planning Committee:
My name is Alicia Laskowski I have been following this post since you started this process. I am very interested and
would appreciate the opportunity to be a home owner in San Luis Obispo. I am not education of vocabulary to impress
you or the punctuation to write the best letter so I will tell you my true story of why I would love the opportunity to be
fortunate to be blessed with a home in the San Luis Community. I am a single mother with four children have been
through a divorce domestic violence my ex husband went to prison our house was about to go into foreclosure in 2016
the market to a dramatic drop our house appraised for 800,000 and we sold it for close to 600,000 but with all the
attorney & fees we lost everything trying to provide for our four children. I had to separate four children with my family
as I became a Correctional Officer for the California Men’s Colony in San Luis California. I have not been able to afford a
home in San Luis Obispo Ca. I commute forty-five minute every day I do try to commute with in a van pool. Working in
an institution we are mandated working 16 hours a day sometimes it can be two days in consecutively only getting
maybe four hours sleep which is not safe for a human to function in a environment where there is violence and we are
to protect public safety.
My children are my life and do to riots in our institutions I am not able to come home to them but if I had a home close I
know they would be close to me. I would appreciate the opportunity to have a home I could afford investors have came
into our area and made it impossible for the housing market for us to buy a home. I do not understand how families are
affording housing in this are they are moving out of the state all of the officers I speak to when they retire are they
selling their homes because they can not afford to live here making well over $140,000. My income at a seven year
Officer is $108,000 and can not afford a home the down payment is difficult for me to come up with if there is a way to
assist me with a plan I would appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the San Luis Community. It would be a blessing
to my family. A prayer answered Lord glory be to God.
Sincerely,
Alicia Laskowski
