/2.02/irg <br /> qi!!) <br /> The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service <br /> Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514 <br /> • <br /> 207 Wilson Street (919) 929-6380 <br /> June 16. 1788 <br /> Ms. Shirley Marshall, Chair <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 707 E. Franklin Street <br /> Chapel Hill ,' NC 27514 <br /> Dear Ms. Marshall: <br /> The Inter-Faith Council is .arateful to the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners for including the IFC Shelter in its 1788-19E19 budget. <br /> As you know, the IFC has formed a partnership with the Town of Chapel <br /> Hill for purposes of renovating the Old Municipal Building into a <br /> human service facility primarily a community shelter and kitchen for <br /> • <br /> the homeless and hungry of our county. Chapel Hill has thus far pledged <br /> .$200,000 for the renovation of the OMB and the town is also be furnish- <br /> ing all utilities, building maintenance and continued landscaping of the <br /> outside grounds. <br /> Previous to this commitment, Chapel Hill , through its Human Services <br /> Advisory Board, provided the IFC $15,000 to operate our existing <br /> shelter income for three years. The Town of Carrboro has also provided <br /> funding, $5,000 annually for the last three years and $6,500 for fiscal <br /> year 1988-89... In addition, the Housing and Community Development Depart- <br /> ments for Chapel hill , Carrboro and Orange County have been working <br /> cooperatively with the IFC to obtain Homeless Assistance funds from the <br /> NC Department of Human Resources for the last two years. <br /> It is our belief that this recent support, plus the support of many <br /> congregations and concerned citizens indicates that the shelter for the <br /> homeless is now an effort which is owned not just by IFC, but by joint <br /> public and private interests. The cooperation of many county and <br /> private agencies has also insured that the many clients who are without • <br /> a home or a meal can be referred to the IFC for shelter---a resource <br /> which now can provide sleeping accomodations to 42 men, women and <br /> children. <br /> It is the purpose of this letter to encourage our Commissioners to <br /> allocate more than $5,000 to the shelter operation in your next fiscal <br /> budget. We strongly feel that $15,000 would be an amount that would <br /> more adequately represent the county's commitment to this project, <br /> as well as meeting the operating costs necessary for IFC to effectively <br /> manage a safe and comfortable shelter for the county's homeless. <br /> IFC hopes that your financial support for these necessary services can <br /> be significantly increased. We will be meeting with you on June 22 to <br /> further describe the needs of Orange County's homeless population and <br /> to answer your questions. In the meantime, if you or any Commissioner <br /> have a concern, do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> (6.1i7rely <br /> OP United Fund Agency <br /> " Rev. -ichard Eden , F' esident <br />
