<br />
On a personal note, sad as I am, I would do this all over again because at least we tried to do something about homelessness and poverty. The work of the Lexington Hotel has been an act of love and perseverance. We have tried to help people get back on their feet, equip them with the knowledge that they are capable of achieving their dreams, and most importantly, that they are not condemned to the suffering of mental illness, drug abuse and homelessness.<br />
<br />
I want to thank all of you: staff, donors, board members, friends far and near who have encouraged us, supported us and made the many miracles of this work happen. It's been an amazing journey.<br />
<br />
We are looking for a buyer for the Lexington Hotel. Please tell people who might be interested.</div>

He passed away on January 12, 2018.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
NAHASDA, a HUD funded program
(Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996) administered
by Indian tribes, has funded CARE 66 programs that given people a home and a
second chance at life<span class="st">. NAHASDA is a very flexible program and
when done right could stimulate investment, prosperity and access to
opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span class="st"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
In the light of the recent articles
in the Arizona Republic and KOB Albuquerque, I would like to offer a few
thoughts and some perspective, in no particular order. I would also like to add that, in my
experience, these revelations generally have negative impacts on the
program. NAHASDA has helped save lives
in this community.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
For the last ten years, CARE 66 has
worked with the Navajo tribe to address homelessness and affordable housing in
Gallup. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
About a third of the costs of
renovating the Lexington Hotel came from the Navajo Nation. The Lexington Hotel provides shelter, it is also
great example of the Housing First model of permanent supportive housing in
Gallup. A majority of our clients are
Navajo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
Similarly, the Nation contributed
about 68% or $7.1 million of the development costs for Hooghan Ho’zho in
downtown Gallup. Thirty of the units are
set aside for Native American families. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Leadership: A lot depends upon the capacity and
vision of the leadership. Our projects
were correctly perceived to be innovative.
By extension, innovative is difficult.
It requires persistence, engagement and hard work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Learning: Innovation demands learning. We had to learn how to work off reservation
with rules designed for working on reservations. We had to learn to trust and to recognize
that setbacks would be part of the process.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Partnership: Because the Nation was not
providing all of the funding we had to learn to work with USDA, HUD, a private
bank, a technical assistance provider and lender, and a religious lender. In addition, we had to work within city,
county and state regulations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Flexibility: NAHASDA can be very flexible. However, this flexibility needs to be
implemented in a consensus across a range of departments and perspectives. This takes a lot of meetings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
In the City of Gallup, our market
study show that approximately 1000 Native American families are in need and
able to afford some kind of affordable housing.
This is almost half the Native population of Gallup.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
In conclusion, NAHASDA can work
very well if all parties are willing to work together towards common goals. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Another Hare Brained Idea<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The
purpose of the CARE 66 is to end homelessness by providing homes that people
can afford to rent or buy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I
am going to try to walk through some of the big picture thinking that we go
through in the development of affordable housing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">What does affordability mean?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Affordability
generally means that no more than 30% of a family’s income is spent on
rent/mortgage, utilities and repairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">For
a family of four making less than $25,000 per year that would mean that they
would pay about $7500 a year or $625 per month, for rent/mortgage, utilities,
and repairs. Think about that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">This
family would have a monthly income of $2083 before taxes. After deductions for taxes (17%) they would
have $1729 to spend on groceries, transportation, rent/mortgage, utilities and
repairs, shoes, clothes and other necessities of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Assume
that utilities are $100 per month for gas, electricity, water, sewer, and
garbage collection. And that repairs are about $50 a month. That means their rent/mortgage should be
$475. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">If
this family has a girl, a boy and two parents, they should have a three-bedroom
house with 1.75 bathrooms. It would be
possible to build a house with 800 square feet to accommodate this family. The cost of building such a zoning-compliant
house would be ideally around $135 per square foot plus the cost of land and
taxes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">There
is no garage and space is tight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Total
cost would be around $140,000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">A
30-year mortgage at 5% would be $676 including taxes and insurance after a 10%
down payment of $14,000. Think about
that. A family of four living in poverty
having savings of $14,000 to spend on housing.
Extremely unlikely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The
question is: could a developer build and sell a house for $140,000 and make a
profit? Or even cover the costs of the house?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> If they were renting from an
affordable housing provider in Gallup.
They would be required to pay at least $500 for rent and to pay their
own utilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> Using the numbers above this means
that the developer would not be able to cover development costs or operating
costs for the apartment from day one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">So how do we house families living in
poverty?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> So what does this mean for people
who have an income that is less than poverty?
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">How
do they afford a home? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Can
they buy a home or could they rent something?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">What
could they rent on an income of less than $12,000 per year? For $237 per month?
Plus utilities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> What we have here is a housing
crisis. And what is the solution to this
problem? A little more money into
underfunded housing assistance programs that are overwhelmed with desperate
families seeking homes? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">They
can’t afford the security of a decent home.
Poverty is not good for health and education outcomes and there is not
much hope for improved incomes. As the
generational poverty in this area proves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The problem in Gallup?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> About 25% of the population in
Gallup live in poverty. That means more
than 1600 families live in poverty. A
majority of these families are Native American in this town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> Housing them at the ideal cost of
$140,000 per unit would cost about $225 million. No wonder nobody wants to do anything about
this. The problem is huge.
Overwhelming. More than ten times the
city budget. The real cost of a housing
unit is between $175,000 and $200,000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> I haven’t even got around to talking
about operating costs, maintenance, rent collection, repairs, upgrades,
insurance, taxes, personnel, and support services. For a rental unit these costs are about $6800
per unit per year. 1600 units will cost
about $10.8 million per year to operate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The solution for Gallup<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> There are resources out there. Very few grants. But a creative patching together of state,
city and county money, tribal money and other affordable housing funding
mechanisms, like tax credits could bring this money into town over a period of
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> What do we need to make this
work? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">A
willingness to learn and implement housing ideas that are not your uncle’s 1950s
ideal suburban dream. In other words,
repopulate downtown. Build dense
housing. Create communities. Find
alternatives to parking. We need places i.e.
homes for people to live not parking lots for cars. In other words, we need to change our zoning
code.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Let’s start with 500
units of apartments or condos<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">If
we build 500 units of affordable housing that serves families with a wide
spectrum of incomes in the next five years in the downtown, we will need an
investment of more than $105 million.
That’s a lot of money. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The
operating costs for 500 units would be about $4 million per year plus debt service,
assuming debt service to be about 25% of the development costs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">We
could do 500 units if we had a guarantee for 10 years of operating costs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Because.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">It’s
the operating costs that make or break the sustainability of an affordable
housing project. Once capital costs have
been incurred they are sunk costs that look good on a balance sheet. And since the weakness of affordable housing
is its lack of cash flow because of low rents because of low incomes, a check
for operating costs would provide the missing link to sustainability and prosperity
in this town.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">I
am not going to turn down a check for development costs. But a guarantee of operating costs means that
I can do a $10 to $12 million every year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">More
importantly, a guarantee of operating costs means that rents can be reduced to
much less than 30% of a family’s income.
This has the benefit of increasing a families spending, increasing
stability, improving health and education outcomes, reduction in the use of
police and emergency rooms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">The
other big beneficiary is the city. A
$105 million of investment in the downtown will improve our housing stock, get
rid of eyesore buildings, and make the downtown the center of this community
once again. This investment will also
attract private investors to develop non-affordable housing in the area. The impact on retail and restaurants in the
downtown will be significant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Second,
McKinley County and the City of Gallup will both share about $10 million in gross
receipt taxes from construction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">To Summarize<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Affordable
housing development has many components.
Two key cost areas are design/construction and operations. Resources for design/construction would be
more easily accessible if were a guarantee for operational costs with which pay
the loans, maintain and repair the project, collect rents and ensure that
housing goes to those who need it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"> The advantage to apartments is that there
is reduced cost for land and it is possible to build a much higher density than
suburban development. Building
apartments are more cost efficient than single-family homes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">In
general, affordable housing improves property values in an area and housing
low-income families puts more money into the local economy, while reducing the
crime and improving health and wellbeing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">A
ten-year $4million guarantee for annual operating costs and debt service would
enable us to raise most of the money needed to develop 500 apartments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Mixed
income developments prevent the concentration of poor families in an area, and
contribute to the revitalization and prosperity of the downtown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">So
who’s in? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was cold on Saturday. About 15 people raised money and rode to end homelessness. Andy Stravers had the most pledges. People rode in two groups - the forty mile group and the 62 mile group. Juliana and Tia helped fuel riders with water and food.<br />

an architectural team from <span style="color: blue;">Atkins Olshin Schade (AOS)</span> and <span style="color: blue;">7 Directions</span> has
produced a winning design for a new mixed income development on the west side
of Gallup. Architects <span style="color: blue;">Daniel Glenn</span> of 7 Directions and <span style="color: blue;">Jamie
Blosser</span> of AOS won over CARE 66 Board Members and Stakeholders with their
design to transform 7 acres in the Stagecoach Neighborhood into small groupings
of townhouses and apartments with common areas to promote both connectivity and
safety. Glenn and Blosser were one of three architectural teams
invited to compete in a design competition sponsored by Enterprise Community
Partners. Daniel Glenn, AIA, is an MIT educated architect with 27 years
of experience in sustainable building design and is recognized as a national
leader in sustainable housing design for Native American Communities.
Jamie Blosser, resource member for the Sustainable Cities Design Academy and
founder of the Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative, has been
practicing architecture in New Mexico for fifteen years. CARE 66 plans to
move forward with the new team for additional planning in 2014.<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span></span></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:formulas></v:stroke></v:shapetype></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am writing to you a few weeks before the 4th Annual Mother
Road Bicycle Classic. We hope that your and/or your friends will take the
time to ride in this event. This year’s event is raising tax-deductible
gifts for CARE 66. We hope to use this year’s event to raise money for
Hooghan Hózhó, a 44-unit downtown affordable housing project that will be
completed next year. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Due to funding constraints, we have had to remove the Early
Childhood Development Center from the project. The building is as
originally envisioned with patios, open spaces and sunlight. Our
intention is that this will be a space where working families will find a home
and the support they need to thrive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If it is not possible for you to ride in this event please
consider sponsoring a rider. You can sponsor by the mile or as a lump
sum. Or you can just make a donation to CARE 66. This year we are
adding a BBQ in the evening following the ride for riders and their families.
Next year we will do the ride during the Gallup Indian Ceremonial
weekend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are excited about this event. We have Board members
and volunteers who help support riders with water, food, and emergency repair
supplies. It has been a great way to spend the day in and around Gallup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">GALLUP,
New Mexico — With a $6 million commitment from Navajo Housing Authority (NHA),
the Community Area Resource Enterprise (CARE 66) held a groundbreaking ceremony
for a 44-unit, multi-family, mixed-income supportive housing rental development
in downtown Gallup, on East Coal Avenue on May 29. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
44-unit, three-level, Hooghan Hozho housing project is scheduled for completion
next April and will include resident facilities, offices, and incorporate
several outdoor courtyards. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Sanjay
Choudhrie, executive director of CARE 66, expressed appreciation for the
project and its partners. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“The
groundbreaking represents a wonderful breakthrough because from this point
forward we are now going to figure how to construct the building as oppose to
how are we going to get enough partners and finances for the project,” said
Choudhrie. “We have come to this place because of the faith that the NHA Board
of Commissioners and executive team at NHA has placed on us and we are very
grateful for the opportunity and look forward to working on other projects with
NHA.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">On Jan.
26, 2011, the NHA board of commissioners passed Resolution NHA-4146-2011, by a
vote of 6-0-0, authorizing the issuance of a Letter of Commitment for $6
million to CARE 66. Funding would come from the 2011 Indian Housing Plan funded
by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996
(NAHASDA) Indian Housing Block Grant Funding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“NHA
understands that a lot of our Navajo people live in the border towns of the
Navajo Nation,” said NHA Board Chairman Edward T. Begay. “Our partnership with
CARE 66 is an opportunity to help our Navajo people in Gallup who often times
find them selves in desperate need of housing.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Other
funding sources for the project came from Bonneville Capital, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City of Gallup and McKinley
County. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“About
50 percent of the people that live in Gallup are Navajo,” said Rhonda Berg,
CARE 66 Housing Development Director. “It’s a wonderful partnership that NHA is
getting started for the benefit of Native Americans.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Of the
44 units, 30 units are to be housed by Navajo families according to the
provisions of NAHASDA,” Berg added. “Construction is set to take place in July
on this year and will take about 10 – 12 months to complete.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In March
2012, CARE 66 also opened a 21-unit supportive housing complex that provides
transitional and affordable housing in the former Lexington Hotel in downtown
Gallup, New Mexico. The NHA provided $1 million NAHASDA funding to CARE 66 for
the rehab and renovation of the Lexington Hotel. CARE 66 said of the 21 rooms,
10 rooms are set aside to assist Native Americans. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">According
to CARE 66’s website, the median income for a household in McKinley County was
$25,005, and the median income for a family was $26,806. The per capita income
for the county was $9,872. About 31.90% of families and 36.10% of the
population were below the poverty line, including 42.30% of those under age 18
and 31.50% of those ages 65 or over. The county's per-capita income makes it
one of the poorest counties in the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Care 66
is a nonprofit Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) based in

<div class="MsoNormal">
June 2012. Last month an operating grant for services to
homeless people was completed. As yet, we have not been able to get a
continuing grant. We were forced to lay off several staff members because of
the revenue shortage. Carl’s TV caught fire and we are still waiting to
determine the cause.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

These crises have caused us to fast track other projects,
imagine new ones including a senior citizens project, and develop partnerships.<o:p></o:p></div>
