Re: Albertville 47 Unit HUD Housing Project
Dear Mr. Dixon:
The City of Albertville supports Guardian Angels funding application to HUD for a 47 Unit
Senior Housing Project. The Albertville City Council, members of the Planning Commission,
and I have toured your facilities and were impressed with your operations both from an aesthetic
appearance and through testimonials from the very happy residents who reside there. As you
know, we have been working for many years to provide low income senior housing opportunities
for our residents. Over and over again the Guardian Angels name is recommended as running
great facilities and programs.
For the past several years, seniors have been asking the City to encourage development of low
income senior housing so residents can stay in our community as they age. The City of
Albertville currently does not have any HUD housing available and based on the recent market
study there is definitely a need. Should you receive HUD funding, the City of Albertville will
work with you and expedite your development applications through the City approval process.
Further, the City will look for ways to enhance your senior development project making it a great
place to live. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to assist you and feel free to have
a HUD representative contact me should they have any questions!
rBest Regards,
Ron Klecker
Mayor
