FLORIDA, REQUESTING THAT THE FLORIDA
LEGISLATURE DIRECT MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FUNDING TOWARDS THE "WORKING POOR".
WHEREAS, the City of Sebastian recently supported an affordable housing
project that received funding through the state; and
WHEREAS, despite the hopes of many, citizens in desperate need of housing
assistance were unable to qualify for this program; and

dream of home ownership beyond the reach of hard-working citizens like those who
protect us from crime and fires, teach our children and repair our streets;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Sebastian, that the Council hereby petitions the Legislature of the State of Florida to
enact programs that direct housing assistance to working class citizens that have found
the cost of housing beyond the reach of their finances.
