Sabo <br />Planning Director <br />City of La Porte <br /> <br />Dear Wayne, <br /> <br />As you and I have discussed, the La Porte Chapter, Bay Area - Houston Affiliate of <br />Habitat for Humanity (LPHFH) desires that the City of La Porte donate the property defined <br />as 114 N. 3rd Street - Lots 24-28 Block 40 La Porte to LPHFH. <br /> <br />LPHFH is a non-profit, 501@(3), ecumenical Christian based housing ministry whose <br />objective is to eliminate substandard housing from the world and to make decent shelter a <br />matter of conscience and action <br /> <br />As has been done with other property received from the City of La Porte and other <br />sources, LPHFH will build a one family house. The houses LPHFH builds are sold to pre- <br />selected families in need, at no profit and no interest for an average of 25 years. The family <br />must invest a minimum of 300-350 hours of "sweat equity" in building their own home or <br />another LPHFH house. <br /> <br />Since 1993, LPHFH has completed 19 homes in La Porte, 6 on S. 5th street, 4 on <br />Robinson Road (in Lomax), 6 on N. 4th street, and 3 on Deaf Smith road in Lomax. We need <br />the new property to continue our quest to provide low cost homes to low-income families. <br /> <br />Please let me know if there is any other information that you need. We truly <br />appreciate all the help the city continues to provide LPHFH. <br /> <br />4b/~' <br />'r '7~ <br /> <br />G. W.
