Re: EnVision Center Partnership and Services

This letter affirms our organization’s commitment to empowering households to self-sufficiency. We aim to achieve this through the provision of services that support the following four pillars: economic empowerment, educational advancement, health and wellness, and character and leadership.

We commit to the following: developing and implementing a plan to promote and expand economic mobility; formalizing participation of community stakeholders; describing gaps in current service delivery models; identifying a physical location which can house an EnVision Center; and outlining specific goals for the EnVision Center.

We commit to working with federal agencies, state and local governments, non-profits, faith-based organizations, private corporations, our housing finance agency, and other community-based organizations to leverage resources for the benefit of individuals and families living in our community.

Our community is currently participating in one or more Federal place-based initiatives [such as, but not limited to, Community Development Block Grants, Promise Zones, or the Byrne JAG Program].

We understand that designation as an EnVision Center is contingent upon the submission and approval by HUD of an action plan.

Sincerely,
