Above is a copy of a communication that was sent out to community leaders from the town regarding forming a task force to tackle some of the issues facing April Aire mobile home park. I have been named the town representative contact to this task force.
While improvements have been made to the park since being placed into receivership, there is still a ways to go in order to ensure residents have affordable, yet safe housing.
Identified goals of the task force are:
- Keep April Aire residents in their homes that are safe, sanitary and weather resistant.
- Coordinate efforts of all government and non-profit agencies to ensure compliance with applicable housing regulations.
- Create vehicle to direct possible donations.
- Create a safe atmosphere for all April Aire residents.
- Identify long term strategy to address future needs of April Aire Mobile Home Park.
Community groups/indivduals that have been asked to join this task force include:
Lutheran Social Service, Catholic Charities, Housing Partnership, Emergency Shelter Prospera Credit Union, Outagamie Housing Authority, Wisconsin Housing Alliance, Habitat for Humanity, Rebuid Together Fox Valley, Commmunity Foundation, Post-Crescent, Project Home Salvation Army, Rev. Will Bloedow, Denise Bruecker, Unitarian Universalist
I'm looking forward to working with other community leaders to achieve these goals for April Aire residents. Our first meeting is Friday, December 14th.
