Dear CFV Supporter,
Last week I forwarded an email from Duke Paulson inviting you to sign a letter in support of our own Community First! Village, the stunningly successful permanent supportive housing model pioneered in Austin, TX, which has a powerful emphasis on building community and offers purposeful work, onsite behavioral health care, and case-management.
The email contained a bad link. Below is the correct one. We hope you will take a minute to sign on. Your support is vital.
Thank you,
Steve O'Ban

Subject: Re: my personal request for support for a Tacoma Rescue Mission project
Dear friends, I want to apologize, apparently the link I sent was incomplete and many people were not able to show their support for this Community First Village based project.
Here is the correct link:
Even with a bad link, some people were able to respond, but many others were not (I’m not sure how). If you have not yet, please do sign in to read the report and sign the form/give your feedback. Yesterday I was able to respond to questions from the Pierce County County Council in a hearing on this project. They are all aware of the need, now the question is will they commit to support this? Showing support either by signing this letter or going further to contact your council person directly would be fantastic.
Thanks,
Duke Paulson

Dear friends,
Thank you to everyone who has completed the letter to Pierce County Council supporting our efforts to bring a very intentional housing community with vibrant services and volunteer engagement for our most needy neighbors (chronically homeless) to our community.
If you have just been busy and not been able to read or respond to this yet, I understand! However the County Council will have its first hearing on this tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon, and will be bringing this forward for a vote hopefully by the end of the month. Please consider clicking on the link below and providing your feedback. I know that the council is looking to the community for informed responses to this need, and I’d love to have them hear from you as leaders in the community.
Also please feel free to share this link with the full report enclosed.
Thanks,
Duke Paulson

I'm asking for your help gathering community support for a big project!
Below is a link (I promise it's not spam or gathering your information) to a template asking you to sign your name and provide comments showing support for the Tacoma Rescue Mission’s proposed project of building and operating a Community First Village for our neighbors experiencing chronic homelessness in Pierce County. On the form, there is more information and a link to the full report given to the county council this week that will answer many questions about this project 😊.
Please consider signing this ASAP as the county council will be reviewing this next Tuesday, October 18th ad I’d love to show as much broad support as possible by that time.

This is a public form, so if there is someone that you would like to forward this to that you believe would be supportive, please feel free to do so.
With my sincere thanks,
