WHEREAS, housing is a vital basic need for all people; and
WHEREAS, the numbers of homeless and inadequately housed persons in the
Twin Cities continues to grow at an alarming rate; and
WHEREAS, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity builds affordable homes for people
whose income and resources would not ordinarily permit them to own their own homes;
and
WHEREAS, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity involves the future homeowner and
volunteer workers from churches and the community in building and renovating the
homes; and
WHEREAS, public and private community involvement in addressing the needs of
homeless and low-income individuals such as that which Twin Cities Habitat for
Humanity provides is the best way to meet the long-term needs of poverty-stricken
individuals to solve the homeless problem; and
WHEREAS, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity has built three homes in Minneapolis
for very low income families and plans on doubling the number of new homes it builds
in Minneapolis and Saint Paul in 1988 and greatly increasing that number each
subsequent year; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED that the City of Saint Paul declares August 1, 1987 Twin Cities
Habitat for Humanity Day; and be it further
