Dear Mr. Riley,
I write to request that I be placed on the agenda of the Board of Supervisors for their meeting on
May 13, 2009. My purposes would be to request that the Board of Supervisors adopt a
resolution designating People Incorporated as the Community Action Agency for Frederick
County. I am enclosing a draft resolution for their consideration.
Adoption of the resolution imposes no financial obligations on the Board of Supervisors, but
would enable People Inc. to receive federal funds that would result in new opportunities for the
low and moderate income citizens of your county. With the designation, we would request that
the Board of Supervisors appoint someone to represent them on our Board of Directors.
People Inc. is expanding its service area to include the Northern Shenandoah Valley as a part of a
state -wide plan for expansion of community action developed by the Commonwealth's Secretary
of Health and Human Resources. Shenandoah County and Page County have already adopted
resolutions designating People Inc. as their Community Action Agency. We have already
partnered with the counties to acquire grant funds for housing development and for
microenterprise development.
People Incorporated is a forty-five year old non - profit organization that is the Commonwealth of
Virginia's oldest and most diverse Community Action Agency. Our mission is to provide
opportunities for people to reach their goals in order to enhance their lives, their families, and
their communities. We operate a wide range of programs that offer opportunities for human
development, housing development, small business development, and community development.
Our approach is to create new services and opportunities that a locality wants, but not to
duplicate services with existing service providers.
Although we have spoken about this subject several times, I had not planned to come to you with
this request quite this soon. However, I just received notification from the Virginia
United Way
