women's shelter issue

this is the e-mail response I got from estela lopez. She is really wonderful, Matt (my boyfriend) spoke with her this morning following my receiving this e-mail, and she wants LTL to be a part of a meeting with the DWC Feb 5. Please see the post on the bulletin board on the 2nd floor regarding this.


annie, i am the director of the Central CIty East Assn. James Doizaki kindly shared your concerns about the Downtown Womens' Center (DWC) moving next door to you. there was a public hearing at the Community Redevelopment Agency last week, which i found out about just a few days in advance...and quite by accident. i immediately contacted your HOA management office. they had their attorney contact me. i gave her all the information and she said she would be there to speak on behalf of the owners of LT Lofts. but no one came. i was the only person there to speak out against the grossly inadequate public outreach by the DWC on this project. the DWC had a long list of people there to speak in support. the project received the green light to move forward. nevertheless, the DWC staff has been directed by the city council office to meet with me and provide me with information on their design and operations plan for the new location. they have indicated that i can invite whomever i wish to this meeting. would you like to come? it is on Monday, Feb. 5 at 2pm at their existing location on Los Angeles Street. My contact info is below.
