Re: Affordable Workforce Housing and Overnight Shelter
Dear Sheriff Ramsey:

As the Florida Keys are facing unprecedented times, I need your assistance in the critical area
of affordable workforce housing. The devastation of Keys' neighborhoods just outside the
City of Key West will certainly have a tremendous impact upon our workforce. The City has
available land to aid our lower keys neighbors and Monroe County in rebuilding our
communities. A crucial part of the puzzle is the continued maintenance of the overnight
shelter on County property adjacent to your facility on Stock Island. While we still intend to
fully relocate the facility, I believe that we could use the land intended for the shelter to
provide housing for displaced residents of the workforce impacted by Hurricane Irma. With
your support, I will seek the cooperation of the City Commission and other County leaders in
bringing a plan forward.
Rest assured I understand the hesitancy you may have in supporting the current existence of
the shelter. We will work with you on any operational issues while we evaluate other short
and long term options for permanent siting. I appreciate your continued consideration and
look forward to speaking with you further on the issue.
Sincerely,
47�
Craig Cates
Mayor
