Dear Alachua County Board of Commissioners,
I am writing you to urge you to continue to support renters in our
county during these difficult times.
In my position at the University of Florida, I have talked with many
service workers, students and staff--many of whom are long-time
residents of Alachua County--who are in dire straits and unable to pay
their rent due to economic dislocations caused by the Global Pandemic.
As you know, infections rates are climbing again and negatively
effecting the economic outlook for Alachua County's working class
residents. Evictions in the middle of a pandemic are especially harmful
to renters and to the public health at large.
I urge you to do your utmost to direct federal and state resources to
assist renters for the duration of the Global Pandemic. Thank you for
your leadership and your compassion on this issue!
Sincerely Yours,
Paul Ortiz
