If the contract proceeds, Stanford looks forward to contributing $25,000 annually towards a two-year service agreement that includes support for services to the unnoused wine come onto santoralanes
Over the past five years, my team has participated with city staff in stakeholder conversations to build greater understanding of the needs of our local unhoused population, particularly the individuals and tamilies currentiv dwelline in their vehicles and KVs. We are pleased at the role the Pilot Proiect has plaved in deepening connections
We look forward to being a partner as the City of Palo Alto and Lifeloves and continuing our collaboration.
Sincerely,
