RE: MERIDIAN VILLAGE, PORT COQUITLAM

Gentlemen:

We have had a few applications for tenancy in Meridian Village from
persons in receipt of Social Assistance who are resident in areas
other than Port Coquitlam. Being cognisant that this may involve
the City in extra costs, we have discouraged these applicants
pending a ruling on this matter, even though some of the requests
show an extreme need for housing.

Our stated policy has always been to give priority to Port Coquitlam
residents regardless of their financial status, however, one of our
prime objectives is to provide housing to residents of the Greater
Vancouver Regional District under the same guidelines.

We would appreciate your helping us to attain our social objectives.

views in this regard.

Yours very truly,
