“Through the leadership and visioning of Camiros, we have achieved great success during the completion of this planning effort.” – Ron Clewer, CEO Rockford Housing Authority

Dear Colleagues,

It is my sincere pleasure to write a letter in support of Camiros, Ltd. for their efforts in Choice Neighborhoods planning. I had the extraordinary opportunity to work with the Camiros team in creating the Ellis Heights Choice Neighborhoods Transformation Plan under the Rockford Housing Authority/HUD 2011 grant award. Through the leadership and visioning of Camiros we have achieved great success during the completion of this planning effort.

Additionally, Camiros served as our planning partner in the expansion of our Ellis Heights plan as we moved to a broader footprint known as the Westside Connections plan. This plan was the basis for the 2013 Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant request submitted in September 2013. The Camiros team guided the planning meetings and the creation of the documents for the Westside Connection neighborhood. Their comprehensive vision process unites and activates residents in the process so that a true reflection of the community’s wants and needs is captured. They are also cognizant that this vision must mesh with the Authority’s vision and implementation capacity.

In conclusion, I give Camiros, Ltd. my support in Choice Neighborhoods planning. As we strive to provide better housing, we grow to become better communities. Camiros, Ltd. understands how important that goal is. It would be most beneficial to have them on your team. Please contact me at (815) 489-8570 if I can be of any further assistance.

Sincerely,

Ron Clewer
Chief Executive Officer
Rockford Housing Authority
