�waeuor&" A Non -Profit Organization Submitted October 21,1993 Dear Steve Ingalsbe, Cocoon House received your letter October 1 requesting additional specific information. Thank you for your attention to our proposed development of the Cocoon Complex. It is urgent that we process the information quickly because of grants, and sale agreements. Our letter from planning indicates that it is a three week process and we are pressed to stick to that. Thank you for attending to this. The following Is our response to the 11 items of information. 1-The need for the special use: The City of Everett does not have any long term supportive housing for youth who live on their own. All of these youth are served by the short term emergency shelter we operate, Cocoon House. Cocoon is in the City of Everett and three blocks from the proposed Complex. 60% of the youth served in the shelter have no home to return to after shelter care. Both the City of Everett Human Services and the oval neighborhood of Riverside recognize the need for this proposed program and are supportive of our development of this in this location. In 1991 and 1993 the City of Everett specified the need for services and housing for disconnected youth in the City of Everett. Cocoon House has letters of agreement wIth Family Counseling Services, Everett Alternative School, Community Health, and Employment Security to provide on -site supportive services in addition to the Cocoon House staff and volunteers providing supportive services as well.
