RE: Stonehill Adult Day Care Project
Dear Ms. Selle:
This is in response to your letter of August 2 requesting comment on the above-captioned
application. The application is for funding from the Iowa Department of Human Services for
renovation and improvements in Stonehill's adult day care services.
The proposed project does not duplicate, run counter to, or need coordination with any other
similar program or project being carried out by the City of Dubuque.
This project is consistent with a goal of the Dubuque Comprehensive Plan which is "To work
with area providers to promote optimum social and family relationships." One of the stated
objectives under this goal is to "increase the opportunities for the elderly to maintain an
independent lifestyle."
In addition, the City recently completed its 5-year Consolidated Planning Strategy for Housing
and Community Development as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The process of creating the plan included extensive public participation and
consultation with service providers in the community. This plan identifies services to seniors as
a high priority and includes as an objective "support persons to stay in their homes."
The City of Dubuque is very supportive of the proposed project and would encourage the Iowa
Department of Human Services to approve Stonehill' s application for renovation and expansion
of the Adult Day Care Program.
