Elaine deColigny, a boardmember of the Alameda Point Collaborative, stated that her
organization, Building Futures with Women and Children, is the sponsor of 53 units at Alameda
Point. She expressed appreciation for the decision of the ARRA to execute the legally binding
agreements, which will enable them to access $500,000 in financing that is dependent upon these
agreements. The Collaborative supports the adoption of the Rules and Regulations, provided that
