I am sorely disappointed to read that a six week course on Home Ownership would be offered only to Bahama Village residents of Key West. That is not fair, nor is it really legal. There are many working, responsible residents of Key West who are struggling and trying to remain in Key West under the present high costs of living here. The fast depletion of affordable housing for our responsible working adults makes our workforce particular at risk. Adults with valuable skills and jobs cannot afford convenient single income rentals. However, they may qualify for home ownership, carrying a mortgage. Investing in the City they love would be a win/win. ,These people need the knowledge and advice to go about the process of home ownership. Fear of rejection, and lack of confidence and knowledge stop many from moving forward. . If there is to be a supply of available housing in Bahama Village, then it must be fairly available to all that qualify under fair rules of ownership. Teaching a course on Home Ownership should be available to all citizens of Key West, non discriminatory. Key West City Council must move ahead responsibly and fairly on issues of Affordable Housing.
