First Selectman Gordon F. Joseloff has released a letter from Homes With Hope asking him to withdraw the application he had filed on its behalf to the Planning and Zoning Commission requesting an extension of its lease on town-owned property known as the Linxweiler Property to build supportive housing.

 In a statement, Joseloff said he had passed the request on to the Commission and added: “It is apparent there are still many unanswered questions about the application and that it needs modification if there is going to be any neighborhood buy-in.

 “We are deeply grateful for the work Homes With Hope does for those in need in Westport and hope that it will find a way acceptable to the community to continue to expand its services.”
