Email to send to your HFCC point of contact on the Towne Twin Village project. Goal: obtain a one-page letter of support on HFCC letterhead describing the partnership and the work Noon delivered. This letter goes in every future grant package as institutional validation.
[Name],
I wanted to follow up on the Towne Twin Village work and ask for your help on a piece of paperwork that would mean a lot for the next phase of Noon Systems Corporation's operations.
Noon is now operating as a Texas Public Benefit Corporation (formed 2025), with a mandate to build and document ecological infrastructure projects at the kind of scale and public-benefit register that the Towne Twin work represents. As we begin grant-pursuit operations — local agency demonstrations, federal stormwater and urban-forestry programs, and foundation partnerships — institutional letters of support from partners like HFCC are one of the highest-leverage things a reviewer wants to see in a proposal package.
Would you be willing to draft (or sign off on a draft I send you) a one-page letter on HFCC letterhead describing the Towne Twin Village partnership and the scope of the install Noon delivered? It would cover: the dates of engagement, the nature of the partnership, the scope of work installed (three recirculating fountains that reclaim water and clean it with biochar and lime, a 100-watt off-grid solar system that runs the fountains and the filtration, and a limestone-edged bioswale with native habitat), and HFCC's assessment of the working relationship.
To make it as easy as possible, I've drafted suggested text below that you can adapt, modify, or use verbatim. If you'd rather write your own, that's of course welcome — the institutional voice from HFCC is what matters more than any specific phrasing.
I'd be grateful for whatever you can do here. Even a one-paragraph note on letterhead would be enormously useful.
Thank you, as always, for the partnership on Towne Twin and for everything HFCC does for the city.

Text below is drafted in institutional voice. Edit freely. Goal: brevity (one page), specificity (dates and scope), and a sentence the funder can quote.
To whom it may concern:
This letter is provided in support of Noon Systems Corporation, a Texas Public Benefit Corporation operating ecological-infrastructure projects in the San Antonio metropolitan area.
The Housing First Community Coalition engaged with the principals of Noon Systems Corporation on the development of ecological infrastructure at the Towne Twin Village community. The scope of that engagement included three recirculating fountains that reclaim water and clean it on site with biochar and lime, a 100-watt off-grid solar system that powers both the fountains and the filtration, and a limestone-edged bioswale with native habitat. The infrastructure was sized to deliver both immediate amenity for residents — the sound and presence of moving water, native habitat to sit beside — and long-term ecological benefit at the site level, all without a grid connection or utility bill.
Throughout that engagement, the Noon principals operated with a level of design discipline, ecological literacy, and documentation rigor that is uncommon in residential and small-commercial landscape contracting. Their willingness to source and publish their methodology — work that is now visible to the broader San Antonio community through their public knowledge library at noon.bio/source — reflects an institutional posture aligned with public-benefit mission.
The Housing First Community Coalition looks forward to continued collaboration with Noon Systems Corporation on projects where ecological infrastructure, resident amenity, and measurable public benefit are core to the program.
