Letter of recommendation for housing??

Question

I need to write a letter of recommendation for my sister in law; she needs one to apply for low-income housing. I have a serious case of writer's block and need tips on how to start the letter off, or what things I should include. Help!

Hopefully this will give you some ideas. They mainly just want to know that she's a good, honest, reliable person, but she's hit hard times and needs help. Good luck.
