SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

Community Building Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
        (1) Senator Paul Wellstone was a tireless advocate for the 
    people of Minnesota, particularly for new immigrants and the 
    economically disadvantaged.
        (2) Paul and Sheila Wellstone loved St. Paul, Minnesota, and 
    often walked the neighborhoods of St. Paul to better understand the 
    needs of the people.
        (3) Neighborhood House was founded in the late 1800's in St. 
    Paul, Minnesota, by the women of Mount Zion Temple as a settlement 
    house to help newly arrived Eastern European Jewish immigrants 
    establish a new life and thrive in their new community.
        (4) Paul and Sheila Wellstone were very committed to 
    Neighborhood House and its mission to improve the lives of its 
    residents.
        (5) When Senator Wellstone became aware that the Neighborhood 
    House Community Center was no longer adequate to meet the needs of 
    the St. Paul community, he suggested that Neighborhood House 
    request Federal funding to construct a new facility.
        (6) As an honor to Paul and Sheila Wellstone, a Federal grant 
    shall be awarded to Neighborhood House to be used for the design 
    and construction of a new community center in St. Paul, Minnesota, 
    to be known as ``The Paul and Sheila Wellstone Center for Community 
    Building''.
