                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing Habitat for Humanity International for its work in helping 
  families in the United States to realize the dream of homeownership.

Whereas Habitat for Humanity International helps to provide the means for people 
        to achieve the dream of homeownership;
Whereas in 2001, Habitat for Humanity International celebrates its 25th 
        anniversary;
Whereas in 2000, Habitat for Humanity International provided 86,000 people the 
        opportunity to own a home, making it the most productive year in the 
        organization's history;
Whereas Habitat for Humanity International should be commended for building more 
        than 100,000 homes in 76 countries and for giving more than half a 
        million people the opportunity to fulfill the dream of homeownership;
Whereas more than 2,000 affiliates and hundreds of thousands of volunteers 
        worldwide participate in ``builds'' sponsored by Habitat for Humanity 
        International; and
Whereas many Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, their 
        spouses, and their staffs have shown a strong commitment to Habitat for 
        Humanity International by personally participating in the building of 
        almost 500 homes as part of the Habitat for Humanity International 
        programs known as ``The Houses That Congress Build'' and ``The Houses 
        the Senate Built''; Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) honors and congratulates Habitat for Humanity 
        International for 25 years of service to the people of the 
        United States;
            (2) expresses its appreciation for the work done by Habitat 
        for Humanity International to help so many people in the United 
        States realize the dream of homeownership; and
            (3) expresses the hope that Habitat for Humanity 
        International will enjoy many more productive and successful 
        years.
