                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for the designation ``Housing America Month'' and 
honoring the importance of affordable housing and community development 
  programs and resources that allow communities across the country to 
provide access to safe, secure housing for all Americans, regardless of 
                             income level.

Whereas for over 80 years it has been the policy of this Nation to promote the 
        general welfare of the Nation by employing its funds and credit to 
        assist States and localities to remedy housing conditions, and create 
        and preserve housing that is decent, safe, and sanitary under the United 
        States Housing Act of 1937;
Whereas the House of Representatives, which has, over a period of many years, 
        endeavored to address affordable housing and community development needs 
        and has been successful in doing so through related appropriations and 
        authorizing legislation has committed itself to meeting the affordable 
        housing and community development needs of the country; and
Whereas the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials has 
        celebrated October as Housing America Month for over a decade and has 
        honored the children living in subsidized housing through a calendar 
        featuring their artwork: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``Housing America Month'' and honors the importance of 
our Nation's housing and community development programs.
                                 <all>
