IN HONOR OF MAGILL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FOR THEIR WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTION 
                            TO THE COMMUNITY

                                 ______


                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 10, 1996

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Magill 
Property Management for their wonderful contribution to the community. 
They will be holding a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday May 13, 1996, 
to unveil 11-unit affordable housing complex at 800 East Jersey Street 
in Elizabeth, NY.
  In 1987, Magill Property Management began work on its first property. 
Through the years, the business grew and flourished into a well 
respected enterprise. Magill Property Management is a certified 
minority business that strives to help the community. Angel Magill 
combines a strong sense of community with a shrewed business sense. 
When Mr. Magill undertakes an enterprise the whole community profits, 
not just himself.

  Magill Property Management is marking a great achievement. Angel 
Magill built this affordable housing project on the ashes of a 
dilapidated old building. He was aided in his efforts by the Elizabeth 
Home Improvement Program, which secured the funding from various 
sources including the Home Investment Partnership Program [HOME] and 
the low income housing tax credits [LIHTC].
  Affordable housing units are more than bricks and mortar. They are a 
place where dreams come true for low income families, where people can 
rebuild their lives, and where they can take steps to build a 
financially secure future. Mr. Magill and his firm make these dreams 
turn into reality.
  Magill Property Management has done its part for the community. I ask 
my colleagues to join me in honoring Magill Property Management for 
their efforts to provide comfortable and affordable housing for low-
income families.
