                         Monday, March 31, 2003

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
of Timothy T. Williams, a resident of my district who has worked 
tirelessly for Baltimore's homeless citizens.
  For the past 12 years, Mr. Williams has demonstrated outstanding 
service as Executive Director of the South Baltimore Homeless Shelter, 
where he led the development of a therapeutic community for homeless 
men with substance abuse problems, and skillfully managed comprehensive 
emergency services for homeless women and children. He has designed a 
community recovery model, through which graduates of the South 
Baltimore transitional shelter services provide counseling to homeless 
residents at South Baltimore Station and affiliated agencies, such as 
Carrington House.
  Mr. Williams will now expand his work in the continuum of care for 
Baltimore's homeless and addicted by joining Jobs, Housing and 
Recovery, Inc., where he will develop supportive housing facilities and 
vocational services as the next step to recovery for Baltimore 
residents transitioning out of homelessness.
  Mr. Williams received a bachelor's degree from Wheeling Jesuit 
University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School 
of Law. Mr. Williams also served as a VISTA' volunteer in Texas, where 
he provided legal aid services to the rural poor.
  I commend and thank Timothy Williams for his outstanding 
contributions to Baltimore and its citizens, and I wish him continued 
success in all future endeavors.
