             CONGRATULATING NEW JOURNEYS TRANSITIONAL HOME

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. I would like to recognize an outstanding south 
Florida organization, New Journeys Transitional Home. This home is 
committed to decreasing the rate of homelessness among young women in 
south Florida. It provides an immediate, safe, affordable, and 
nurturing housing environment that promotes independence and self-
sufficiency.
  New Journeys Transitional Home serves those who have a desire to 
achieve educational and employment goals, as well as those with a 
motivation to progress through the program. This wonderful organization 
provides young women with workshops to help strengthen their 
educational and employment goals, their interviewing skills, and 
improve their self-esteem.
  Due to its generosity and dedication, New Journeys Transitional Home 
has helped so many young women in my community in south Florida. I 
would like to commend all the individuals involved in the organization. 
Through their service and support, they help our community and they 
help so many young women in our Nation.
  Thank you for your devotion; thank you for your commitment to 
improving the lives of south Floridians in need.
