                     TRIBUTE TO MAUREEN BEAUREGARD

 Mrs. SHAHEEN. Mr. President, today I honor Families in 
Transition President and Founder Maureen Beauregard for her outstanding 
service to New Hampshire families over the last two decades.
  Twenty years ago, Maureen Beauregard made a commitment to help 
homeless and at-risk families find safe,

affordable housing. Thanks to Ms. Beauregard's leadership and vision, 
Families in Transition has grown from serving just a handful of 
families to supporting over 300 adults and children every night. Today 
Families in Transition provides essential services including substance 
abuse treatment, mental health counseling, childcare services, and is 
spread out over ten housing units, two retail outlets, and 53 
employees.
  A leader and role model to others in the non-profit field, it is no 
surprise that earlier this year Maureen Beauregard was honored for her 
hard work and dedication by New Hampshire Business Review as an 
Outstanding Woman in Business. Her accomplishments over the years have 
truly been remarkable, and she will continue to have a positive impact 
on countless at-risk families in New Hampshire.
  As we mark the 20th anniversary of Families in Transition, I would 
like to recognize Maureen Beauregard and thank her for all that she has 
done to make New Hampshire a better place to live and raise a 
family.
