                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 19, 2012

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Alvis 
House on its 45th anniversary of providing exceptional service to the 
Columbus community.
  Since 1967, Alvis House has displayed a genuine commitment to its 
motto, ``Reconnecting Families, Restoring Communities and Reinvesting 
in Ourselves.''
  From its programs that help individuals reenter the community after 
their involvement in the criminal justice system, to the assistance 
Alvis House provides to families affected by having relatives in jail 
or in prison, this facility has definitely proven its ability to have a 
positive impact on the community.
  Alvis House also provides a range of individualized habilitation and 
behavioral support services to those with developmental disabilities 
that works to help them engage in our communities. For that, I commend 
the facility.
  The work of Alvis House helps to brighten the future by unlocking 
each individual's potential and investing in the resources that attain 
results. Alvis House and its accomplishments benefit the communities in 
which we all live, and I look forward its continued tradition of 
excellence and service.
