                         Monday, April 13, 2015

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize PADS of Lake County 
for the exceptional work they do providing emergency shelter to 
families and individuals experiencing homelessness.
  Providing advocacy, dignity and shelter, PADS Lake County works to 
combat homelessness with compassion and respect. PADS strives to end 
homelessness by helping clients commit to their own health and recovery 
and assisting them in gaining self-sufficiency through affordable 
housing.
  PADS is the first point of contact when homelessness strikes and 
often the only hope for individuals, families and veterans facing a 
long night in the cold or extreme heat. In this way, PADS truly does 
save lives.
  In short, PADS services provide a safe environment for people to get 
back on their feet, and the Tenth District is fortunate to have an 
organization like PADS providing critical services to our individuals 
and families most in need.
