  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 30th Anniversary of 
Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, Inc.
  Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, Inc. was founded with the goal of 
revitalizing Syracuse's Southwest neighborhood with long-term solutions 
for its residents to achieve adequate and affordable housing. For the 
last 30 years, Jubilee Homes, led by Executive Director Walter Dixie, 
has collaborated with community partners to construct over 100 
affordable new homes and expanded its efforts to include economic, 
youth, and workforce development in Southwest Syracuse. By creating a 
sense of community among the residents of Southwest Syracuse and 
through its initiatives increasing homeownership and expanding business 
development, Jubilee Homes has helped to stabilize the neighborhoods in 
Southwest Syracuse and improve the quality of life for countless 
residents.
  I am proud to recognize Jubilee Homes for celebrating its 30th 
anniversary. Jubilee Homes has become a staple for the Syracuse 
community and I wish this outstanding organization continued success in 
the years to come.
