                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 8, 2017

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Fayette 
County Community Action Agency for 50 years of service to the 
communities of Fayette County in western Pennsylvania.
   The work of this agency has set an example for Community Action 
Agencies nationwide causing FCCAA to be recognized on numerous 
occasions for its community and economic work, as well as the quality 
of services which its employees provide. In addition to recognitions by 
the United States Department of Agriculture and the AARP foundation, 
just last year the Pennsylvania Housing and Finance Agency recognized 
FCCAA with its Lender Partnership Award.
   The agency's Board of Directors is composed of elected officials, 
business leaders and community representatives, and has built an agency 
which is an example for other communities. Their work touches thousands 
of people each year by providing services such as emergency food and 
shelter, housing development, services for older residents, education 
and support for first time mothers, and training and education 
programs. Fayette County Community Action Agency is fulfilling their 
mission of helping people and changing lives, and I am proud to have 
such a fine agency in my district. Fayette County is lucky to have an 
agency so committed to improving the livelihood of its citizens, and I 
am thankful for their dedication to this community.
