                      AUSTIN HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

  (Mr. WILLIAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize the selfless 
work that the Austin Habitat for Humanity is doing in the 25th District 
of Texas that I proudly represent.
  Over the past 30 years, they have built more than 425 homes, repaired 
another 280, and provided financial advice to over 10,000 Texans. Just 
last month, I had the opportunity to visit this organization and meet 
with the great folks who operate it. The work they do here is so 
important, and I was inspired by their spirits and selfless attitudes.
  Hearing about the remarkable work they do day in and day out was 
extraordinary. They put God's love into action by bringing people 
together to build homes and communities and to give hope to those who 
need it the most.
  Those who work and volunteer for Habitat for Humanity are superb 
people. They are compassionate and kind, and, frankly, we need more 
Americans just like them.
  Every single person deserves a decent and affordable place to live, 
and this organization is there to help those who are less fortunate. I 
encourage each and every person listening to get out there and do 
something for your local community. Together, we can really make this 
world a better place.
  With that being said, God bless Texas, God bless Habitat for 
Humanity, and God bless the United States of America.
  ``In God We Trust.''
