          RECOGNIZING TINY HOUSE PROJECT FOR HOMELESS VETERANS

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. 
Cindy Kelley and the Chatham Savannah Authority for the Homeless for 
their work in the Tiny House Project for Homeless Veterans.
  In November 2019, phase one of the Tiny House Project was officially 
completed. In this part of the project, Chatham Savannah Authority for 
the Homeless provided 23 veterans, two spouses, and five pets with 
places to live. Phase two of the project began on December 1 and will 
house an additional 24 veterans.
  Unfortunately, veteran homelessness is one of the most persistent 
issues facing those who risked their lives to serve our country.
  I could not be more proud than to have a project like this one in the 
First Congressional District of Georgia with such an innovative 
solution to ensure our veterans are taken care of when they return 
home.
  Along with Ms. Kelley and the Chatham Savannah Authority for the 
Homeless, I would like to thank the other members of our community that 
were integral in this project, including the Home Depot Foundation, 
Chatham Foundation, Nine Line Foundation, Dustcom Limited, Hansen 
Architects, Thomas & Hutton, Better Life Properties, Joe Marchese 
Construction, Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church, Sydney 
Rangeley, Tom Taylor, and Henry and Suzanne Croci.
