       HONORING THE CAREER AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF DALE ZUCHLEWSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 28, 2021

  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
career and accomplishments of the Executive Director of the Homeless 
Alliance of Western New York, Councilman Dale Zuchlewski, for the long-
lasting impact he's sure to have had on many lives.
  Graduating from SUNY Buffalo State College in 1977, Dale started his 
career as a legislative aide for the Buffalo Common Council, eventually 
becoming a compliance monitor for the City of Buffalo. During his 
tenure as a compliance monitor, Dale worked to ensure that applicable 
federal laws and policies were followed, that women and minority 
workers were hired and treated fairly, and much more.
  In 1991, he was elected to the Buffalo Common Council, serving four 
terms. During his time on the Council, he chaired the Community 
Development and Education Committees, and was instrumental in 
kickstarting the revitalization of Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. In 2000, 
Councilman Zuchlewski became a project manager for the City, working 
extensively with nonprofit organizations and the federal government to 
secure grants for helping the homeless and otherwise disadvantaged 
populations of Buffalo.
  In late 2010, Dale became the Executive Director for the Homeless 
Alliance of Western New York. I've had the pleasure of working with Mr. 
Zuchlewski extensively during my time in Congress and have thankfully 
been successful in directing federal funds towards the organizations 
dedicated towards alleviating homelessness in Western New York.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in thanking Mr. Dale 
Zuchlewski for his dedicated service towards those less fortunate, the 
Buffalo area, and the greater Western New York Community.
