                        IN HONOR OF MIKE CLAFLIN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 26, 2022

  Ms. KUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mike Claflin on 
the occasion of his retirement as Executive Director of Affordable 
Housing Education & Development Education (AHEAD).
  Mike has long been at the forefront of constructing affordable 
housing in New Hampshire's North Country. It has been an honor to work 
alongside Mike and his team to see so many impactful projects come to 
fruition, like the Friendship House and Lloyd's Hills Apartments in 
Bethlehem. Mike's leadership and advocacy have delivered more options 
for those suffering from substance abuse disorders as well as countless 
new housing opportunities for working families to a region that needs 
our steadfast support now more than ever before.
  I commend Mike on his retirement after nearly a decade with AHEAD and 
on his unwavering dedication and commitment to our North Country. On 
behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's Second Congressional 
District, I thank Mike for his many years of service, and for being a 
part of what makes the Granite State so great. I am honored to 
recognize and congratulate Mike on his retirement and wish him the best 
of luck in the years ahead.
