                        INVESTING IN COMMUNITIES

  (Ms. BOURDEAUX asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BOURDEAUX. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the minibus 
appropriations bill the House passed earlier today.
  This legislation includes my bill to support the revitalization of 
vacant shopping malls like the Gwinnett Place Mall in my district. This 
provision would catalyze additional investment in these projects and 
enhance economic activity, access to housing, and mobility for local 
residents.
  The minibus also includes six of my community project funding 
requests, including funding for the acquisition of African-American 
books and historical artifacts at the Hooper-Renwick Memorial Library, 
as well as projects to increase wraparound services for Latino families 
and youth through Ser Familia, provide transportation to low-income 
students through Corners Outreach, and enhance access to transit and 
clean drinking water for many communities in Georgia's Seventh 
District.
  Altogether, the T-HUD bill and the minibus include important 
investments that will make our communities stronger.
