                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 2022

  Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Habitat for 
Humanity of Collin County as they celebrate 30 years of invaluable 
housing assistance and commitment to fostering safe and healthy 
communities in Texas' Third District.
  The Collin County affiliate of Habitat for Humanity was incorporated 
on August 26, 1992, with the goal of providing Collin County families 
in need with the opportunity to fulfill their dream of homeownership.
  Since its inception, Habitat for Humanity of Collin County has worked 
alongside 228 families to build safe and affordable homes and has 
successfully completed more than 2,142 repair projects. In addition to 
the organization's efforts to provide direct housing assistance, Collin 
County Habitat for Humanity has expanded its services through the 
opening of two ReStore locations which serve as discount home 
improvement and donation centers. These ReStores offer reusable and 
low-cost building materials to the public and use all profits earned to 
fund the construction of new homes.
  The support of the community coupled with the work of countless 
volunteers is what has enabled Habitat for Humanity of Collin County to 
successfully provide these vital housing services. Each day, this 
organization exemplifies what can be achieved when members of a 
community work together for the common good.
  Now as we recognize Habitat for Humanity of Collin County on this 
milestone occasion, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
to join me in honoring their thirty years of dedicated service to 
Collin County.
