                       Wednesday, March 29, 2023

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 
Housing Development Consortium for their 35 years of service and 
affordable housing advocacy within King County.
  The Housing Development Consortium (HDC) is a nonprofit organization 
in King County that has supported countless housing organizations, 
businesses, and government organizations to meet the housing needs of 
people with diverse incomes. HDC is a nationally recognized leader in 
affordable housing advocacy, and their commitment to the Puget Sound 
region has made tremendous impacts. From fighting for increased funding 
for new low-income housing to maximizing opportunities for those living 
on a limited income, HDC continues to play an important role in 
affordable housing advocacy. Further, HDC pursues these goals through a 
lens of sustainability to reduce emissions and energy costs for 
residents. Their work makes our community a safer, better place for all 
who reside throughout the Puget Sound region.
  Mr. Speaker, I am deeply grateful for the Housing Development 
Consortium and their critical work, and I look forward to continuing to 
work with them to ensure that the residents of King County have access 
to safe and affordable housing.
