 HONORING TIERRA DEL SOL HOUSING CORPORATION ON THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______

                       Friday, November 17, 2023

  Mr. VASQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Tierra del Sol 
Housing Corporation and commemorate their 50th anniversary. Tierra del 
Sol has proudly been serving the needs of low-income families in my 
district since 1973 and has promoted economic and social empowerment 
through homeownership programs, employment training, and access to 
financial resources. Their work has helped ensure financial security 
for New Mexican families and build stable communities where all can 
thrive.
  Throughout their 50 years of service, Tierra del Sol has instituted 
various programs to assist rural New Mexicans. From rural farm rental 
housing to supportive housing for the elderly to major subdivision 
developments, Tierra del Sol Housing Corporation has tirelessly worked 
towards their mission.
  In recent years, Tierra del Sol has led the construction of single-
family housing under their self-help housing program. That recent 
construction has allowed community members access to affordable housing 
and energy-efficient living, putting New Mexico well on the road to 
becoming a leader in clean energy practices. As we look to the future, 
I am confident that Tierra del Sol will continue to find innovative 
ways to reach out to New Mexicans, while promoting the health of our 
State more broadly.
  On behalf of the great people of New Mexico's 2nd Congressional 
District, I thank Tierra del Sol for their service to the people of New 
Mexico and congratulate them on celebrating 50 years of service. Their 
work has made our community stronger, safer, and more prosperous, and I 
am excited to see what they accomplish for generations to come.
