  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, the Neighborhood Association for 
Inter-Cultural Affairs, Inc. (NAICA), founded in 1974, has provided 
fifty years of determined service and dedication to the residents of 
New York City, and specifically to the Bronx, through its tireless 
efforts to support vulnerable individuals and families.
  NAICA has been a beacon of hope and strength in the community, 
offering a wide range of essential services, including transitional 
housing, supportive services, eviction prevention, legal assistance, 
and affordable housing to countless individuals in need.
  NAICA's steadfast commitment to social justice and housing equity has 
helped transform lives, creating pathways for stability, security, and 
prosperity for the most underserved populations in our city and the 
50th Anniversary of NAICA marks not only a milestone of longevity but a 
celebration of its impactful work in improving housing access and 
preserving the dignity of all residents.
