 RECOGNIZING THE 60-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY RENO

 Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Madam President, I come forward today to 
recognize the 60th anniversary of Community Services Agency Reno. 
Serving as a beacon of hope for Washoe County and surrounding rural 
communities, this nonprofit community action agency seeks to provide 
services to thousands of individuals across Nevada. From programs 
intended to support children and families, to programs for workforce 
development and assistance with utility costs, CSA Reno empowers 
individuals to become self-sufficient through the help of community 
partners and wraparound services.
  Founded in 1965, CSA Reno prides itself in tackling on-the-ground 
needs of everyday Nevadans in search of a helping hand. Using a 
solution-driven model and a strategic plan that is re-evaluated every 5 
years, this agency is committed to ensuring they take a modern and 
tailored approach to serving each of their clients. With a common goal 
of advocating for their clients and setting meaningful benchmarks to 
achieve genuine results, CSA Reno above all seeks to impact lives today 
for a better community tomorrow.
  As the agency expanded its outreach and support services across the 
State, so came new programs to help uplift underserved communities. As 
one of Nevada's providers of Head Start and Early Head Start 
programming, CSA Reno helps fulfill a critical childcare need at no 
cost to low-income families, giving children the opportunity to grow 
and learn in a safe environment. Specifically designated for toddlers 
and children ages 0-5 living in poverty or struggling with a 
disability, CSA Reno is a vital resource to Nevada families. CSA Reno 
also provides programs targeted at affordable housing, workforce 
development, home weatherization services, and more--all in an effort 
to help those most in need overcome barriers. With a mission to drive 
positive change and a team of outstanding staff, CSA Reno helps equip 
Nevada families with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing 
environment.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing CSA Reno for their 60 
years of dedication to Washoe County and the Northern Nevada community 
at-large. I am grateful to CSA Reno for their work to uplift and 
support our most vulnerable populations and know they will continue 
this impressive legacy over the next 60 years.
