  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
contributions that Charles A. ``Charlie'' Rogers has made through his 
work with Habitat Tampa Bay Gulfside. Charlie Rogers has been on 
Habitat's Board of Directors since July 2022. A lifelong advocate for 
education and health, Charlie has brought that experience and passion 
to Habitat as we continue to find solutions for affordable 
homeownership in Pinellas and West Pasco Counties. Charlie is a key 
member of Habitat's work to build more affordable homeownership 
opportunities in West Pasco and Hernando Counties. He has assisted in 
organizing special build days with local elected officials and 
continues to make vital community connections to grow the affiliate's 
presence. Charlie has continued to build relationships with local 
government members and stresses the need for private and public 
partnerships. As Habitat's footprint continues to grow throughout its 
service area, Charlie Rogers will keep pushing the mission and the 
vision that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
  It is clear Charles A. ``Charlie'' Rogers has made a profoundly 
positive impact on our cpmmunity, and I am grateful for his service. 
May we all strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and 
humility.
