        RECOGNIZING THE CITY OF BEAVERTON AND MAYOR LACEY BEATY

  (Ms. SALINAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SALINAS. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize the city of Beaverton 
and Mayor Lacey Beaty for being selected as 1 of 50 finalists in the 
2025 Bloomberg Mayors Challenge.
  Selected from over 630 global applicants, Beaverton's bold initiative 
reimagines housing through community-led, intergenerational models that 
put homeownership within reach for more Oregonians.
  Imagine a walkable neighborhood with vibrant shops, restaurants, and 
community-led events for all residents, a neighborhood that sets up 
families with the resources and support they need to own a home, a 
neighborhood where sustainability and accessibility are priorities.
  This is Beaverton's dream, and they are making it a reality. At a 
time when too many families are priced out, this idea addresses 
unnecessary barriers, high costs, zoning limits, and a lack of housing 
options through a new and innovative plan to create more starter 
housing.
  I congratulate Mayor Beaty and the entire city of Beaverton for this 
remarkable achievement and for showing the world what is possible.
