                         Friday, August 8, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize The Ives in 
Wheat Ridge, Colorado, for receiving an Eagle Award from Housing 
Colorado.
  The Ives is an affordable housing development owned by Foothills 
Regional Housing Authority, dedicated to prioritizing the needs of its 
residents. This complex offers reduced rent prices for its tenants 
while also providing easy access to quality-of-life amenities such as 
their community garden, BBQ area, and many nearby food choices and 
transportation options. The Ives has added 50 units of affordable 
housing to Jefferson County since its opening in June 2024, and their 
peers in the affordable housing industry recognized the community 
development team with Housing Colorado's Eagle Award.
  At a time when housing costs continue to rise, The Ives keeps housing 
prices down in Wheat Ridge without compromising on quality. We are 
grateful for the community development team at Foothills Regional 
Housing for making this a reality for families in Jefferson County.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to thank The Ives for its service to the Jefferson 
County community.
