                       Wednesday, October 8, 2025

  Mr. GOMEZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the 50th Anniversary of 
Alma Family Services located in the Boyle Heights community of East Los 
Angeles.
  Since 1975, Alma Family Services has been a steadfast advocate for 
families and individuals with special needs. Founded by parents in East 
Los Angeles with the mission of providing multilingual and culturally 
competent services to their communities, Alma Family Services has 
become a trusted service provider with 18 locations across Los Angeles 
County. Every year, the organization serves over 15,000 individuals 
with mental health services, substance abuse support, youth 
development, and many more resources.
  Over the last 50 years, Alma Family Services has expanded their 
services to provide multigenerational support for our neighbors of all 
ages. Through an extensive network of connections spanning across 
various levels of government, businesses, and fellow organizations, 
Alma Family Services strives to address the unique needs of seniors, 
parents, and students across LA County. The impact of their efforts can 
be felt in every corner of California's 34th Congressional District, 
where our neighborhoods are revitalized and uplifted through the 
organization's crucial resources.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Alma Family 
Services on their 50th Anniversary.
