                       HONORING FLORENCE KAWOCZKA

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Florence Kawoczka 
of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a leader and a friend, who has devoted 
her life to helping families build not just houses but lasting 
foundations.
  For more than 14 years as CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Bucks 
County, Florence has helped create stability and open doors to new 
possibilities for so many families in our region. She has touched their 
lives forever.
  Under her leadership, Habitat Bucks partnered with over 50 
homeowners, repaired more than 400 homes, and launched innovative 
programs that ensure lasting affordability for years to come.
  I have had the privilege of seeing those moments when a family steps 
into their home for the first time, not just receiving keys but 
beginning a new chapter.
  Mr. Speaker, as Florence retires, we thank her for her legacy that 
has truly strengthened our community.
  Congratulations to Florence. We wish her best wishes in this next 
chapter.
