         IN HONOR OF HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES OF NORTHERN DELAWARE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL N. CASTLE

                              of delaware

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 6, 2005

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to Housing Opportunities of Northern Delaware, Inc., an 
organization that has served on the front lines of the battle for 
fairness in housing. Through their advocacy for equal opportunities in 
the sale, rental, or leasing of housing, they have made invaluable 
contributions to my district. On April 4, 2005, Housing Opportunities 
of Northern Delaware will enjoy their 22nd Annual Proclamation 
Ceremony, marking their continued commitment to a housing environment 
devoid of discrimination.
  For 37 years, millions of Americans have achieved the dream of home 
ownership under the auspices of the Federal Housing Act. With April 
2005 designated as Fair Housing Month, I believe this recognition is 
especially appropriate, and ask that we continue to follow in the 
footsteps of this landmark legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, once again, I applaud the efforts of Housing 
Opportunities of Northern Delaware, Inc. and commend the cause which 
they hold so dear.

                          ____________________
