                        Thursday, July 12, 2007

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Transitional 
Housing Incorporated for more than 20 years of dedicated service to the 
homeless women in the Cleveland area.
  Transitional Housing Incorporated was formed in 1986 by three nuns 
who had been working in Cleveland's homeless shelters. Today, it 
provides a variety of programs based on personal development plans 
reflecting each individual's need and unique potential for a better 
life.
  The committed employees of Transitional House Incorporated have 
reached out to more than 1,400 women in Cleveland, providing them with 
a safe environment and services such as education and training, in 
order to help them gain self-sufficiency and independence.
  Transitional Housing is a shining example of what a community can 
accomplish when we all offer a hand to help our fellow citizens in 
need. Their care and dedication is a testament to the ethic of 
solidarity that holds our community together.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honoring Transitional 
Housing Incorporated for their outstanding efforts to end the cycle of 
homelessness for many women in the Cleveland area, and for giving hope 
to those in need.

                          ____________________
