Recognizing Tiny House Project for Homeless Veterans

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Cindy Kelley and the Chatham Savannah Authority for the Homeless for their work in the Tiny House Project for Homeless Veterans.

In November 2019, phase one of the Tiny House Project was officially completed. In this part of the project, Chatham Savannah Authority for the Homeless provided 23 veterans, two spouses, and five pets with places to live. Phase two of the project began on December 1 and will house an additional 24 veterans.

Unfortunately, veteran homelessness is one of the most persistent issues facing those who risked their lives to serve our country.

I could not be more proud than to have a project like this one in the First Congressional District of Georgia with such an innovative solution to ensure our veterans are taken care of when they return home.

Along with Ms. Kelley and the Chatham Savannah Authority for the Homeless, I would like to thank the other members of our community that were integral in this project, including the Home Depot Foundation, Chatham Foundation, Nine Line Foundation, Dustcom Limited, Hansen Architects, Thomas & Hutton, Better Life Properties, Joe Marchese Construction, Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church, Sydney Rangeley, Tom Taylor, and Henry and Suzanne Croci.
