Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Foothills Regional Housing (FRH), who is celebrating their 50th anniversary of serving as the public housing authority for Jefferson County, Colorado.

First created in the fall of 1975, Foothills Regional Housing has worked to meet the growing housing needs of Jefferson County by preserving existing affordable housing units and developing new ones. In addition to supporting low-income renters by administering over 1,800 vouchers through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, FRH also supports low-income homeowners through their Emergency Home Repair Program.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Lori Rosendahl, FRH has built award-winning new developments like the Ives in Wheat Ridge and the AVi at Olde Town in Arvada, which have been recognized for their thoughtful design and emphasis on supporting residents. I look forward to seeing what the next 50 years will bring for FRH as they continue to provide critical housing resources for our community.

On behalf of the people of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, it is my honor to congratulate Foothills Regional Housing on their 50th anniversary and thank them for all they do for our community.
