Recognizing Family Tree

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Family Tree for receiving the Arvada Chamber of Commerce's 2025 Nonprofit of the Year Award.

Family Tree drives lasting change in Arvada by tackling the interconnected challenges of child abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness. In 2025, they celebrated a groundbreaking development with the opening of Marshall Street Landing. This investment provides 85 fully furnished homes with on-site, 24/7 case management for individuals experiencing homelessness--establishing Arvada's first and only Permanent Supportive Housing community. Family Tree exemplifies the spirit of service and leadership by meeting people where they are and guiding them toward transformation, stability, and safety.

Every year, the Non-Profit of the Year Award honors one outstanding organization for their support of Arvada and its citizens through impactful programs, services, and overall involvement within the community. Family Tree's commitment to restoring lives, strengthening families, and providing a pathway to long-term stability makes them a truly deserving recipient of this award.

On behalf of the people of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, it is my honor to congratulate Family Tree for this award and thank them for their contributions to the community.
