Rep. Williams Recognizes Austin Habitat for Humanity on House Floor

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) took to the House floor Monday evening to recognize the charitable work of the Austin Habitat for Humanity.

Williams' remarks are below:

"Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize the selfless work that the Austin Habitat for Humanity is doing in the 25th District of Texas that I proudly represent.

"Over the past 30 years, they have built more than 425 homes, repaired another 280, and provided financial advice to over 10,000 Texans.

"Just last month, I had the opportunity to visit this organization and meet with the great folks who operate it. The work they do here is so important and I was inspired by their spirits and selfless attitudes.

"Hearing about the remarkable work they do day in and day out was extraordinary. They put God's love into action by bringing people together to build homes, communities, and to give hope to those who need it the most.

"Those who work and volunteer for Habitat for Humanity are really special people. They are compassionate and kind and frankly, we need more Americans like them.

"Every single person deserves a decent and affordable place to live, and this organization is there to help those who are less fortunate.

"I encourage each and every person listening to get out there and do something for your local community. Together, we really can make this world a better place.

"With that being said, God bless Texas, God bless Habitat for Humanity, and God bless the United States of America.

"In God we trust, I yield back."
