SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 354
         WHEREAS, Community Action Agencies of Texas have long
  provided essential services to address and alleviate the causes
  and conditions of poverty for the state's most vulnerable
  residents; and
         WHEREAS, Established when the Economic Opportunity Act of
  1964 was signed into law, Community Action Agencies have a nearly
  six-decade history of promoting self-sufficiency for citizens of
  limited income in all Texas counties; each agency assures wide
  community involvement through governance by a tripartite board
  representative of major sectors, among them government,
  business, labor, religion, law enforcement, education, and
  low-income residents; and
         WHEREAS, Community Action Agencies work to strengthen
  communities in times of natural and human disasters,
  extraordinary economic challenges, and exceptional health
  crises; they follow immediate response with long-term services
  to promote recovery; while creating access to safe and affordable
  housing, they also reduce expenses through energy efficiency and
  utility payment programs; they provide nutrition assistance as
  well as primary and preventive health care; in addition, their
  initiatives promote academic success and the development of
  workforce skills; and
         WHEREAS, By offering impactful solutions to help families
  achieve financial stability, Community Action Agencies are
  changing lives and making the Lone Star State a more prosperous,
  vibrant, and dynamic place for all; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby commend the Community Action Agencies of
  Texas for their contributions and extend to them sincere best
  wishes for continued success in their important work; and, be
  it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for the Texas Association of Community Action Agencies
  as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
