H.R. No. 684 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Matt Lohmeier of the Corpus Christi Clergy Alliance | ||
and Jesse Elizondo of the Homeless Issues Partnership are working | ||
together to end chronic homelessness in Corpus Christi, and their | ||
efforts are truly worthy of recognition; and | ||
WHEREAS, According to the Homeless Issues Partnership, | ||
hundreds of people currently experience chronic homelessness in | ||
Corpus Christi; while many individuals can be helped through | ||
transitional housing initiatives, others, for a variety of reasons, | ||
are not well served by such programs; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Lohmeier and Mr. Elizondo advocate for an | ||
approach that benefits all those in need of help; they support the | ||
housing-first model, which seeks to rehouse homeless individuals as | ||
quickly as possible as a means of restoring their dignity and which | ||
only subsequently addresses behavioral issues and social | ||
reintegration; the two civic leaders are focused on ending | ||
homelessness in Corpus Christi by 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, Matt Lohmeier and Jesse Elizondo are committed to | ||
addressing a crisis that blights the lives of some of Corpus | ||
Christi's most vulnerable residents, and through their leadership | ||
in this effort, they are providing real hope to those who are | ||
directly affected and making an immeasurable contribution to the | ||
community at large; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Matt Lohmeier and Jesse Elizondo for their | ||
efforts to end chronic homelessness in Corpus Christi and extend to | ||
them sincere best wishes for success with their important work; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for Mr. Lohmeier and Mr. Elizondo as an expression of high regard | ||
by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
