| 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. | ||
