Bill > SR16

This Senate Resolution honors President Jimmy Carter by recognizing his significant contributions to humanitarian causes, affordable housing, and social development, both during and after his presidency. The resolution specifically designates December 29 as President Jimmy Carter Day in California, celebrating his decades of public service, including his Nobel Peace Prize-winning efforts to promote democracy, human rights, and peaceful conflict resolution. The resolution highlights Carter's extensive work with Habitat for Humanity, where he and his wife Rosalynn have been instrumental volunteers, helping to build and renovate thousands of homes across 14 countries since 1984, with four notable projects in California. By recognizing Carter's commitment to affordable housing and community development, the resolution emphasizes how home ownership can foster stability, strengthen communities, improve educational outcomes, and address systemic inequities. The Senate takes pride in honoring Carter's legacy and his ongoing efforts to ensure affordable home ownership for families, and instructs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution.
