Bill > H6192

This resolution proclaims April 2025 as "Community Development Month" in Rhode Island, recognizing the significant work of the Housing Network of Rhode Island (HNRI) and its member organizations. The resolution highlights the vital role of these community development corporations and nonprofit developers in expanding housing and economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. HNRI members are credited with producing affordable housing, supporting community facilities, providing job training, offering homebuyer education, foreclosure counseling, small business micro-loans, and engaging in various community-centered initiatives across the state. The Rhode Island House of Representatives officially acknowledges these organizations' contributions to the state's housing stock, infrastructure, public services, and economic well-being, and directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Melina Lodge, the Executive Director of the Housing Network of Rhode Island.
