HONORING PEOPLE INCORPORATED
(Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor People Incorporated, a leading nonprofit and human service agency in western New York.
This year, People Incorporated is celebrating its 50th year of service to western New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as families and older adults.
The agency was founded in 1970 by a small group of parents and professionals to better meet the needs of people with disabilities and their loved ones.
Since then, People Incorporated has grown and expanded its services. They currently serve over 10,000 individuals and families every single year.
People Incorporated provides access to housing and healthcare in a safe and welcoming environment. Their innovative services have helped thousands of people across western New York to live independently.
I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking People Incorporated for 50 years of compassionate community care.
