HONORING AMIE FRALEY'S DEDICATED SERVICE TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E45] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING AMIE FRALEY'S DEDICATED SERVICE TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ______ HON. RICHARD HUDSON of north carolina in the house of representatives Thursday, January 15, 2026 Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Amie Fraley for her dedicated service to Habitat for Humanity of the North Carolina (NC) Sandhills, and to congratulate her on her new role with Habitat for Humanity International. After nearly sixteen years as executive director of Habitat for Humanity of the NC Sandhills, Amie announced she would be transitioning to a new role with Habitat for Humanity International, as an organizational development consultant. Throughout her many years of service, Amie played an immeasurable role in the growth of the nonprofit. Under her leadership, Habitat for Humanity increased its homebuilding pace from 10 to almost 13 houses per year. In addition, the nonprofit increased its focus on its Aging in Place repair program, providing more repairs for the disabled and over 55 populations in the region. Her efforts and collaboration significantly contributed to the growing influence of Habitat for Humanity across the state of North Carolina, acquiring a 103-acre property in Aberdeen to create a community called Sandhills Station, made possible by a $3 million dollar grant. I am honored to represent Amie, who has worked so diligently to improve our district and the state of North Carolina. It is my honor to take this opportunity to recognize Ms. Amie Fraley for her incredible service to Habitat for Humanity. I wish her all the best in her new role and hope she continues doing what she loves while also helping our community and country. Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring Ms. Amie Fraley for her nearly 16 years of dedicated service to Habitat for Humanity and the continued impact she will have in her new role with Habitat for Humanity International. ____________________
