Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 48 (Thursday, March 13, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 48 (Thursday, March 13, 2025)] [Senate] [Page S1741] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE 60-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF COMMUNITY SERVICES AGENCY RENO Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Madam President, I come forward today to recognize the 60th anniversary of Community Services Agency Reno. Serving as a beacon of hope for Washoe County and surrounding rural communities, this nonprofit community action agency seeks to provide services to thousands of individuals across Nevada. From programs intended to support children and families, to programs for workforce development and assistance with utility costs, CSA Reno empowers individuals to become self-sufficient through the help of community partners and wraparound services. Founded in 1965, CSA Reno prides itself in tackling on-the-ground needs of everyday Nevadans in search of a helping hand. Using a solution-driven model and a strategic plan that is re-evaluated every 5 years, this agency is committed to ensuring they take a modern and tailored approach to serving each of their clients. With a common goal of advocating for their clients and setting meaningful benchmarks to achieve genuine results, CSA Reno above all seeks to impact lives today for a better community tomorrow. As the agency expanded its outreach and support services across the State, so came new programs to help uplift underserved communities. As one of Nevada's providers of Head Start and Early Head Start programming, CSA Reno helps fulfill a critical childcare need at no cost to low-income families, giving children the opportunity to grow and learn in a safe environment. Specifically designated for toddlers and children ages 0-5 living in poverty or struggling with a disability, CSA Reno is a vital resource to Nevada families. CSA Reno also provides programs targeted at affordable housing, workforce development, home weatherization services, and more--all in an effort to help those most in need overcome barriers. With a mission to drive positive change and a team of outstanding staff, CSA Reno helps equip Nevada families with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing environment. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing CSA Reno for their 60 years of dedication to Washoe County and the Northern Nevada community at-large. I am grateful to CSA Reno for their work to uplift and support our most vulnerable populations and know they will continue this impressive legacy over the next 60 years. ____________________
