Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 153 (Monday, September 28, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 153 (Monday, September 28, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E990] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING COMMUNITY LEADER ANDY NOGAL ON HIS RETIREMENT ______ HON. J. LUIS CORREA of california in the house of representatives Monday, September 28, 2026 Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Andy Nogal, Deputy Director for the Housing & Community Development Department of the City of Anaheim, on his retirement. For the past 24 years, Andy has served as a key member of the City of Anaheim's Housing & Community Development Department, holding responsibility for all aspects of for-sale and rental housing development projects. Andy has extensive experience with housing development financing, including State and Federal Tax Credits, bond financing, and other funding sources. He has a profound passion for affordable housing development and was part of a team that facilitated the development of over 2,879 affordable rental new construction, acquisition/rehabilitation, and for-sale housing units since 2005. Andy also has a strong interest in the built environment, ensuring that Anaheim's affordable housing development projects are designed in a manner that are respectful to neighborhood character, provide quality architectural and landscape design, stand the test of time, and serve as an asset to the community. In times of reduced financial and staff resources, Andy continues to seek and identify internal and external resources to assist in the development of affordable housing. Andy worked with Anaheim City Planners to implement substantial developer incentives/waivers as part of the City's Multifamily Affordable Housing Ordinance/Density Bonus Ordinance to incentivize the development of affordable housing. Andy also assisted in the creation of the City of Anaheim's Affordable Housing Strategic Plan--establishing a five-year goal for the creation of more than 2,812 rental new construction, rental rehabilitation and for-sale affordable housing units. To help achieve these goals, Andy assisted with the implementation of an expedited entitlement process for affordable housing development projects and the prioritization and allocation of City Department resources for affordable housing projects such as energy star rebates, fee deferrals, and fee waivers. Andy is a City Planner by trade and holds a Bachelor of Science in Urban and Regional Planning from Cal Poly Pomona University. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Andy Nogal on his retirement from the City of Anaheim. I thank Andy for his diligent work serving our communities here in Orange County. ____________________
