HONORING FLORENCE KAWOCZKA

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 72 (Thursday, April 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 72 (Thursday, April 23, 2026)] [House] [Page H3080] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING FLORENCE KAWOCZKA (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Florence Kawoczka of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a leader and a friend, who has devoted her life to helping families build not just houses but lasting foundations. For more than 14 years as CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County, Florence has helped create stability and open doors to new possibilities for so many families in our region. She has touched their lives forever. Under her leadership, Habitat Bucks partnered with over 50 homeowners, repaired more than 400 homes, and launched innovative programs that ensure lasting affordability for years to come. I have had the privilege of seeing those moments when a family steps into their home for the first time, not just receiving keys but beginning a new chapter. Mr. Speaker, as Florence retires, we thank her for her legacy that has truly strengthened our community. Congratulations to Florence. We wish her best wishes in this next chapter. ____________________
