SR173: SR173 The Plummer Home; recognize

It recognizes The Plummer Home, a faith-based nonprofit organization that offers residential living and assistance to veterans who have faced joblessness, homelessness, addiction, or incarceration. The resolution describes how the organization receives referrals from families, shelters, law enforcement, community groups, and the courts, and how it serves as a transition program for male veterans leaving the Muscogee County Jail. It states that the Senate commends the organization for its service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to The Plummer Home as a formal honor.
