Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution formally commends Stonecrest City Councilwoman Alecia Washington for her public service and community work in DeKalb County. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Councilwoman Alecia Washington of Stonecrest for her years of community service, including her work through her nonprofit organization, City of Hope Safe Haven, which the resolution says has provided food, clothing, housing help, and other resources to more than 10,000 residents. The resolution also notes her partnerships with groups such as the Department of Homeland Security's Community Emergency Response Team and several local and national organizations. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to Washington as a formal token of recognition. It does not create programs, spend money, or alter any Georgia statute. ### What it does - Formally commends Alecia Washington for her public service as a Stonecrest councilwoman and community leader. - Recognizes her nonprofit, City of Hope Safe Haven, for providing food, clothing, housing, and resource programs to over 10,000 residents. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and send a copy of the resolution to Washington. - Creates no new law, funding, or ongoing program; it is a one time honorary statement by the House. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names Councilwoman Alecia Washington of Stonecrest. It also references her nonprofit organization, City of Hope Safe Haven, and several partner organizations, but it imposes no obligations or effects on the general public. ### Why it matters This resolution has no legal or financial effect on Georgians statewide. Its practical significance is symbolic: it gives official, public recognition from the Georgia House of Representatives to a local official's community service work in Stonecrest. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses describe Washington's community work in Stonecrest, including outreach, mentoring, food and clothing distribution, and housing initiatives. - The resolved clause formally commends Washington for her public service on behalf of the Georgia House of Representatives. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to provide a copy of the resolution to Washington for distribution. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-02-03) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-02-03) - Sponsors: Angela Moore, Doreen Carter, Dar'shun Kendrick, Viola Davis - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/72803 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1211.md?full=1
