HR1952: HR1952 Center for Black Women's Wellness; commend

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Center for Black Women's Wellness, an Atlanta area nonprofit that began in 1988 as a program under the National Black Women's Health Project focused on self-help groups in public housing and building resilience among low-income women. The resolution notes the center became an independent nonprofit in 1996 and has since worked to support people's physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being. The House formally commends the organization for its contributions and wishes it continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the center. It does not create funding, programs, or legal requirements.
