En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It praises Nicholas House Inc., a nonprofit founded in 1982 by members of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, for its work helping families experiencing homelessness find stable housing and support. The resolution describes the organization's programs, including emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and housing stability assistance, and notes it houses about 250 people nightly. It also recognizes the organization's Dream Builders Event on April 23, 2026, a fundraising event meant to support its mission. The Senate directs its Secretary to send copies of the resolution to Nicholas House Inc. and the event's organizers.
