SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 24

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize Kingdom Come Community Development Corporation on the 
occasion of the ground-breaking ceremony on April 29, 2004, for 
the development of Kingdom Come Place in southeast Houston; and
	WHEREAS, Kingdom Come Community Development Corporation 
was founded in 1999; with the assistance of Local Initiatives 
Support Corporation and South Trust Bank, the corporation has 
purchased land for the development of Kingdom Come Place, a 
low-to-moderate-income residential housing project that will 
include a Kingdom Come Community Center; the center will provide 
an array of services and programs for youths and adults living in 
Kingdom Come Place and the surrounding community; and
	WHEREAS, The redevelopment of the southeast Houston area 
is vital to the community; area citizens have long suffered from 
a lack of economic security, poor social services, and a shortage 
of housing projects; and
	WHEREAS, The Kingdom Come Community Development Corporation 
and its supporters deserve recognition for initiating a development
project that will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the lives 
of numerous southeast Houston citizens; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
78th Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby commend members of 
the Kingdom Come Community Development Corporation for their 
work on behalf of the citizens of Houston and extend best wishes 
to all who are participating in the development of Kingdom Come 
Place; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as an 
expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
                                                                           Ellis
