A RESOLUTION to recognize Kathy Stark on her twenty-fifth anniversary with Blount County Habitat for Humanity.

Impact

The resolution highlights several key initiatives spearheaded by Ms. Stark, including the establishment of the Critical Home Repair program and the acquisition of properties that have transitioned the organization into permanent facilities. These efforts have significantly enhanced the capacity of Blount County Habitat for Humanity to serve families in need and support community development goals, particularly in areas that require better housing solutions.

Summary

SJR0689 is a Senate Joint Resolution that seeks to honor and recognize Kathy Stark for her twenty-five years of service with Blount County Habitat for Humanity. This resolution emphasizes the significant contributions made by Ms. Stark, who has served as the Executive Director since June 2016. Over her tenure, she has improved the organization's impact on community housing and development, and has been instrumental in various projects that have provided affordable housing to numerous families in Blount County.

Contention
