The resolution proclaims April 2025 as "Community Development Month" in the State of Rhode Island. It recognizes the significant contributions of the Housing Network of Rhode Island (HNRI) and its member organizations, which include Community Development Corporations and nonprofit developers. These organizations play a crucial role in enhancing housing development and promoting equitable economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents across the state. Their efforts extend beyond housing to support community initiatives such as child care facilities, commercial spaces, community gardens, job training, and small business funding.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of celebrating the work of these organizations, which contribute to the overall viability of Rhode Island's housing stock, infrastructure, and public services. It expresses gratitude for their dedication to improving the economic well-being of the state and directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to the Executive Director of HNRI, Ms. Melina Lodge.
