The resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Pursuit Center in Houston, which was founded in 1950 by parents aiming to enhance the quality of life for their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Over the decades, the nonprofit has provided essential services that empower individuals with special needs to achieve independence and become active members of their communities. The center adopts a holistic approach, offering health and wellness services, personalized career planning and job training through its PursuitJOBS program, and various housing options. Additionally, it provides recreational and educational programs to help participants develop life skills and explore their interests.
The Texas House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for the Pursuit Center's significant contributions over the past 75 years and extends best wishes for the organization's continued success. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard for the center and its mission.
