Mr. Speaker, this is a picture of 3-year-old Jose Urribarri, who is a member of a migrant family in Chicago. Freezing weather is just one of the challenges facing families like Jose's as stable housing options disappear in the dead of winter. Catholic Charities of Chicago is one of our local agencies leading the way and moving families from police station floors into better accommodations, but Catholic Charities cannot do it alone. Scarce local resources mean that Congress needs to step up, as well. Let's pass emergency supplemental funding for cities and bring some hope to those like Jose who need it badly right now. ____________________
