"We know that too many people with criminal records are denied access to housing, and we know all that does is create a bigger problem."

"Preservation is one of the main paths that we have to take to be able to create enough housing in this country."

"I really do honestly want to work with the members of this committee."

"I think it is a great story, and I can't thank the committee enough for the resources that you have given us to make that kind of an impact."
