                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 8, 2018

  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 25th anniversary 
of Shiloh Manor, a senior housing complex located in the South Side 
neighborhood of Easton, Pennsylvania. The vision of Shiloh Manor began 
in the mind of the late Pastor Fred Davis of the Shiloh Baptist Church. 
In 1987, while attending a world conference in Japan, Pastor Davis met 
a former associate and a Philadelphia realtor who specialized in 
building complexes for senior citizens. With their renewed fellowship, 
Pastor Davis and Mr. Hatton developed a strategy to apply for a HUD 
sponsored loan to build a senior citizen's home. On their third 
application attempt in 1992, the application was approved for $3.7 
million dollars. Since the completion of Shiloh Manor in July 1993, the 
Greater Shiloh Church congregation, now led by Senior Pastor Phillip 
Davis, as well as the Board of Directors and the larger community 
rejoice in the Manor's 58 units, which provide affordable housing for 
senior citizens of diverse backgrounds.
  The story of Shiloh Manor exemplifies how a group of inspired 
individuals can create meaningful change in their community. I commend 
the late Pastor Davis and those who carry on his vision for a strong, 
inclusive community. I wish them well as they celebrate this milestone 
anniversary through fellowship and worship.
