Rock Hill – Habitat for Humanity of York County is set to host a home dedication ceremony for the Wilson-Smith family in celebration of the completion of their new home at 364 Soft Winds Village Drive. This event will take place on Sunday, June 8, at 3:00 PM and is open to the public.
The ceremony marks a significant milestone for the Wilson-Smith family as they take ownership of a home developed through Habitat’s innovative project called “ReStored: A Softwinds Village Recycle.” This initiative focuses on creating sustainable homeownership opportunities through the recycling of homes. The program allows previously constructed Habitat homes to be resold, providing new chances for families in need while emphasizing sustainability.
Tim Veeck, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of York County, has underscored the project’s significance as a representation of sustainable homeownership. The recycled homes initiative reflects Habitat’s commitment to creating long-term housing solutions that not only help families but also promote environmental responsibility.
The Wilson-Smith family, which consists of Scott Wilson-Smith and his parents, Deborah and Scott Smith, will benefit from this endeavor. Scott Wilson-Smith, a lifelong resident of Rock Hill, has spent 12 years in the fast-food industry as a manager at Taco Bell, where he has honed his leadership skills while pursuing additional education in massage therapy. His personal drive to secure a home through Habitat stems from his desire to provide a safe and accessible living environment for his father, who has faced health challenges following a stroke in 2012 that left him with paralysis and limited speech.
For Scott Wilson-Smith, this new home signifies stability and safety for his family. The dedication ceremony will include expressions of gratitude directed towards the volunteers and supporters who made this project possible, along with a ceremonial key presentation to the Wilson-Smith family. This communal celebration is designed to highlight the collaborative efforts that make affordable homeownership attainable in the Rock Hill area.
Members of the community are invited to attend this event and voice their support for initiatives that foster affordable housing and improve the local living conditions. It aims to underline the importance of community involvement in building homes and supporting families in need. The ceremony is also a reminder of the collective impact residents can have on promoting better living opportunities for all.
