Whereas, in Greenville County, Homes of Hope, founded in 1998, is an exemplary primary contributor to community revitalization efforts and is thereby worthy of praise; and

Whereas, a member of the South Carolina Affordable Housing Coalition, the organization has built sixty-one housing units to date within House District 23; and

Whereas, in conjunction with the City of Greenville and other public and private partners, Homes of Hope will hold groundbreaking ceremonies on April 16, 2009, for its newest development, Kingsview Pointe, which will offer seven homes available for purchase and twenty rental units by the end of the summer; and

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those organizations that consistently promote the welfare of this great State's citizenry; and

Whereas, Homes of Hope stands among their number as an outstanding public benefactor, much admired for the selfless commitment of its staff to helping families and individuals attain their dreams of affordable housing and job training. The House extends its grateful thanks to this fine organization, as well as best wishes for much continued success, as Homes of Hope celebrates Community Development Week and the groundbreaking of its newest project at Kingsview Pointe. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
