Home, Inc. honors two

Local residents Tom Osborne and Kingsley Perry were jointly awarded the annual Tony Bent Affordable Housing Award this weekend at a Yellow Springs Home, Inc. fundraiser, where the two were met with a standing ovation from the crowd. The pair met and formed a lasting friendship while designing and installing electric systems for several Home, Inc. projects over the years. According to Kingsley, “it’s been fun working with Tom” and both believe strongly in the cause to strengthen community and diversity in Yellow Springs through affordable housing. Together, Tom and Kingsley have donated thousands of hours doing everything and anything that is needed, from hauling donated appliances to installing vinyl flooring. According to Home, Inc. director Emily Seibel, “Tom and Kingsley represent the very best of what our community has to offer .”
