The bill, H. 4526, is a House Resolution honoring Pamela D. Scott for her extensive career with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as she prepares for retirement. Over her four-decade journey, Pamela has demonstrated exceptional dedication and commitment, beginning her career in the U.S. Army and transitioning to HUD in 1982. Throughout her tenure, she has held various significant roles, including working in the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Division, the Architectural, Engineering, and Cost Branch, and the Mortgage Credit Branch, where she played a crucial role in facilitating homeownership for many South Carolinians. Notably, she became the first African American federal HUD staff appraiser in South Carolina, showcasing her leadership and expertise in the field.

The resolution acknowledges Pamela's contributions to housing fairness and opportunity, her adaptability during organizational changes, and her pivotal role in the establishment of the Office of Housing Counseling following the Dodd-Frank Act. As she retires, the South Carolina House of Representatives expresses its gratitude for her impactful career and extends best wishes for her future endeavors. A copy of the resolution will be presented to Pamela D. Scott as a token of appreciation for her service.
