Rodrick and Yelena Scott, and their infant son, currently live in an apartment complex where drug activity is prevalent.  The unit itself has some issues with mold and mildew, which is an unhealthy environment for anyone, but particularly harmful to a developing baby.  

Rodrick works as a server at the Grove Park Inn and Yelena currently stays home due to the high cost of child care.  Rodrick, a native of Jamaica, and Yelena, who originally hails from the Ukraine, have both lived in the United States for many years.  They love living in Western North Carolina and are thrilled to have found a safe, decent and affordable house in Asheville in which to raise their son.  Rodrick did not have a stable home growing up, so he says he is committed to providing one for his family.

Rodrick and Yelena Scott are eager to live in the diverse Enka Hills neighborhood, and they look forward to watching their son grow up and play in a friendly neighborhood.
