Wilmington, North Carolina Ashley announced today that it has partnered with Eden Village to donate more than $30,000 in unused furniture and decor from HGTV® Smart Home 2022, located in Wilmington, North Carolina, to local homes. This donation will provide for the development of Eden Village for a 31-unit small home community for low-income and chronically homeless people, expected to be completed by November 2022. Ashley is the current sponsor of HGTV Smart Home 2022, providing all furniture for the home, available at local Ashley stores and across Internet at Ashley.com.
Eden Village began housing efforts in 2018 and successfully completed its first small home community in Springfield, Missouri, before expanding the project concept to Wilmington, North Carolina in 2020. Eden Village is a program that provides decent housing and supportive communities to the homeless, the disabled, and low-income people. These communities not only provide opportunities for permanent housing for these individuals, but also provide support services and community interaction events to ensure personal success and healthy living moving forward.
“The Village of Eden has been meticulously organized to ensure the success of every one of its residents, and when partners like Ashley come along and find solutions to keep costs low for tiny homes, we are a lot closer to success,” says Eden Village in Wilmington.
“Through this partnership with Eden Village, we believe this furniture donation will greatly improve the lives of the people who need it most while also building on the Wilmington community.” said Kelly Davis, Ashley’s director of marketing. “We are grateful for our partnership with an organization that aligns with our values so closely and are excited to assist Aden Village in its efforts to support these individuals in need.”

The residents of Aden Village were specifically chosen to ensure their own personal success as well as the success of the community and all of its residents. Each resident will be assigned roles and will be required to follow certain rules and regulations to keep them on track for a healthy and productive life.
