3san Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity | Annual Report • Fiscal Year 2011

to the san Gabriel Valley Habitat Family,

What an eventful year 2011 was for our affiliate!First, with a grant of $50,000 from temple city to celebrate their 50th year anniversary, we were able to kick off a new Brush With Kindness program which provides critical and minor home repairs to low-income homeowners. to date, we are on track to complete ten Brush With Kindness projects this year, and we expect this program to greatly increase our reach into the 31 communities in our service area.

in March, we completed the Geneva fundraising campaign and broke ground. We are proceeding well in construction and will finish the Geneva Homes in early 2012. We received 62 applications for the five homes in the Geneva project—there is no question how great the need for affordable housing is in our community! This will be our affiliate’s first green build.

Through the advocacy of one of our Board members, chase Bank donated a small apartment complex in pasadena to sGV Habitat for Humanity. We are in the process of renovating this complex and then plan to sell it to raise money for our next build. This was truly a godsend, and will get us off to a great start in funding our next major build.

We grossed over $1 million in sales for the first time from our two Restores. our goal has been, and continues to be, that every donor dollar goes straight to our construction projects, and Restore revenues are the prime strategy for achieving this goal. We are about to lose our pasadena Restore lease as the area is being redeveloped. if you know of any good leads for a new Restore location in pasadena, please let us know.

We continue to make progress on Desiderio—our next building project in pasadena if we get the necessary approvals. The Army Reserve center is now closed, and HuD has authorized the Reuse plan submitted by the city of pasadena. We need HuD to approve a full public Benefit conveyance of the land in order to move forward with the Desiderio campaign.

We launched an extensive strategic planning process in May, working with npo solutions, a management consulting firm specializing in non-profit organizations. A strategic task force consisting of board members, affiliate staff and community members will convene in FY 2012 to help us refine our mission and define key strategic priorities for the next three years.

For the fourth consecutive year, our affiliate has been awarded a four-star rating by charity navigator for sound financial management. We are in the top 8% of all non-profits rated by charity navigator.

Throughout it all, we could not do what we do without the dedication and hard work of all our Board members, our volunteer base and our dedicated staff.

A special thank you goes out to the Xerox corporation for granting a year of social service leave to board member paul McAnnally-linz to work full time with our construction team for a year. i can’t tell you what a blessing that has been for our affiliate. We are seeing great growth in our youth involvement, which has been a focus this year. And on site, our Director of construction Damien Allen, in addition to planning and execution at the Geneva build site, has led several truly great work days with new corporate sponsors like nestlé and Avery Dennison.

Habitat for Humanity brings people together from all walks of life. it is a transforming experience for the volunteers and for the families who purchase our homes. There is such a need for affordable housing in our community! Won’t you join us to help deserving low-income families get a “hand up, not a hand out!”

With Best Regards,

Don Goodman

on February 14, 2011, sGV Habitat’s Board of Directors approved the five families who will become Geneva home buyers.

With a donation of $100,000 from the Weingart Foundation in March 2011 the Geneva campaign reached the $600,000 fundraising goal for this development.

Ground was ceremonially broken for the five new homes on March 5th and Building permits were issued on March 29th.

site grading commenced in April and was followed in May by actual start of construction for the Geneva Homes.


Meet Damien Allen Director of construction

Damien Allen joined the staff at sGV Habitat for Humanity in 2009 following construction management experience at HFH-charleston, south carolina and in the private sector. He brings knowledge of the building industry and project management, and is also committed to the use of Habitat volunteers in order to touch more lives through affordable homeownership. sGV Habitat for Humanity is a licensed california contractor and Damien, who holds a california contractor’s license,

is the organization’s Responsible Managing employee (RMe).

in addition to ensuring that all construction completed by the affiliate meets code requirements and passes inspections, Damien is responsible for site safety and trains and manages skilled and unskilled volunteers as well as the affiliate’s crew leaders and Americorps Direct workers.


Construction workers installing solar panels on a home as a part of the “Build It Green” commitment.

Building “green” is a whole-systems approach to designing, constructing, operating and maintaining buildings. san Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity is partnering with the Build it Green program and the Greenpoint Rating system. A Greenpoint Rated home must earn a minimum point requirement in each of the five environmental categories, and the points must be verified by a third-party independent Greenpoint Rater.

Build it Green

Greenpoint Raters are independent professionals who are trained and certified by Build it Green. The rating process is a non-invasive physical examination of building systems, structures, materials and components to assess energy and water efficiency, indoor air quality, resource efficiency of materials and construction methods, and construction quality. The rater will generally engage in at least four of the five following activities during the course of project design and construction: plan check, rough inspection, final inspection, documentation review, and performance testing.

to accurately assess the true greenness of a product, consideration must be given not only to particular environmental and health impacts of a product from

its manufacturing, use, and disposal phases, but also to how the product is utilized within the larger system. some common materials include: High-efficacy lighting, energystar® appliances, Fsc-certified lumber, insulation with 75% recycled content, water efficient fixtures, solar electric panels, solar water heaters, and low- or zero-emitting interior paints, varnishes, cabinetry and carpeting.

on the Geneva Build, construction waste is recycled and the building envelope, foundation, and plumbing are surveyed and corrected for combustion safety and carbon monoxide energy efficiency and low-emissions products.


Millard Fuller, the founder of Habitat for Humanity, often inspired volunteers by sharing the importance of bringing people together, despite their differences, for the common goal of providing decent, affordable shelter. This is manifested in the san Gabriel Valley, as construction professionals and construction novices, businessmen and students, affluent and unemployed, young and old work side-by-side at build sites and behind-the-scenes to serve the local community.

Volunteers from All Walks of life

our VolunteersAmandaAmanda works for a major construction company and became involved with sGV Habitat for Humanity through her colleagues. Thanks to her experience in the field and her enthusiasm for Habitat for Humanity, she quickly became a valuable volunteer at the Geneva Build. she organizes teams from her company on a regular basis and serves as a crew leader on site, leading less-skilled volunteers in their tasks.

MatthewMatthew recently moved to california and joined sGV Habitat as an individual volunteer who wanted to invest in his new community. Though he did not have any background in construction, he was ready and willing to learn. While Matthew looked for work in the entertainment business, he regularly helped at Brush with Kindness sites and developed new skills as well as new friends.


BillBill has been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity for over 20 years. Retired, he now spends weekdays and occasional saturdays helping at sGV Habitat’s build sites and is known for his sense of humor and for teaching building basics to newcomers. Through his involvement, Bill has developed decade-long friendships with fellow retirees who are construction “regulars” as well as new friendships with the first-time volunteers he leads on site.

JulieJulie began volunteering with sGV Habitat as a team leader for her company’s corporate Build Day. Volunteering for Habitat for Humanity had been on her “bucket list” for some time, so Julie was thrilled when she finally had the opportunity to volunteer at the Geneva Build, “it was such an awesome feeling to make a positive difference in someone’s life. i’m hooked and plan to get more involved on many different levels--wherever i can help this great organization of Habitat for Humanity to continue to help others improve their lives.”

Greg (Habitat homeowner)Greg began his involvement with sGV Habitat as a homebuyer at the pacific Build. in the years since moving in, Greg and his family have deepened their commitments--they serve as Family partners mentoring new homebuyers; they volunteer at construction sites; and they have passed their passion for serving others on to their children. Their eldest son, nick, is now a sGV Habitat Board member.

izabella (Geneva homebuyer)izabella will soon be a resident of one of the five new Geneva homes in Glendale. she, her husband and their children were selected in early 2011 for homeownership with sGV Habitat. izabella and her family have become site regulars and have learned hands-on building techniques while helping build their home and those of their future Habitat neighbors. izabella has architectural training and experience and has put that to use, both at Geneva and by providing insight into design work at the elmira property rehabilitation project in pasadena. Although her family’s required 500 hours of sweat equity have been completed, izabella remains committed to the Geneva build and continues to put in time at the site and encourages her friends and extended family to continue to support the amazing work of Habitat for Humanity.

These are just a few examples of the unique individuals who contribute to sGV Habitat’s mission to build, renovate and repair affordable housing. Working side-by-side, these people bring together their varied experience levels, histories and hearts to embody the spirit of Habitat for Humanity—not just building homes, but also building community and inspiring hope.

In October 2010, SGV Habitat for Humanity launched an exterior home repair program, furthering the affiliate’s investment in home and community rehabilitation. A Brush With Kindness is a nationwide Habitat for Humanity program that provides existing low-income homeowners, most of whom are elderly, with critical exterior repairs to improve the soundness, safety and appearance of their homes. With continuously rising costs of living, home maintenance is often pushed aside while day-to-day expenses such as food, gas and utilities take precedence. Years of neglect can cause home deterioration and emergence of unsafe living conditions. ABWK seeks to end this downward spiral through repair projects that include safety enhancements, handicap accessibility, yard clean up and general exterior repairs that contribute to the sustainability and overall beautification of the recipient’s home and neighborhood. With repairs typically taking only a few weeks, a home can be transformed through this beneficial program. ABWK addresses critical home repairs, fosters a greater sense of homeowner pride and preserves property values, helping not only the homeowner but the neighborhood as a whole.

By the end of Fiscal Year 2011, five existing low-income and elderly homeowners received critical home repairs that improved the soundness, safety and appearance of their homes—four in Temple City and one in Azusa. Temple City helped SGV Habitat get Brush With Kindness underway by allocating an inaugural $50,000 for five BWK projects to commemorate the City’s 50th anniversary. This provided initial momentum for the affiliate’s newest program to touch more lives through affordable housing repairs. An annual goal has been set to complete at least ten ABWK projects per year.

A Brush With Kindness (ABWK)Elmira

sGV Habitat’s newest and most innovative fund development program began in April of this year in partnership with Jp Morgan chase Bank. As part of its community reinvestment program, chase Bank donated a foreclosed five-unit apartment building on elmira street in pasadena to sGV Habitat for Humanity. sGV Habitat is repairing and improving the buildings to make them decent, yet still affordable, living spaces. This property is one of the largest single donations ever received by sGV Habitat. When the rehabilitation work is finished and the building is sold to a new owner, net proceeds will help build more homes for even more families in need. Through the donation of this property, sGV Habitat for Humanity is able to help an entire community by rehabilitating the dilapidated foreclosed units with exterior and interior renovations and structural repairs. The elmira rehabilitation is helping the community where it is located and is bettering the lives of existing tenants and future families who will benefit when proceeds are applied toward a build of new affordable homes.


paul McAnnally-linzXerox corporation grants year of social service leave to sGV HFH Board member, paul McAnnally-linz beginning January 2011

paul McAnnally-linz was honored to be selected as one of seven Xerox employees to be granted a social service leave in 2011. This long-standing Xerox initiative allows employees to take up to a year off, with pay, to work on a community service project of their own choosing. While there were many worthy projects submitted, building decent affordable housing for hard working, low-income families was a compelling proposition for which paul was granted 12 months to work full time for san Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. paul knew this would be a very different experience from anything he had done before with Habitat for Humanity. As a frequent weekend

volunteer, he was familiar with the basic functioning of a build site. He was familiar with the materials, tools and many of the tasks required in the building of homes. in taking on roles similar to those of construction staff, paul helped sequence, organize and assign tasks, assuring the materials and tools needed to accomplish those tasks were available and teaching inexperienced volunteers to complete the tasks in a safe manner. paul was excited to learn something new each day and to see the Geneva development go from a weed patch to what will soon be five new homes.

paul beams as he summarizes his year of service with sGV Habitat for Humanity, “it has been a privilege to be part of the team that completed seven Brush With Kindness projects, submitted the application to secure the land for the proposed Desiderio build in pasadena, completed the first phase of the rehabilitation of the elmira property and advanced the Geneva build.”


our RestoresAn integral facet of sGV

Habitat’s sustainability model, our Restores exist to promote recycling and reuse and to support the affordable housing mission of Habitat for Humanity. local Restores have served over 1.5 million people in the community by receiving donations of usable building materials and selling these home improvement materials to the public at discounted prices.

This year we celebrated record-setting sales as the combined gross revenue for the pasadena and Azusa Restores was over $1,000,000 for the first

time since the stores were opened in 2003 and 2009, respectively. This achievement put sGV Habitat for Humanity one step closer to its goal of having Restore sales cover 100% of the affiliate’s operating costs so that every donor dollar can go toward building, rehabilitating and repairing affordable housing.

sGV Habitat Restores’ consistent growth is evident through record sales and strong donations. A third Restore in the southern section of our service area would reach new donors and expand the Restore customer base. Readers of this Annual Report are invited to suggest potential sites for a third Restore as we work toward a reality

in which all of our service area will have convenient access to a Restore.

simultaneous with the search for a third Restore location, sGV Habitat for Humanity is in the process of finding and securing an affordable replacement location for the pasadena Restore when the currently leased city-owned building is torn down to make way for the Heritage square project. Although this introduces a challenge to the affiliate, we look forward to finding a new pasadena Restore location that allows the affiliate’s Restores to continue to improve and flourish.

sGV Habitat for Humanity Restores continue to enact measures to support the affiliate’s commitment


to green practices. Donations to our Restores of gently used building materials, fixtures and appliances have saved tons of discarded materials from ending up in landfills.

our Restores are also committed to recycling on a daily basis by properly discarding materials such as cardboard, bottles and metal, as well as responsibly discarding hazardous and electronic waste. sGV Habitat Restores’ commitment to being an environmentally-responsible

business is appreciated by the public and has helped the Restores, and the affiliate as a whole, garner support within the community.

in addition to being an environmentally-responsible business, sGV Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to building and repairing affordable housing as a foundation for stable homeownership and responsible citizenship. A strategic

goal of the affiliate is to expand on this year’s Restore successes to transform more lives and communities.


strategic planning process Authorizedin 2011, sGV Habitat for Humanity launched a rigorous and comprehensive strategic planning initiative, made possible by generous funding from the california community Foundation, to establish a roadmap for the affiliate’s future. Warren Riley, president of npo solutions and a specialist in nonprofit sector strategic planning, was selected to provide professional guidance for the effort.

The process began with:• A Resource Audit Report based on internal and

external assessments regarding the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

• A series of four Task Force meetings to discuss organizational challenges that need to be addressed in the Strategic Plan. The strategic planning task Force was made up of 15 members including key community stakeholders and members of the Board of Directors and staff. We give special thanks to those outside the organization whose involvement added particular value to discussions and deliberations during the planning process.

Based on the Resource Audit, input from the strategic planning task Force and the Board of Directors, the consultant will develop a three-year Strategic Plan that sharpens our institutional mission and vision and articulates our key priorities for the next three years. The strategic plan will serve as a roadmap for sGV Habitat for Humanity as annual operating plans and Budgets are developed and as results are evaluated.

upon Board approval, the new Strategic Plan will be implemented to ensure sGV Habitat for Humanity touches as many lives as possible by building, renovating and repairing affordable homes.


Ace cain Humanitarian Award Recipient George Garfield

The Ace cain Humanitarian Award is presented to individuals who represent the spirit and vision of sGV Habitat’s founder, John “Ace” cain. Distinguished honorees are strong advocates for the affordable housing work of the affiliate, generous donors, and extraordinary leaders.

George Garfield served on the Board of Directors from 2003 and was selected as the 2011 recipient of this highest award. As our executive Director says, “George thinks BiG!” His visions for san Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity have included:

• starting a local Restore that would generate revenue to support the affiliate’s affordable housing mission,

• stability in staff leadership, and • A large, dense urban development

Through George’s help and guidance, sGV Habitat has succeeded in accomplishing those goals:

• The affiliate now operates two successful Restores that together grossed over $1,000,000 in FY2011,

• An executive Director was hired in 2004 and has now helped to guide the affiliate for seven years, and

• sGV Habitat’s eleven-unit condominium build on Kenwood street in Glendale was completed in June 2010

George has clearly met the high standards for the Ace cain Humanitarian Award, and he has enthusiastically agreed to serve on the organization’s Hard Hat council where his inspirational passion for the work of sGV Habitat will continue to have impact.

Left: Adopted Desiderio Reuse Plan


O n February 18, 2011 the Department of Housing and urban Development (HuD) issued a letter to city of pasadena affirming that the

Reuse plan and Homeless Assistance submittal for the Desiderio Hall Army Reserve center complies with the requirements of the Base closure community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994 and its implementing regulations found at 24 cFR part 586. The letter also granted permission for the city of pasadena local Redevelopment Authority (lRA) to move forward with implementing the reuse plan by pursuing the redevelopment of the facility as a public park and for recreational use via a public Benefit conveyance sponsored by the u.s. Department of the interior through the national park service’s Federal lands to parks program, a museum, and nine units of single family housing through a public Benefit conveyance to san Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity sponsored by HuD’s self Help Housing program. The reuse plan

progress toward Goal of Building the Desiderio Homes

includes 116 units of permanent supportive housing at the centennial place project on Holly street in pasadena, $250,000 in rehabilitation grant funding, and $750,000 to provide supportive services to centennial place residents.

This authorization enabled sGV Habitat for Humanity to devote the next seven months to preparing its public Benefit conveyance application to HuD for the purpose of gaining control of the property on which the nine affordable housing units will be built. The application has been made and further inquiries from HuD have been received (2012).

Kudos go to chase Bank which donated a five-unit apartment building to sGV Habitat. This repossessed property has been improved by sGV Habitat with the help of chase Bank and other volunteers. it is anticipated that eventual sale of the improved units will provide seed money for the Desiderio campaign which will be launched as soon as a full public Benefit conveyance of 1.29 acres at the Desiderio site has been granted.

The program was launched in 2010 as part of Habitat for Humanity international’s focus on awareness of the worldwide need for safe, decent housing and the service roles available to young people who want to make a difference by participating in their local communities.

• This year, over 200 campus club members were recruited to educate, advocate, fundraise and build in support of sGV Habitat’s mission to provide safe, decent and affordable housing for those in need.

• sGV Habitat now has five active campus clubs 4Arcadia High school4la salle High school4Maranatha High school4Mayfield senior school4polytechnic school

Growing the next Generation of Habitat supporterssGV Habitat’s Youth programs shantytown

in February 2011, sGV Habitat’s Youth united leadership committee organized “shantytown,” a reality-driven fundraiser where over a hundred local high school students slept outdoors at pasadena nazarene church using only sleeping bags and cardboard boxes for makeshift shelters as a means to experience and empathize with people who are not fortunate enough to have decent shelter. participants raised over $5,000 for sGV Habitat for Humanity’s Geneva build, and exemplified the impact youth can have to raise awareness of the need for affordable housing.
