Annual Report 2015-2016 — Habitat for Humanity Tucson

everyone annual report FY2015-2016

35

years of service

letter from our CEO

Right now, over 400 Tucson families are living and making memories in homes built in partnership with supporters like you.

That’s 400 families who are building better lives, contributing to our economy and are active members of our community — in 400 homes that are safe and stable.

It’s 400 dreams that you helped turn into realities.

In 2015, you helped built that 400th home — an incredible way to end our 35th year of building homes and hope in Southern Arizona.

2000

As I look back on our 35-year legacy in this community, I think of all of the families who were touched by your generosity and support of the community. I think of the children who have known a safe place to call home. I also think about the hands and hearts that have worked tirelessly to build a better world by giving of their time and talents.

I think of my mother, Connie.

Connie began volunteering with Habitat in 2000. She later brought our family to build alongside families who were completing their sweat equity. The rest is history.

We were moved by the passion of the volunteers — like my mother — who worked relentlessly to build homes and hope. We were touched by the families’ determination and efforts to build a future for their children.

That determination gave me the motivation to keep building.

2016

It’s the same motivation that continues to drive our volunteers and donors too.

We have a long history of working with families to build dreams. We share memories of children running through the halls of their new homes. We continue to think of the smiles of individuals as they turn the key to their futures.

It is so crucial to our mission to remember how far we’ve come and to continue that drive forward.

As we look back on the past 35 years, let’s remember why we do what we do.

Because everyone deserves a decent place to live, and everyone can do something today to help make that possible for another family.

Thank you for investing in your community by supporting home building and repair efforts in your neighborhoods.

Every home. Every family Every nail. Every hammer.

Everyone can make a difference.

I’m so excited to see what we can build together in the future.

In partnership,

T. VanHook, CEO Habitat for Humanity Tucson

everyone deserves a decent place to live and everyone can do something today to make that possible for another family.

you helped build...

Homeownership is a first step toward lifelong security. It opens doors to opportunities that include financial stability, better health and higher education.

Habitat homeowners take a huge step toward self-reliance when they turn the keys to their new, safe and affordable home.

And in this home, Habitat Tucson homeowners John and Gaby watched their baby girl take her first steps.

...first steps.

1980

Habitat Tucson was founded in 1980 and was the first of the Habitat for Humanity affiliates to build west of the Mississippi. The next year, we broke ground on our very first home, which was dedicated to the first Habitat Tucson family in 1982.

By 1990, Habitat Tucson had completed and sold 26 homes. The same year, our affiliate began global tithe efforts to help build homes in Haiti. Those efforts continue today, as we help 23 international families every year in countries like Mexico, Bangladesh and more.

Just a few years later, Habitat Tucson completed and dedicated our 100th home in 1997. It took just six more years to complete another 100 homes by 2003. The 300th Habitat Tucson home was completed and dedicated in 2009.

On September 11, 2002, Habitat Tucson hosted our first Building Freedom Day in remembrance of the lives lost in the events of 9/11/01.

Habitat volunteers and partners continue to honor this day by building homes together.

Celebrating 35 years of building streng

2015

In 2005, Habitat Tucson hosted the first ever Rainbow Build — a home built in partnership with the LGBT community. Now, these projects take place across the country and raise awareness for the need for shelter as it relates to social justice issues.

The Habitat for Humanity Tucson HabiStore opened in 2006. In February 2016, the store underwent a massive remodel to expand its capacity to further support Habitat Tucson’s mission through the sale of donated new and used home goods.

In 2012, Habitat Tucson expanded our community resources by launching the A Brush With Kindness program, which helps homeowners complete minor exterior home repairs. In January 2016, Habitat completed the 100th ABWK project with the help of community volunteers.

This year, we raised the walls of our 400th home in Tucson!

It was dedicated to the Paz Family in June of 2016. We are extraordinarily grateful for the support of the community of volunteers and donors who continue to build alongside hardworking families.

gth, stability, self-reliance and shelter.

2016

400 homes... and counting.

every home

is a building block.

1982 After being selected into Habitat Tucson’s homeownership program, Elisa and Alfredo Paz quickly completed their required hours of sweat equity. But when they learned that they were soon to become the proud owners of Habitat Tucson’s 400th home, the duo made a commitment to continue to build the homes of their neighbors.

The Paz family has now volunteered over 1,000 hours with Habitat Tucson — more than double their requirement for homeownership.

The spirit of service runs deep through Habitat Tucosn’s legacy. More than three decades before the Paz Family received the keys to their own home, another Tucson family was receiving the keys to a very special home of their own — the first Habitat home in Tucson.

The Diaz Family — Habitat Tucson’s first family — went on to help build eight more homes in partnership with their neighbors. It has been 15 years since the family paid off their mortgage, and they continue to speak on behalf of Habitat Tucson’s mission.

2015

100 projects to improve our shared community.

With the help of the community — and you — Habitat Tucson has improved the lives of seniors, veterans, families and individuals in our shared community through home repair projects.

In 2012, the introduction of the A Brush With Kindness program expanded these services by connecting volunteer groups with neighbors in need of minor exterior home repairs.

Fast-forward three years — volunteers from Santa Cruz Lutheran Church repaired and repainted the exterior of an aging Tucson home. The project was the 100th of its kind and helped restore dignity to the home of 90-yearold Edward Roman, a veteran of the U.S. military.

Habitat Tucson and supporters help build and repair homes in Marana, Tucson, Green Valley, Sahuarita and Amado.

a legacy of

service.

On April 15, 2015, Habitat Tucson said goodbye to a remarkable friend, Leland Yarbrough.

Leland worked with fellow volunteers, staff members and homeowners to build the foundation of our work at Habitat Tucson.

He is recognized as our first volunteer and staff leader, and founded our “regulars” — an extraordinary group of individuals who faithfully volunteer their time to Habitat Tucson’s mission.

To honor his life and efforts to make Tucson a more compassionate and just community, Habitat Tucson is building a home in partnership with a hardworking, local family in Leland’s name.

Every board, every nail, every part of this house will be a testament to the dedication and passion he brought to Habitat Tucson.

On Friday, November 6, 2015, Leland’s family and Habitat Tucson volunteers raised the walls on the Leland Memorial House.

“The best feeling is working with the new homeowners, of course - building homes with them -

side by side.

They are so deserving of good things in their life.”

For three generations, the Boice family has supported Habitat Tucson’s mission by giving of their time, talent and treasure.

Since our founding, Mary Kelly helped establish our affiliate in Southern Arizona. Her daughter, Ann Boice (pictured right), followed in her footsteps and served on our Board of Directors for nine years and continues to give in support of Habitat programs.

Ann has also enjoyed picking up a hammer and working alongside Habitat homebuyers. She is active in our all-woman construction program, Women Build.

Today, we work alongside Bill Kelly, Mary Kelly’s grandson, and Henry Boice, Ann’s son, who leads a corporate partnership between Habitat Tucson and Northern Trust.

“It just is always such a good feeling, working with Habitat,” Ann said. “They give people hope.”

generosity.

“I appreciate the time and efforts of everyone who helped me build my home.
