Habitat for Humanity Annual Report

Building homes, building hope...

A community where everyone has a decent place to live.

2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community

Partnership is one of Habitat’s core tenants. Here, United Good Neighbors volunteers from Port Ludlow Associates spend a day on the Habitat job site.

Letter from the Director

Jean Camfield

Board President

No doubt about it, 2012 was a remarkable year.

We started the year with a resolution to serve 50 families in five years, and we made some great progress: • Volunteers built four new houses in Port Townsend, including a house built in 11 days • Partners and volunteers repaired four homes in Quilcene • We celebrated the completion of our 25th house That’s eight local families served with simple, decent housing.

“Habitat for me is about family. In our 14+ years we have served 34 families with 66 children. We have a family of 350+ volunteers and staff who make this all happen. Please join our Habitat family in 2013 and help us meet our goal of serving 50 families in the next 5 years.”

That’s not all. By sharing ten percent of our undesignated contributions, we sponsored four new homes in Brazil, bringing the number of overseas homes we have built to 30 in the past 14 years. It’s truly remarkable, especially when you know that some consider this community too small to serve even one family a year.

What does it take to pull off such a tremendous accomplishment? I can answer it in one word – People.

Habitat could never do it without the people who: • Wield hammer and saw to contribute more than 2,500 hours building every new Habitat house • Repair homes in Quilcene • Make lunches for other volunteers • Give generously, from contributions of $15 to full house sponsorships of $65,000 • Serve on committees • Help in one of Habitat’s two stores or drive the Habitat truck • Prepare families for the responsibilities of homeownership • Help keep the books or answer phones We begin 2013 with grateful hearts, thankful for the opportunity to be part of a remarkable community of neighbors. I look forward to meeting more of my neighbors this year as we work together to eliminate substandard housing in East Jefferson County, one house and one family at a time.

Warmly,

Habitat’s Mission

We build and repair simple, decent houses in partnership with people in need. We are a Christian housing ministry partnering with people of all faiths or no faith to build lives on the foundation of homeownership and make shelter a matter of conscience and action.

2012-2013 Annual Report to the Community

Now in retirement, Chris loves to golf and volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul, meeting with families in need throughout Jefferson County. Carolyn was recently elected to the Board of Trustees for Seattle Opera and coordinates the opera’s education volunteers. Carolyn is also a dedicated Habitat volunteer in the store, serving on several committees, and on the Board of Directors.

$65,000 Gift Sponsors Home On a mild December afternoon, the joy in a crowded Habitat home was palpable when Habitat House Sponsors Chris and Carolyn Eagan handed the keys to new homeowner Vicky Baron. Chris and Carolyn’s experience as Habitat for Humanity House Sponsors lasted just over a year, but some would say it is part of their life’s journey.

Both Eagans grew up in strong Catholic families where service was a way of life. After they married in 1968, they joined the newly-created VISTA program, Volunteers in Service to America. During their year in what is sometimes referred to as the domestic Peace Corps, the couple provided job training to chronically under- and unemployed workers. Both chose careers in service to others, Carolyn as a nurse and Chris as a lawyer representing injured workers. Four wonderful children and 10 grandchildren ensued.

A few years ago, Carolyn’s parents were aging and her dad’s cancer was progressing,

requiring her parents to move into assisted living. Chris and Carolyn helped them financially with the move and loaned them money to get their house ready to sell. After her dad passed away two years ago and the parents’ house sold, the money came back to Chris and Carolyn.

“Home has always meant a lot to us,” says Carolyn, “and we wanted that for someone else. So, in honor of my parents for giving me a stable home as a child, Chris and I decided to give the money to Habitat for Humanity to build a home with a family in need.”

When that cozy Habitat house was recently filled to overflowing with Chris and Carolyn in the middle of the celebration, it was no surprise that joy spilled over in tears and smiles from the nearly 75 in attendance. One more family accepted both the reward and responsibility of homeownership, including an affordable mortgage. Carolyn’s and Chris’s smiles lit up their faces, with the knowledge that their gift had made this possible.

Nora’s Neighborhood Picture it: A 15-home community with space for children to play and families to gather, where neighbors form friendships over many years, and the grocery store and doctor’s office are a short walk away.

Thanks to the vision and generosity of many people, this picture is becoming reality.

Several years ago, Habitat acquired property near Seaport Landing, thanks in part to a generous donation from local couple Sol and Vivian Raymond.

Now, plans are moving forward.

The project, named Nora’s Neighborhood in memory of the late Nora Porter, includes a pocket park and paths that connect to the City’s trail system.

It is being financed in part by a $50,000 fundraising campaign among friends and admirers of Mrs. Porter. Former Speaker of the House Lynn Kessler and local citizen Jean Camfield are co-chairing the campaign. The campaign is halfway to its goal, but now we need your help!

Woven Together

Habitat Family Selection Co-Chair Chris Bates (pictured left) hands the keys to new homeowner Maria Chavez as her granddaughter looks on.

Benefits of Homeownership Habitat for Humanity has helped 30 families in East Jefferson County (and counting!) realize the dream of homeownership. It takes a high level of commitment from the families in order to see this dream come to fruition. Many of our families have come to us looking for the stability that homeownership provides.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the fair market rent for a three bedroom home in Jefferson County comes in at a whopping $1,186 per month, making safe housing nearly impossible for a family living on a limited income.

Habitat steps in to assist families who have a housing need, the ability to pay back an affordable mortgage and the willingness to partner with Habitat. In return, the families commit to 250 to 400 hours of sweat equity, spending their money wisely, and to ongoing training. Our goal is to prepare families for homeownership through monthly classes and instruction. We help our homeowners learn how to maintain their homes and when to call for help. We cover basic landscaping, home finances and how to grow a sense of community in their neighborhoods. All of these things prepare them for the day they are handed the keys to their new home.

Year after year studies confirm the benefits of homeownership for families. Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school and 116% more likely to graduate from college.

Along with increased success in education is the benefit that comes from sharing a neighborhood with other homeowners. Homeowners take pride in their homes, devoting time and attention to the upkeep of their yards and neighborhoods. We often hear from Habitat homeowners about the strong sense of community they share with their neighbors that didn’t exist when they were renters or in other temporary housing situations.

Looking at the tapestry of Habitat for Humanity from a distance you’ll see homes and families, volunteers and celebrations, shoppers and donors all coming together to form something beautiful. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that all of it is held together with the common thread of relationships.

Many of those who shop in the Habitat store also donate items.

Many of our 300 volunteers serve in more than one capacity.

One of the most important threads that runs through our organization is the role that Habitat homeowners play after they move into their home.

Karen Burge moved into her Habitat home in Irondale 10 years ago, and continues to play a vital role in the support of families building homes. Karen’s current role was shaped by her experience teaching English as a Second Language in Mexico.

She first connected with Habitat upon returning to the United States to begin a career in healthcare and to the Olympic Peninsula where her parents had retired.

The savings for the homeowner don’t “It was during all these stop with an affordable purchase price beginning steps that I first heard and low cost financing.

Habitat homeowner Karen Burge gives back.

Understand that at this point, all I knew about Habitat was from news stories about Jimmy Carter. I knew Habitat helped build houses for impoverished people in third world countries.

I never dreamed that individual Habitat organizations existed to do the same in the United States.”

It wasn’t long before Karen was building alongside volunteers and seeing her dreams of homeownership become reality.

It didn’t end with a home for her family. Karen has gone on to spread the word about the opportunities available to families in our community. As a Habitat homeowner and an active member of St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish, Karen has served as a Spanish translator and has facilitated Habitat house ceremonies.

This time the common thread in the tapestry of Habitat and the model for giving back to the community happens to be another Habitat homeowner.

Volunteer and Neighbor Like many Port Townsend residents, Penny Vorster is a bit of a rolling stone.

Although born and raised in Minnesota, she soon headed west where she met and married Arnold, a Methodist pastor and Afrikaner from South Africa.

It was during their time with the church that Penny first learned about Habitat for Humanity and its mission.

“My husband and I were very impressed that Habitat provided a hand-up rather than a hand-out.” Although not able to volunteer at the time, the Vorsters were again introduced to Habitat’s work. After 41 years of service to the church, they were able to retire. They sold their house and traveled the country in a motor home for the next seven years.

During their travels around the country, they became lifelong friends with several Care-A-Vanners, a group of volunteers who travel the country in their RVs to help build Habitat houses.

Although the Vorster schedule precluded them from participating in a Care-A-Vanner event, Penny was impressed with

Penny Vorster and the Habitat homes she helped to build.

their friendly, professional manner and how they began each day with a devotion.

Penny and Arnold eventually decided to settle in Port Townsend. As luck would have it, shortly after moving into their home on Eddy Street, Habitat started work on the first of six homes right across the street. This was the Vorster’s third encounter with Habitat, and it turned out to be the longest-lasting one.

Penny immediately signed up to work on the first house, and helped with construction on three of the homes before exchanging her hammer for a greeter’s clipboard.

She loves living across the street from Habitat families and continuing the relationships she established with them. She has been to all of the Eddy Street home dedications and is always moved by the show of support from family, friends and members of the community.

One of Penny’s most memorable Habitat experiences is her involvement with the Home Builders Blitz. She had the awesome task of signing in the many volunteers that worked on the house over the 11 day period. She was

Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County

most impressed with seeing the volunteers, families, and neighbors come together.

“I was able to meet new people and experience the satisfaction of helping a very deserving family build a home of their own.” Penny continues to be the friendly face of Habitat, signing in volunteers at the jobsite, rain or shine. “People think you have to do big things to make a big impact, but with Habitat you learn that every little bit helps.”

Kathy Norrell

Habitat Care-a-Vanner Volunteer “This first experience of Habitat exceeded our high expectations. It provided us an opportunity to meet likeminded people, and develop relationships as we worked together. Habitat is a great organization, helping people to help themselves. It was great to be a part of something we really believe in! “

It takes many hands to build a home. Pictured are volunteers from the Boiler Room, 4H Jefferson County and Habitat.

The Gift of Time On a cold and rainy Saturday morning, while many of us were still curled up in a warm bed, a small but dedicated group of folks from the Boiler Room stood huddled around the jobsite while they received their instructions for the day. Trudging through the mud and wiping the rain out of their eyes, they hauled gravel in wheelbarrows and used rakes and shovels to construct driveways for our two newest Habitat houses. It was amazing to watch.

But what’s more amazing is that it happens every day in our community.

Countless volunteers commit their time and talents to Habitat. It takes more than 2,500 volunteer hours to build one house. Last year, over 15,000 hours were selflessly given by friends of Habitat in support of our mission. The majority of our office volunteers have been with us www.habitatejc.org

for over five years. Every Tuesday, more than 20 volunteers operate in perfect synchrony to process donations in the Habitat Store. Many of these volunteers also serve on committees, helping to guide Habitat as we continue to grow and serve more families. Habitat’s Office & Volunteer Coordinator Melissa McSwain says “It is wonderful working with volunteers because you work with people who really want to be here.” Friendships are formed, connections made and laughter shared, culminating in that day when a grateful family is given the keys to a new home and volunteers take pride in knowing that they helped to build it. A wise man once said, “Time is free, but it’s priceless.”

We at Habitat couldn’t agree more.

Building a Better Home Long time Habitat volunteer Jerry Rowe does finish work.

Townsend, Chimacum, Quilcene – Here we go!

Last year Dr. Jim and Noreen Mc Carron donated three large lots in Chimacum’s Brookside Estates to Habitat for Humanity. This coming year the first parcel will be developed with a new family expected to move in next winter. Through this very generous donation, Habitat is now able to expand and meet more needs in our community.

Many volunteers who donate their time in Port Townsend are thrilled to build in Chimacum. Jerry Rowe is one of them. “Chimacum is my home. I grew up in the area and I went to school in Chimacum so I’m very happy to be working here,” said Jerry.

Shold Excavating installs the first septic system in early February. In time, a new family will enjoy a simple, decent, affordable home. Habitat will also build three new homes on Cliff Street in Port Townsend and complete six repair projects in Quilcene.

Completing projects in three different locations will require more volunteer help than usual. Volunteer coordinator Melissa McSwain will be hard at work recruiting volunteers to keep construction moving on all three sites in addition to the store and office. In order to meet the needs, a number of volunteer groups are scheduled.

In March, Collegiate Challenge will bring eight college students to Port Townsend for a week. In May Habitat will sponsor a week-long Women Build and in the summer three Care-A -Vanner groups come for two weeks each. Large groups are a great, but we couldn’t do it without the help of our local volunteers. They are a blessing to families in need of a home and an asset to East Jefferson County.

Before getting selected for a Habitat home, many of our homeowners lived in low-cost rental houses.

Doors and windows leaked air, crawlspaces were damp and often infested with rodents, and utility bills were sky high. As an alternative, Habitat is working hard to build homes that are energy efficient, durable, and affordable for families in need.

“Our duty is to keep Habitat homes affordable for our homeowners, many people seem astonished when they learn about all of the energy efficient techniques we integrate into our building process,” says Construction Manager Collin Jacobsen.

Construction volunteers air seal and insulate the outside of new homes and as a result, Habitat has been able to achieve a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 65 on new homes. The HERS scale rates the energy efficiency of homes based

on insulation, air sealing, and electrical use by appliances. This means that Habitat homes are 65% more efficient than the typical existing home and 35% more efficient than the typical new home. All testing is performed by an independent verifier through Northwest Energy Star.

Beginning in 2012, new Habitat homes are built on slab foundations that eliminate the chance of pest infestation, rot, mold, and water infiltration into crawlspaces. The exterior is clad with fiber cement siding that resists rot and does not need to be painted for many years. A minisplit ductless heat pump is capable of heating the entire home for just a few dollars each month and, thanks to local contractors, the system is affordable to low-income families.

Building high quality, affordable housing is our goal and the benefits improve the quality of life of our homeowners.

Building this type of home and keeping it affordable is a challenge that could not be met if not for the dedication of many volunteers and the contributions of local contractors.

We at Habitat, and the 28 families now living in Habitat homes, are grateful.

Quilcene Neighborhood Revitalization Has Begun Right from the start, Habitat for Humanity’s Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative has been focused on partnership and collaboration. In the fall of 2010, as Habitat’s Cassandra Johnson was meeting face to face with Quilcene residents, it was obvious that there was a renewed spirit of cooperation in the community. The timing seemed right to provide a piece of the puzzle for a community drawing together to meet its challenges - Habitat’s program to repair homes in the core area of Quilcene.

Following a great deal of planning, Habitat was able to complete its first project, a roof replacement, and begin another extensive roof repair project. We knew it would take a sustained presence in the community to complete the goal of 30 repairs in five years, so we began to explore further partnerships. It was at the crossroads of need and resources this December that Habitat began its first collaborative repair project involving the resources of Habitat for Humanity, the Boeing Bluebills, and the Real Estate Professionals for

Affordable Housing (REPAH).

The recipient was Quilcene resident Clarence Hotchkiss. With only a short, steep ramp to reach the entryway of his home, Clarence was in danger of injury every time he came and went. Clarence has limited income and his disability prevented him from taking on the project himself, but through connections at the local food bank and Davis Steelquist, a Boeing Bluebill, he got wind of Habitat’s repair program.

Within a few weeks of applying, Clarence had a 24 foot ramp with a slight incline, perfect for easy access.

Following the completion of the ramp, Clarence said he couldn’t be happier; “It’s wonderful. I’m really pleased with it. I’ve been using it and it’s perfect.”

With REPAH providing funding for materials, the Boeing Bluebills providing project design and volunteers, and Habitat providing additional funding and volunteer time, the project was completed in just a couple of days. This project also sets the stage for future partnerships with these and other organizations all sharing a heart for those in Quilcene and throughout our county for those needing a hand up.

Quilcene Store Volunteers celebrate the one year anniversary of their hard work!

The Quilcene Store Celebrates It’s hard to believe that just over a year ago the Habitat Store in Quilcene was still an empty storefront. Thanks to a dedicated and growing group of volunteers the store had over $14,000 in net sales last fiscal year, funding more than three repair projects in Quilcene.

Here’s how it works. Store volunteers accept donations of lightly used furniture, household items and antiques from nearby Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County

residents. Customers from near and far purchase the store items and all the proceeds help fund exterior repair projects for local homeowners.

The projects are completed by local volunteers and contractors.

This model has helped Habitat achieve what it has long wanted: to serve the residents of the South County who are in need of safer and healthier homes. The store is a strong connection for Habitat in the community.

More than just a store, it’s a connecting point for donors, volunteers, community supporters and families in need.

There is a lot of work to be done to meet our goal of 30 repairs in five years, but with a solid foundation, the continued efforts of many volunteers, and the opportunity to be a part of a community’s renewed vision, we are excited to see it happen!

www.habitatejc.org

Quilcene homeowners happy to be living in a safer home include June Pope, Jane & Bob Mathews, and Clarence Hotchkiss.

Treasure Trove at the Habitat Store ✒ By Pam Teagarden Wednesdays, ritual, treasures.

My secret place. The Habitat for Humanity Store. Enticed there by treasures yet undiscovered, I have a weekly Wednesday ritual. My quest for objects of quality, perhaps overlooked by others, a fair price, and a visit with its volunteers, gradually becoming friends, my motive.

It’s not quite 10 a.m., the opening bell for Habitat. People are waiting in their cars in the cold weather, the more anxious at the door. The smiling, dedicated volunteers are seen through the glass door, a final dusting and arranging taking place. Finally the grand dames open the store. Some enter almost running, perhaps a particular, previously noted object in mind.

Others, like me, stroll more leisurely, casting an eye not only at large pieces of furniture, but at the small treasures that remain more hidden, by happenstance as much as anything. I bring my hot coffee, recently purchased at “Mean Bean,” an orange apricot scone from Pane D’Amore and I am ready for my Habitat adventure.

My most rewarding purchases were unplanned, the need for the items I

would eventually find, lying in my subconscious. Two beautiful down comforters, just before the cold winds of winter. A beautiful Cuisinart blender with all the attachments that my younger daughter had wanted to make soup. Two armoires, one a French provincial, the other of oriental design, both of real wood, tenoned joints, heavy structure and beautiful finish. Another, a French provincial style dining table with hand carved legs and chairs with real suede leather seats. My most endearing was a sapphire and pearl lapel pin that I secretly coveted, thinking my lingering pauses at the jewelry case were going unnoticed.

But then, on Christmas morning I opened a small box, and there it lay, a present from my older daughter.

As a professional living in Port Townsend since 1983, the purpose of my words is more than just to file an article about an incredibly charitable organization. It is to tell you that shopping at Habitat, having it available in our community, is part of a culture. It is about finding items of fine quality and craftsmanship that cannot be purchased at today’s furniture stores and the workmanship may have lasted through several generations at an affordable price. It is about making new friendships with volunteers, many or all of whom have led incredibly rich and diverse lives.

It has enriched my life, in particular, by seeing two mothers, whom I have known through the years, obtain a home for their families. One, I used to see working as a gardener, her young son alongside her in all kinds of weather. The other, a young woman who completed her education while raising a child and now is employed by Peninsula College.

I invite you to share this experience with me while supporting an organization that supports this community. Come on in, not looking for anything in particular, and you might just find what you need. They also generously give 25% off coupons to thank you for donating items. See you there!

Shopping at the Habitat Store

✒ By Sara McMahan

In one month, 3,257 customers shopped in the Habitat Store for quality, previously owned merchandise at just a fraction of the cost that would have been paid had these things been bought new.

They bought furniture, kitchen supplies, appliances, jewelry, tools, linens, antiques, and more.

The key to finding what you’re looking for or just perusing what’s there in case something serendipitous shows up is to SHOP OFTEN! In the Port Townsend Habitat Store, Wednesdays are the biggest days because pickups and deliveries of large items happen on Tuesdays. With the doors closed, Habitat’s energetic volunteers scurry around like busy bees, cleaning, moving, arranging, pricing and generally doing everything possible to make shopping fun and easy when the store opens on Wednesday mornings for the line of folks waiting to get in! Each month more than 66 people volunteer at the store, with 35 additional volunteers working at the newer Quilcene store.

Habitat Store shoppers often seem to have a system, and we recommend their method of moving through the store.

First, be sure to check out our outside racks with lawn and garden bargains there. When you walk through the doors, look around you in both directions; it’s surprising how often things right inside the doors go unnoticed. Keep your eyes open, and move in a counterclockwise direction through the several rooms of merchandise.

Notice the little things, too, the lamps, knick-knacks and other small things arranged on window shelves and atop furniture. If you love antiques, look closely throughout the store for the quality items you may want for your home.

Be sure to notice the artwork on the walls; you may be surprised at the excellent things made by both local and distant artists in all media.

Your next room contains odds and ends of furniture, office supplies, luggage, linens and more furniture.

It is also where you will find the “Clearance” section with items that have been in the store for awhile and are seriously looking for Continued on next page 9▼

new homes. You can find anything from sheets to yoga pads, towels to meditation cushions. You’ll want to slow down here, for it’s easy to miss gems among the ordinary.

As you pass through the next doorway, you come upon “man stuff” e.g. tools of every sort imaginable, sporting goods, lighting fixtures (actually, these are throughout the store and one must remember to keep looking up) and appliances. Shoppers can usually find a washer, dryer, refrigerator and/or kitchen stove here, and the bargains are tremendous! I recently bought a used stove with just a couple cosmetic flaws, priced at $250.

Once it was delivered, I priced a new one online for $2,300!

Straight through takes you to the kitchen and electronic equipment. You can find almost anything you might need for your kitchen, from silverware to coffee pots and pressure cookers, cups galore and those odd little things

you never knew existed but now cannot live without. Take your time here so you don’t miss it!

Moving along, our books, DVDs and similar items will be on your right, along with a charming alcove where you can sit in a chair and take your time looking through the titles. Most books are priced at 99¢.

The store always has a plethora of dining table sets at truly amazing prices. There are sets of ordinary dishes and fine china for just about every taste, and things to store them in. You’ll want to take the long way around so you don’t miss anything in this wonderful department, and next you’ll find yourself in the living room displays. The number of sofas and lounge chairs that pass through the Habitat Store are astonishing, and remarkable bargains can be found if you keep coming back.

Finally, you are at the checkout counter. Don’t forget to look

morning news, our shoppers are happy as they leave the store.

Many comment on the warm welcome they receive while they are with us: ‘It feels good in here,’ and it does. The volunteers are having fun and that energy can’t help but be contagious.

Come back often, for merchandise comes and goes quickly. It’s generally a mistake to leave something there for a day or two when you know right away it is what you want, for when you return with your mind made up, there’s a good chance the item will have landed in someone else’s home! If you’re looking for something specific, it’s a good idea to bring in color samples, photos or anything you wish to match. We can put a “Sale Pending” tag on things for two hours. If you need to arrange transport for a large item, we can store it for you for a day or three. Prices are non-negotiable, but if an item has been there for awhile, you can leave your phone number with an offer. Better yet, you can call ahead to inquire whether we have the item you’re looking for, e.g. a refrigerator or a lawn mower.

Above all, please remember that your purchases in our stores build and replace houses for people who could not otherwise afford them, from young families to seniors.

Thanks for the great truck!

Working in three communities this year, Habitat knew it greatly needed a truck to haul materials and tools. That wish was granted by a generous donation from Dr. Tom Hagen and his wife Zoe Durham. Zoe said, “We are glad our truck found a good home at Habitat.”

Next time you see a 1989 Ford pickup truck around town, make sure to wave!
