DEAR FRIENDS, For Community Housing Partners (CHP), 2012 brought a continued focus on what we do best – creating and serving sustainable communities by using innovative and responsible practices and resources. Our partners and peers took notice, and this year CHP once again received a diverse array of awards and recognitions for the work we’ve done. But getting recognition for ourselves has never been CHP’s goal. We measure success by the people our work affects: the prosperity they are able to find, the dreams they are able to pursue, and the comfort and security they’re able to garner from the hard work we do. By that most important of metrics, 2012 was truly a banner year for CHP. The data provided in this report tell a great story about the work we’ve done in 2012, but what the numbers don’t tell is the human story behind what we do and why we do it. This past year, we were incredibly moved when CHP and other community partners rallied to ease the life of Abrianna Reed, a little girl born with a terminal illness, by building her a special room to accommodate her round-the-clock care needs. With over 200 volunteer hours and over $50,000 in donations, we were able to provide assistance to the Reed family and they, in return, touched our hearts. Abrianna is one child, and the Reeds are one family, but every number tells a story and in 2012, CHP provided more happy endings and new beginnings than ever before. As CEO and Board Chair, we invite you to learn more about how CHP and our partners have made a real difference in our communities by exploring the pages of this impact report. We also welcome you to click on the arrows within the report to watch several videos we’ve produced on our impact as told through the eyes of our partners, homeowners, residents, and staff. We are honored to have played a role in the lives of these individuals, and we hope you enjoy seeing their stories. Sincerely,
Jane Henderson Chair of the Board
Janaka Casper President and CEO

“CHP has a vast reputation for delivering affordable and decent housing... They care about what they build. Not just for now, but in the future as well.� CHP has been the architect and/or general contractor on five developments owned by Project FAITH, a nonprofit organization based in King George, Virginia that facilitates access to independent housing for people with disabilities and low-income or low-wealth seniors.

“Knowing that [CHP] has people that specialize in buying houses who could walk me through every step without any type of pressure, without any type of cost, that was just amazing.” Beverly Miller is a financial specialist, a mother, and a new homeowner thanks, in part, to CHP’s homeownership team. Miller had previously purchased a home in California but found the process to be frustrating at times. Miller says, however, that working one-on-one with CHP’s homeownership and real estate professionals was an altogether different experience.

“The apartments are made better and...we have energy [efficient] heat. And that helps a lot. Now I love it...things are very good now.� A resident of Parkview Gardens since 1985, Jacqueline Williams witnessed a number of positive changes at the multifamily community when CHP purchased and assumed management of it in 2010. An even greater transformation took place in 2012 when we performed a major renovation of the property that included several green design and construction elements as well as a new community center.

CHRIS HESLEP “Every day, we’re making a difference. It’s not just [about] a paycheck. It’s more than that.”
Energy Solutions Operations Director Community Housing Partners Christiansburg, Virginia
Chris Heslep began his career at CHP by working a summer job at the age of 17. When that ended, a full-time position as a crew worker became available and Chris began weatherizing homes for low-income people full-time. Today, Chris serves as an Energy Solutions Operations Director and oversaw the weatherization of almost 800 homes in 2012.

SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHT
During National NeighborWorks Week, CHP came to the aid of a family of a terminally-ill child saddled with overwhelming medical bills and no resources to make much-needed home improvements. With help from generous donors and numerous volunteers, CHP undertook the design and construction of a new addition to the home, weatherized the existing structure, landscaped the property, and built a play set.
