Building Capacity
ANNUAL REPORT FY 2014
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT To our San Gabriel Valley Habitat Family, Fiscal Year 2014 has been significant for our affiliate. I feel honored to be taking on the role as President of the Board from a dedicated and enthusiastic leader, Don Goodman. He helped us create a framework for many exciting initiatives this year and in the future. First and foremost, we did our groundbreaking for the three Chestnut Homes on March 15, 2014. These three homes and the wonderful families, working with our volunteers to create their future homes, help us achieve our goal of continuous affordable home construction in our affiliate. This opportunity would not have been possible without the support of the City of Glendale, truly our partner in affordable housing. This is our eighth affordable housing build in Glendale. Because of this continuum of construction, we will be able to move onto the Desiderio Build of nine homes in Pasadena, after Chestnut, and then to the Manzanita Build of two homes in Pasadena. We have been actively identifying champions within the Veterans network for Desiderio, to fulfill our commitment to find at least three Veteran families to be part of this community. Look for more opportunities to get involved in Desiderio during 2015. We thank the City of Pasadena for making land for the Manzanita Homes possible.
Sonja Yates, our Executive Director, continues to lead a staff team that is achieving more and more for affordable housing in our area.
We plan to operate the Pasadena ReStore as long as possible, while we ready its replacement, the Atwater Village ReStore. The Azusa ReStore has also grown this year. These stores are a significant financial support to the building of affordable housing by our affiliate. With the loss of Don Goodman and Paul McAnnally-Linz from the Board, we have been so grateful for the addition of new members who bring special talents to the Board. Glen Dawes from Kaiser Permanente has been leading our fund development efforts this year, as well as participating on the Faith Relations Committee and the Family Services Committee. Bob Law from Pankow Builders is leading our Construction Committee and bringing invaluable expertise to the Chestnut Build and the Atwater Village Restore rehabilitation. Sonja Yates, our Executive Director, continues to lead a staff team that is achieving more and more for affordable housing in our area. With this Annual Report and our many marketing materials, you have likely noticed that our marketing of the affiliate and our programs has jumped forward in effectiveness. We thank Brenton Kelly for his tireless effort and creativeness. He, like our other dedicated staff, help our affiliate achieve great success stories. This Annual Report again includes our high rating with Charity Navigator. With the on-going support of our corporate and community partners, our individual donors, our volunteers, and our staff, San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity has continued to achieve our goal of transforming lives and communities by bringing people together to build, renovate and repair affordable homes for families in need.

2014 Brought Changes to our ReStores PASADENA RESTORE SET TO CLOSE BUT A FUTURE LOCATION IN SIGHT Directors for San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity opened a fledgling ReStore in 2003, envisioning a time when every donor dollar could be used for building Habitat homes for families in need. The plan was that a ReStore would serve local communities by promoting green living practices of reuse and recycling while returning Net Operating Income (NOI) to support the affiliate’s affordable housing mission.
The Pasadena ReStore will close on December 23, 2014. The new Atwater Village ReStore location is under renovation.

SGV HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
It was known from the start of SGV Habitat’s license from City of Pasadena that the Pasadena ReStore location would have to close as soon as a developer with funding capacity was selected to build Heritage Square – a large, very-low-income, senior housing rental project in the 700 block of North Fair Oaks Avenue. Several Heritage Square attempts failed, and this long-anticipated project was delayed further by the economic decline that struck in 2008. SGV Habitat was noticed in 2014 that its Pasadena ReStore would have to close to finally make way for Bridge Housing’s Heritage Square project. With the FY 2013 achievement by the affiliate’s two ReStores, fully funding SGV Habitat’s operational costs for affordable housing, Directors made acquisition of a replacement ReStore for the highly successful Pasadena location a high strategic priority. The new location at 5201 W. San Fernando Road in Atwater Village, 90039 was found, and plans for renovation were underway throughout FY 2014. The new Atwater Village ReStore is slated to open early in 2015. Heartfelt thanks go to all members of our ReStore staff and to Pasadena ReStore’s shoppers and donors. The new Atwater Village ReStore will offer more retail space and significantly more parking. All are welcome as the Atwater Village ReStore joins the affiliate’s successful Azusa ReStore in supporting Habitat for Humanity’s affordable housing mission.

Chestnut Groundbreaking ON MARCH 15, 2014 WE CELEBRATED THREE NEW HOMES AND THREE DESERVING HABITAT FAMILIES Another milestone was reached this year — ground was broken for the eighth partnership build of the Glendale Housing Authority and SGV Habitat. This brings the total number of affordable homes built by SGV Habitat, just in Glendale, to 37 and advances the affiliate’s goal to reach the production level of 75 homes within the next three years. The life-changing groundbreaking event brought tears of joy to the three new Chestnut families. All family members, including 1½-year-old Alejandro, picked up golden shovels to break ground. As 300 attendees listened intently, a designee for each of the families introduced family members, telling of their struggles to buy a home of their own and giving thanks to all of those who are helping make this dream a reality. Sevenyear-old Maya Castaneda inspired the audience by asking for prayers for the hundreds of other needy children who, as yet, do not have the opportunity to have a home of their own. Major home and community sponsors were introduced and celebrated by Kelly Nardoni, member of the Board of Directors and the Fund Development Committee.

Outreach to Veterans HOMEOWNERSHIP IS POSSIBLE FOR LOW-INCOME VETERANS
Charles Rouchka (Uncle Charlie) donated his home in Arcadia so that three veterans can buy a home at the Desiderio build. He was often seen around town on his Schwinn bicycle, his preferred mode of transportation
The importance of outreach to veterans is becoming more important than ever as our organization gets closer to selecting home buyers for the Desiderio Homes. To better understand the veteran community, several staff members participated in a Habitat International event with other Habitat affiliates. Representatives from veteran groups participated in presentations and discussions to help Habitat affiliates effectively reach and serve the veteran population. Experience has shown that one of the most significant ways to attract veteran home applicants is by recruiting veterans to first volunteer at a build site. This helps veterans to better understand the Habitat for Humanity homeownership program and its eligibility requirements.
started and updated as the news spread within the veteran community. SGV Habitat staff members will continue to build relationships with those familiar with veteran groups and with those who have the capacity to send out information about the Desiderio Homes to thousands of individuals on their mailing lists. SGV Habitat’s Speaker’s Bureau also played an important role by presenting at local veteran outreach events.
In an effort to reach all eligible veterans, staff members created an outreach list compromised of all regional veteran groups and their contact persons. A list of veterans who contacted SGV Habitat regarding the Desiderio homeownership opportunity was
SGV Habitat’s staff and Board of Directors look forward to helping those who have made our country safer achieve the American dream of homeownership.
SGV Habitat will begin sending out detailed Application Meeting information towards the end of 2014. This will give sufficient time for follow-up outreach that will take place in preparation for the confirmed Application Meeting dates which will occur early in 2015.

• In 2010, John saw a golden opportunity for Chase Bank to partner with SGV Habitat by donating a repossessed apartment building in Pasadena. John was a motivated and compelling advocate as he arranged for his boss to meet SGV Habitat leaders and to eventually consummate the transfer of this property to the affiliate. The immediate goal was for SGV Habitat to do critical repairs to improve the lives of existing tenants; the long-range goal was John and the Hard Hat Council to sell the property to secure pro bono services and generate funding for new gifts-in-kind building materials homes that would be built by SGV Habitat. All of these goals have been achieved thanks to John’s ability to identify, pursue and bring this golden opportunity to fruition. • Since 2011, John has chaired the affiliate’s Hard Hat Council, a body of community business people who help to secure pro bono services and gifts-inkind of building materials.

One of Brenton’s most-requested pieces of physical marketing material when he joined the SGV Habitat staff was a general brochure about the affiliate’s programs and how to get involved. This brochure would be something to take to events and give out to interested volunteers, donors, or future homebuyers. Quickly, he learned that many individuals were initially only interested in one aspect of the organization, so he next focused on creating handouts for each program offered by our affiliate. We now have handouts specific to home ownership, home repair, faith, youth, veterans, volunteers, and ReStores. These have been very popular and have been a great success at outreach events. All event fliers, posters, and invites look more professional than ever, and we’ve received praise from recipients about the look and feel of the new informational pieces. Since Fiscal Year 2013, SGV Habitat’s constituent database has grown from less than 3,000 active email addresses to over 14,000! Social media activity has increased and following has increased over 40% on Twitter and Facebook. More email addresses and constituents translate to more
volunteers, donors, and ReStore customers. With advances in every single piece of marketing material, the most significant and needed next step is to capture the riveting stories of our very own Habitat homeowners. Our goal is to continue to share more emotionally gripping interviews with our own Habitat homeowners. These compelling stories will spread the word throughout our service area about the impactful work SGV Habitat is doing right here in local communities. With the ever-changing informational needs landscape, SGV Habitat has many more improvements on the horizon! But with the right staff in place, a supportive Board of Directors, and dedicated committees, our affiliate’s future is looking more hopeful than ever. Fiscal Year 2015 will bring continued outreach to our continuously-growing database, impactful events, and even more partnerships with local businesses, nonprofits, and local multimedia stations. Your ideas for still more growth in marketing our cause are welcome, and we ask that you join us in helping build more homes and hope in your community.
Website redesign also included a well deserved prominent recognition spot for our “Home Raisers”
