Leadership and Staff
Letter from the President To our San Gabriel Valley Habitat Family, The last year was full of exciting challenges and opportunities. The City of Glendale again showed leadership in providing affordable housing. Our affiliate was encouraged to find a Glendale lot for a new partnership development. Substantial progress was made toward this goal, and Housing Authority approvals are expected early in the coming fiscal year. We continue to move toward our goal of constructing nine homes on the former Desiderio Army Reserve Center in Pasadena. As the FY 2013 Annual Report goes to press, we expect a ground breaking in February 2015. Pledges and donations to date are commendable, but we still have a way to go. We particularly want to thank the Rouchka family for contributing Uncle Charlie’s home in Arcadia toward Desiderio. In fulfillment of Uncle Charlie’s and their wishes, three of the new Desiderio homes will be sold to eligible veterans. During this year, we restarted our Speakers Bureau to provide information for community groups about our upcoming builds, Critical Home Repairs, A Brush with Kindness, and our commitment to providing safe homes for low-income families needing help. Anticipating the redevelopment of the Pasadena ReStore property by Bridge Housing and the termination of our lease with the City of Pasadena, our Site Selection Committee has continued its diligent search for a new ReStore location with great growth potential in Pasadena or Glendale. All this was going on while we had very special events organized by Habitat volunteers, such as Shantytown at LaSalle High School in Pasadena on March 16-17 and two “Small Bites for Big Dreams” events in September 2012 at the grounds of Avery Dennison and in May 2013 at the University Club of Pasadena. We can never thank our volunteers enough for their efforts in construction, events, office support, and committees. This letter will be my last as President and as a member of the SGV Habitat Board. During my tenure on the Board of Directors, I have seen dramatic growth in the capacity of this affiliate. After three years as President, I am passing the gavel to a new President and a board with many new enthusiastic and talented members. I wish them all continuing success. I have confidence in them, our volunteers and our dedicated staff to continue bringing people together, building communities, and providing affordable housing to deserving low-income families. With best regards,
Don Goodman 2

Repair Programs Dominated SGV Habitat’s Program This Year Our home repair programs provide low income families who own and occupy their home with sorely-needed repairs.
Critical Home Repairs Critical Home Repairs were made on the exteriors of homes with significant deferred maintenance.
A Brush With Kindness A Brush With Kindness provided exterior preventive maintenance work, typically for elderly widows or owners whose health and mobility precluded “do-it-yourself ” projects.

We partnered with the Home Depot Repair Program for Veterans . . . . . . to provide up to $25,000 per home to widen doors for wheelchair accessibility, remodel bathrooms for safe access, add exterior ramps, complete long-overdue interior and exterior repairs and add a fresh coat of paint to restore pride of ownership.
SGV Habitat is proud to help veterans who served to keep America safe and free.

Legacy Society
Donations of property accelerated SGV Habitat’s goal to build continuously to touch more lives. Members of San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity’s recently launched Legacy Society have made provisions for veterans who need affordable housing for themselves and for their families, for low-income seniors who need to make overdue repairs on homes they have owned for many years, and for funding unique projects and needs that challenge a nonprofit organization.
Donated property will benefit veterans when the Desiderio Homes are built.

Desiderio Homes Campaign Funds raised grew by $1,243,590 this year.
We recognize, thank and honor those who gave so generously this year to bring the nine Desiderio Homes closer to reality! As we prepare financially to break ground, City of Pasadena is advancing work on a required Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Planned Development (PD) for the entire reuse parcel which will include Desiderio Park and SGV Habitat’s affordable bungalow court.
Fundraising continues to meet the campaign goal of $2,177,510 and to secure the Public Benefit Conveyance of the Desiderio land from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Partnership with the City of Glendale
The City of Glendale worked with SGV Habitat to advance a new three-home build. Land at 806 East Chestnut Street was identified for the eighth affordable housing partnership project in Glendale. Glendale’s Housing Authority is preparing to authorize funds for purchase of the vacant lot. This action is expected early next fiscal year. The Chestnut Homes will be built before the Desiderio homes.
Thanks to the 8th Glendale partnership build, the lives of three more low-income families will be transformed. 8

ReStores Support Our Affordable Housing Mission
Now every donor dollar can support families in need of simple, decent housing.
For the first time in the 10-year history of SGV Habitat’s ReStores, net operating income sufficient to pay for all operational costs was returned to support the affiliate’s affordable housing mission. Earlier in the year, notification came from City of Pasadena that the ReStore located at 770 North Fair Oaks Avenue would have to close as soon as funding for the long-awaited Heritage Square project was secured.
In 2013 a new search began for a relocation site for the Pasadena ReStore. San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity | Annual Report • Fiscal Year 2013

SGV Habitat’s First Homebuyer Pays Off Mortgage Our very first homebuyer now owns her home free and clear.
T
wenty years ago, Phyllis Higgins became the very first Habitat for Humanity homebuyer in Los Angeles County. She put in hundreds of hours of “sweat equity” in building her home which was the first affordable home completed by San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. This fiscal year Phyllis achieved another first! As she wrote her mortgage payment check in December, she celebrated the fact that this was her last mortgage payment. She achieved the American dream of homeownership and is debt-free!
Pasadena. Phyllis immediately seized this opportunity to apply for a home that would transform her life and bring stability to the lives of her children. Among more than 100 families who submitted applications (there was a great need then as there is now), Phyllis was selected to be a Habitat homebuyer. SGV Habitat’s Family Selection Committee was “impressed with her fierce commitment to her children and her determination to see that they got a good education.” Phyllis’s courageous step to give her children a better chance in life was made possible by caring donors who invested in her dream of owning a home.
In 1992, Phyllis, a single mother of two, was living in an apartment with her young son and daughter. As the neighborhood she was living in continued to decline, her rent continued to rise. Uncertain of what the future might hold for her and her two small children, Phyllis was looking for a way to make a change for her family. One day, Phyllis’s co-worker was listening to the radio and heard about the new affordable Habitat homeownership opportunity in
When Phyllis first learned she would be a homeowner through SGV Habitat, she shared, “It is truly an honor and a blessing to be chosen as a buyer for the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity home.” Now, Phyllis is filled with joy and thanks for her home, for all of those who made her homeownership possible, and for the difference a stable home has made for her children who are now successful young adults.
She achieved the American Dream! 12

based on house closings according to the annual survey completed by BUILDER magazine.
S
an Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity built 5 new homes and rehabilitated 19 others, helping its national organization to rank as the sixth largest builder in the U.S., according to an annual survey completed by BUILDER magazine.

The organization made an additional 2,795 house repairs to existing homes, which were not accounted for in the survey. “I’m very proud of the work of our more than 1,500 affiliates in the U.S.,” said Jonathan Reckford, Habitat for Humanity International CEO. “The fact that they are continuing to build and rehab homes in these difficult economic times is a testament to their resourcefulness and their commitment to families, affordable housing and the communities they serve. We are grateful to our donors and volunteers whose generosity makes this work possible.”
Habitat for Humanity’s unique model generated affordable homes, even during the recession.
