Growth is on our Horizon CEO and Board Chair Message This past year at Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver has been a time of exciting change. Some transformation happens naturally while other changes are brought about as a result of the conscious decision and efforts of people who can envision something different, something better. We at Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver, through the extraordinary commitment of over 300 volunteers, community partners, staff and our Board of Directors are shaping a future toward building a better tomorrow for families.

A very special thank you is extended to our partner families who so willingly share their experiences, often reliving emotional moments that have transformed their lives.

Our family’s voices capture what is possible when you, our community partners and volunteers, give us the power to change lives for the better and end the cycle of poverty.

During this time of transformation, we are grateful for the commitment and dedication of our entire team in keeping us on track with our core mission: to mobilize volunteers and community partners in building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Tim Clark Interim CEO

This year’s Annual Report serves two purposes: to celebrate our accomplishments and to set the stage for the future. So what’s next for Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver?

Since the appointment of our interim CEO last October, we’ve been talking about what should be important to Habitat over the next 10 years. It has been through this process of reflection and open dialogue that we will form a strategy that embarks on a model of sustainability, accountability, collaboration with our community partners, and work towards a measurable impact. Values are potentially more important today than ever before. Transparency and accountability to you — our donors, community partners, volunteers, family partners, and staff, will help us become a stronger organization: building more homes for more families.

The changes we are experiencing — while challenging and complex — are vital to positioning us to move forward in order to lend a “hand up” to more families. So to our Board, ReStore and Society staff, volunteers and community partners, we say a great big thank-you.

As drivers of change; self-sustainability and environmental impact is at the forefront of our decision making. Because of our commitment to donor accountability we can proudly say 100% of our operational costs are paid for from the net sales of our ReStores: allowing all donated funds to go directly towards our build fund. A social enterprise at its finest.

Joanne Campbell Board Chair

There is a growing sense of excitement among our Board members, staff, donors, and volunteers as plans are being made to expand our ReStores in order to build more homes. With the recent opening of our third ReStore, in North Vancouver, and over the next few months, the renovation of our Vancouver and Burnaby ReStores; growth is on our horizon.

Building a Better Tomorrow for Families Housing Model Habitat for Humanity is different from other affordable housing options.

It starts with a partner family contributing 500 hours of “sweat equity” towards building their home. We offer low-income working families a “hand up, not a hand out.” Our partner families are empowered by becoming owners of property. They buy the homes we build at fair market value, through a no-interest mortgage and with no down-payment. Habitat families have stability and security in knowing they do not pay more than 30% of family income for mortgage payments, insurance and property taxes. This “hand up” gives them a home they can afford, a chance to add to savings, and a way to break free from the cycle of poverty.

Habitat for Humanity works because we bring together community, businesses and volunteers to build safe, decent, affordable homes that are completely paid for by the time they are built. Mortgage payments are reinvested directly into a fund to build more Habitat for Humanity homes, known as the Fund for Humanity. This revolving fund leverages current mortgage payments into more homes for more low-income families. Over time, the Fund for Humanity will grow into a sustainable funding source, reducing the need for outside funding sources. It is one more way that Habitat for Humanity’s partner families give back to their community.

But what really sets Habitat for Humanity apart from all other affordable housing options is the return to taxpayers on an investment in Habitat’s affordable homeownership homes. Other housing options leave families continuing to depend on taxpayers to subsidize the annual operating costs for their social housing units. With Habitat for Humanity, our partner families not only assume responsibility for the cost of running and maintaining their homes, they pay back taxpayers as much as $3,600 on average through property taxes each year.

Being part of the Habitat family has enriched our lives in so many ways,” said Lisa. “With all our hearts, we thank each and every single person who was involved with Habitat for Humanity for making this dream of a home for us come true.

Power to Change Lives for the Better Partner Family Selection Criteria There are three criteria to qualify for a Habitat home: 1. Need for affordable housing. The family income is within the recognized government-set low-income guidelines for their particular region and inadequate living conditions exist in terms of structure, cost, safety or size, 2. Ability to repay a Habitat mortgage. The family requires a stable income sufficient to cover the monthly mortgage payments and other expenses that come with homeownership. Household income must fall between predetermined minimums and maximums based on family size; and 3. Willingness to partner with Habitat. Families are required to invest 500 hours of “sweat equity” which serves to build selfesteem, pride of ownership, and a feeling of community.

Selection Process

FIRST SCREENING

FIRST INTERVIEW

CREDIT CHECK/INCOME VERIFICATION

HOME VISIT

How Partner Families are Chosen Each family is required to complete a detailed application form, which is then screened by our Family Selection Committee, a staff-supported group of volunteers who represent all aspects of society.

Family finances and credit ratings are carefully reviewed before the committee members interview the family in their home. References provided by the family are checked and communication is made with the landlord and employers.

Once selected, an agreement is signed and the family is required to volunteer 500 hours of sweat equity before they are eligible to purchase their home.

We offer many ways to complete the sweat equity hours including helping in the ReStore, assisting in fundraising efforts, labouring on someone else’s home and, of course, working on their own home.

Families are required to attend workshops to help them learn about the responsibilities of homeownership. They cover topics such as setting goals, budgeting, use of credit, problem solving and how to be part of a strata. They are designed to prepare the family for the financial, property and community responsibilities that come with owning a home.

Lending a “hand up” to More Families Benefits to Partner Families and the Larger Community Habitat for Humanity provides access to a simple, decent home through a no-interest, no down payment mortgage, making affordable homeownership possible for low-income Greater Vancouver Families each year.

Over time, the families’ equity in their home increases. Habitat families can often see an improvement in their financial situation since the percentage of their income being spent on housing remains at 30 percent. Prior to purchasing a Habitat home many of these families spend over 50-70 percent of their income on rent.

A safe, healthy living environment contributes to the positive growth and development of the family. Studies sponsored by Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and The University of Guelph in 2004 and 2012 have provided strong evidence that Habitat families become healthier, happier, experience improvements in education and financial position, and are contributors to the community rather than reliant on government assistance.

Habitat projects also offer an opportunity for community members, of all walks of life, to come together and work side by side in a meaningful way.

Pride of ownership leads to a renewed sense of confidence, and along with their stable, long-term housing arrangement, they become longterm contributors to the community and the local economy.

Celebrating Our Accomplishments Government Street and Cordova Street 8745 Government Street, Phase 6 completed June 2013

Six excited families took ownership of their homes in the final phase of our Government Street project. The Home Dedication Celebration took place on June 27, 2013 and it was an emotional moment as Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver provided partner families with a “hand up” to set them on a path to success.

With the completion of this final phase, 27 Habitat Families and 41 children will be united in a townhouse community, complete with a wheelchair accessible playground.

This marks a significant milestone for Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver as this was the first build site for our affiliate as we expanded from a primarily volunteer driven organization.

Without the outstanding commitment of an incredible number of community donors, sponsors and volunteers, homeownership would not be possible for our partner families. This opportunity will truly make a difference in their lives and is another reminder how invaluable our mission is to the Greater Vancouver community.

66 West Cordova Street In a partnership with Vancity, the Vancity Community Foundation, and Westbank, four families are enjoying the benefits of affordable homeownership in urban downtown Vancouver.

Setting the Stage for the Future Upcoming Build – Ash Street 8180 Ash Street, Richmond

Linda Reid, MLA for Richmond East and Tim Clark, Interim CEO, Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver.

In collaboration with BC Housing, Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver will take ownership of land at 8180 Ash Street in Richmond in June of 2013. Our goal is to raise enough funds to start breaking ground in late 2013.

This will be a new and unique project for Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver. Six decent and affordable single family homes will be built. In addition, each will have their own affordable rental suite as a mortgage helper. All twelve families will fit our selection criteria and benefit from affordable payments, indexed to their income based on our Habitat for Humanity housing model.

To further enhance lives, this build will also be our first project to include a trade apprenticeship training program for those seeking to increase their job prospects in the construction industry.

This new building model will create broad community impact on a number of levels which we look to replicate as we expand throughout the Lower Mainland.

There is a growing sense of excitement among our Board members, staff, donors, and volunteers as plans are being made to expand… in order to build more homes.

A Great Big Thank-You Build Site Dedication comes in many ways to Habitat for Humanity. We are always grateful for all the efforts of our volunteers, however, once in a while we are knocked off our feet by the energy, expertise, and selflessness that our volunteers consistently give.

Hundreds of individuals have contributed to the completion of our Government Street project. A special shout out to Gail Clark, Elizabeth Neufeld, Tyson Sully, Dave Russell, Al Louie, Paul Unruh, DJ Devries, Rick Siebel and James McGuirk for their tireless commitment to building Phase 6.

And to Al Deby and Carl Eden who have worked on Government Street since its initiation with Phase 1 in 2000, they are our superstars!

To our friends and confidants, Al, Carl and our entire volunteer team - thank you for building homes and hope in our community.

Al Deby

Carl Eden

5000+ Hours and Counting.

5000+ Hours and Counting.

Al Deby, a man who has been described as a true companion, reliable, fearless, hardworking, and kind, has dedicated 17 years to building homes for those who are in need of a “hand up”. Seventeen years! With the exception of the odd electrical and plumbing details, Al has worked on every component of our habitat homes; framing, insulating, roof work, concrete pouring, landscaping, etc. You name it he’s done it — and well.

When ground was broken on the very first phase of Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver’s Burnaby townhouse complex in the year 2000, Carl Eden was there with his tools.

“Al may be 83, but he can work circles around any 25-year old. He’s a hard worker and gets along with everyone and is capable of doing a number of different jobs.” says Wayne Carrick, Habitat for Humanity ReStore staff and former build site supervisor.

“For me it was all about getting out of the house and staying active once I was retired. I spent my working life in the airline industry as an aircraft mechanic, so when I retired this kind of work was a natural for me… it’s kept me active and given me an opportunity to work with some great people. ” Carl says.

In addition to his build site presence, Al has volunteered numerous hours at our Burnaby ReStore over the years. He’s a mentor and role model to our fleet of volunteers and we are incredibly indebted to Al for his tireless commitment to Habitat and our families. He has helped build all six phases of our Government Street project in Burnaby, which has placed 27 families with a total of 41 children in safe and decent homes.

Carl has shown up week after week putting in countless hours to the Government Street project. Committing three days a week, Carl has put in some of the highest recorded hours on the build site. Although he can be a quiet guy, Carl is a man that is to the point and gets things done – an incredible resource for our team. We don’t know what we would do without him and we hope to continue to have his expertise as we expand into Richmond, BC.

Carl has been volunteering ever since and now some 13 years later Carl can feel proud of the efforts he has put in to help 27 Habitat for Humanity families become homeowners.

They are the ones we rely on, we trust them, and they always do a great job. They work hard and never ask for anything in return.

Social Enterprise at its Finest ReStore

The ReStore is an exclusive brand to North America. The first Canadian ReStore opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1991. There are now 69 ReStores across Canada.

ReStores accept and resell quality new and lightly used home products from consumers as well as end-of-line, scratch-and-dent, discontinued inventory, paint mis-tints, and customer returns from retailers and manufacturers at 50-80% off retail prices. Much of what is sold would otherwise end up in a landfill. In Greater Vancouver alone, our stores help to keep 1,800 tons of waste from going to our landfills each year.

What you need to know about ReStores:

Community Partnerships + Environmental Accountability + 100% of Operational Costs Covered = Building More Homes

•• All products are donated by individuals and businesses in the community.

•• Revenue raised covers 100% of Habitat for Humanity operations and contributes to the building of new homes.

•• Three Greater Vancouver ReStore locations. Vancouver, Burnaby and North Vancouver with plans to expand.

•• Volunteers fill the majority of our positions at the ReStores, including cashiers, floor assistants, inventory control, and warehouse personnel.

Self-Sustainability and Environmental Impact ReStore Be Inspired to Volunteer – Meet Al

Helping the Region Answer the Zero Waste Challenge •• Metro Vancouver has set ambitious targets for the reduction of solid waste entering landfills. The ultimate target is ‘zero waste’ for the region, and in the interim, this initiative requires incremental improvements.

•• Habitat for Humanity ReStores play a significant role in reducing the flow of surplus and waste construction material to Metro Vancouver landfills. In 2012 more than 1,200 tons of material that would have been trucked to landfills, was resold and recycled at ReStores in Burnaby and Vancouver.

5600+ Hours and Counting.

•• Habitat for Humanity ReStores diligently recycle: cardboard, plastics, Styrofoam, metal, wiring and electronics are all separated and recycled appropriately — we dismantle aged appliances to ensure all recyclable components are retrieved before anything goes to the landfill.

We are always looking for volunteers to help run our ReStores. A simple 4 hours per week can help change lives.

Al is no stranger to helping – he’s invested more than 5600 hours volunteering at our Vancouver ReStore since he started in 2007. That’s nearly 3 years of full time work, volunteered!

•• Habitat for Humanity ReStores support municipalities in their quest to be green and environmentally sustainable, while fulfilling the mandate to “increase the supply of adequate, appropriate, and affordable housing,” which in turn improves the quality of life in the community.

Al has a long list of volunteer experience, dating back to his youth in Atlantic Canada. In addition to his incredible commitment with Habitat for Humanity, Al visits the downtown Eastside three times a week to volunteer and assist at the Catholic Church.

•• On target to divert 1,800 tons of waste material from Metro Vancouver landfills for 2013 because of donations and sales at our ReStores.

“I’m happiest being involved and helping others. Volunteering at Habitat for Humanity has given me a sense of purpose and I’m giving back to society.” Al said. Al encourages everyone to find their purpose. “All people are important, because all people are unique and have special value. They need to recognize that value.”

He believes in the work he does at Habitat for Humanity and enjoys working with the other staff and volunteers. “It has a personable feel,” he says, “make time in your life with the people you want to share time with.”

Al’s main responsibilities at Habitat are in the shipping and receiving where he sorts donated items determining what needs repair. Occasionally he assists on the retail floor sharing his smiles, sense of humour and expertise with our customers.

Our Habitat family is richer for Al’s dedication and we look forward to the next 5600 hours together. Thanks Al!

Our dedicated volunteers are the heart and pulse of our organization.

Global Village During spring break, most high school students spend the time relaxing at home or catching up on movies. However, a group of 15 students chose to spend their spring break working to put a roof over a strangers head in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

St. John’s School is located in Kitsilano. Service is one of the major pillars on which the school stands. Since 2006, Mr. Sukhbir Bolina, a staff member at the school has proudly organised Global Village trips with Habitat for Humanity. These service trips to various developing parts of the world offer the students many life lessons that are difficult to teach in the classroom. Over the years, the trips have become an integral part of the school that Grade 11 and 12 students look forward to every year.
