every cause needs a great leader
A Word from Our Director Hello Friends On behalf of the team here at Houston Habitat for Humanity, a heartfelt thank you to all who have supported our mission, be it through your time, your talent, and/or your treasures. We would not be able to fulfill our vision of “a world where everyone has a decent place to live” without you. In 2015, we celebrated many successes! Over 175 Habitat Homeowners paid off their mortgages! 2015 was also the year we broke ground on our 1,000th house! With such a memorable milestone, we invited Habitat for Humanity’s first volunteer, Clive Rainey to be our keynote speaker at our Annual Breakfast. Clive’s history with Habitat is very strong. Since 1977, Clive has been a champion for the Habitat mission; he brought the concept of “Sweat Equity” to the organization, a type of partnership that used a family’s unskilled labor on their house in lieu of a down payment. Today “Sweat Equity” is a key part of every Habitat Build in 80 countries worldwide. Clive later became Habitat’s first Africa Director, and has since “retired” to Guatemala, where he is still engaged in volunteer activities; including supporting Habitat Guatemala and serving with a ministry that rescues homeless children from the streets. As one of 8 out of over 1,300 affiliates that have reached the milestone of building 1,000 homes, Houston Habitat remains committed to partnering with low- to moderate-income homebuyers achieve strength, stability and independence through shelter. Another component of our celebration was an “Affordable Housing Symposium” presented in part with the City of Houston, to have a dialogue between community leaders about housing, health and education issues and where they intersect. The Habitat model of a “hand up, not a hand out” plays a significant role in that sector of our society that often gets missed. So, when we have capable homebuyers who are self-sustaining, opportunities to engage with entrepreneurs – store owners and coffee shop, etc. back into the neighborhoods, it only strengthens the great city we live in. What we are doing with the community puts us right there on the ground; some are new neighborhoods, but then there are some in-fields, where we are working with existing neighbors, and giving support to the entrepreneurs that are already there. And we are working to engage with the churches in the community. We built a “Pope Francis House” in tribute to the Pope’s visit to the U.S., and were able to form a rich and lasting relationship with the Archdiocese of Houston – Galveston. Our year did not come without challenges. The Memorial Day Floods and the Halloween Floods in 2015 tested our resources in building and home repair. It slowed our pace, but not our spirit. We continue to build with families that are willing and determined to thrive. Clive Rainey said as he recounted a story of a Habitat Homeowner: “Once I put that hammer in my hand… slowly, surely, I learned to nail the nail, I learned to do the dry wall; I learned to help build my house. And as I was building my house, I was building me…” We continue to pray for low-income families living in a constant state of uncertainty. We pray that the Habitat stories we tell and the mission we share will move people of means to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Thank you for supporting Houston Habitat. Allison Hay Executive Director “Even in success the victory is never finished. Your gift is an investment that never stops earning.” Clive Rainey

of Strength: The story of Lesley Williams “Oh my God, my heart, my mind...My whole body went to totally different place.” Lesley Williams has overcome incredible odds-homelessness, job instability. But the very worst was when her little girl Hannah was struck by cancer. “My daughter had a seizure. She was then diagnosed with Stage 3 brain cancer.” Her daughter’s now a courageous 5-year cancer survivor. “There were times when Habitat helped me. I was really lost, and I didn’t know what to do.” In 2011, Lesley moved into her Houston Habitat home. Since then, her four kids have had stability and a warm place to call home. “I just really wanted a stable foundation--Thank you, God. Nobody but God.” Lesley said that Habitat has taught her about personal financial management for her longterm success. “I’ve learned how to be a better steward.” Her next big project--building a handicapped bathroom for Hannah. Lesley has a heartfelt sense of knowing the real priorities in life, after enduring the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent. “The big things I want for my family are long life and health, happiness, peace-of-mind, love for yourself and love for others.”

Pope Francis Build
POPE FRANCIS HOUSE PROJECT When Sergio immigrated to the United States from El Salvador 20 years ago, he was in pursuit of a better life for himself and his wife, Xenia and their 3 children. He found work as a carpenter, but he could only afford a onebedroom apartment. With apparent drug activity in the area, Sergio realized that he could not raise his children in such and environment. He wanted better for his family. One day he heard a local news story about Houston Habitat, and it was then that he renewed his hope. They attended a Habitat information session, applied for the homeownership program, and were approved. They knew it would not be easy, but this time they looked at their challenges with the faith and optimism that makes the hard work worth the effort. “It’s always been our dream to provide our children a house in which they can feel proud and we can show them their parents work hard to provide them a better life,” Sergio said, who worked on several Habitat houses that would eventually be occupied by friends he would call his neighbors. During the process, an anonymous donor challenged Houston Habitat for Humanity to build a house in honor of Pope Francis, prompting a partnership with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston that builds on faith. Together, they deployed over 350 volunteers across 6 weekends to help the “Pope Francis House.” Sergio and e Xenia set about putting in their 300 sweat equity hours to this house as well, not knowing at the time that it would be theirs. Kyle Smith of the Young Catholic Professionals of Houston found the project to be inspirational. "When we put our faith into action, we inevitably grow in love for our neighbor because we make a true gift of ourselves," Kyle said. "Pope Francis has always challenged young adults to share their gifts and talents, to never settle for mediocrity and to walk on a path of holiness." When asked what their favorite part about building their home was, Sergio and Xenia looked at each other and exclaimed, “Everything!” Xenia and Sergio continued, “To put even one nail in our family’s future home was such a blessing. We always wanted a house of our own but never imagined having the opportunity to own a brand new home. Houston Habitat gave us that opportunity.”

2016 Highlight: KPRC Build The KPRC house build was a roaring success, in no small part to the careful and diligent work of our construction crew. Their hard work makes a huge difference in the success and enjoyment of our volunteer experience, and I would like to thank all of them for making the extra effort everyday to complete successful builds. Here are just a few of the many responses we received form the KPRC volunteers on the excellence of our construction crew.

BEST FRIENDS “A man’s’ soul can be judged by the way he treats his dog.” - Charles Doran Meet native Houstonian Nick and his beloved, pup, “Cashmere.” Nick is a young homeowner—just 23 years old and so excited to have his own home. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of being independent and on my own.
This is the biggest blessing that’s ever come my way.” Nick’s new home now means he can give his dog Cashmere a good backyard and much better place to play. “I just love him to death. He’s a laid-back and relaxed dog.” For many Habitat first homeowners, getting a pet is one of the first things they set out to do. A new Habitat home gives them the space and backyard to making it an ideal life for a family pet.

2015 Women Build The life changing process for one future Habitat Homeowner began with the help of over 175 women from all over the Greater Houston area. Every day, they came strong, willing to spend their time hammering away to help build this home for Vivian right before her eyes! They erected interior and exterior walls; applied sheathing and installed blue board around the house; cut out windows and doors; began kitchen, bath and closet blocking; raised roof trusses and more! Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers were among those who joined Houston Habitat for Humanity to address the need for affordable housing in the Houston area as part of Habitat’s National Women Build Week; traditionally held the first week of May leading up to Mother’s Day. National Women Build Week is a weeklong event created by Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program that challenges women to devote at least one day to help build affordable housing in their local communities. The week also spotlights the homeownership challenges faced by women. Lowe’s donated nearly $2 million nationally and provided the support of Lowe’s Heroes, who also conducted how-to clinics at stores to teach volunteers construction skills. More than 300 Habitat for Humanity affiliates around the country hosted Women Build events in 2015.
