VISION: A SAFE AND HEALTHY HOME FOR EVERY PERSON
OUR MISSION To bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners. Rebuilding Together is the nation’s largest volunteer organization preserving and revitalizing low-income homes and communities. In Tulsa, that means that our low income neighbors have help to refurbish and restore their homes to warmth and security. Many of our Tulsa neighbors have worked hard all their lives and have been physically and financially able to repair their own homes for most of that time. Now, as they age, they find themselves unable to do the repair work themselves, and their homes have become unsafe or unsuitable for the needs of a person who is aging or living with a disability. Repairs focus on safety, security and weatherproofing, as well as improving communities and neighborhoods. Repairs can include anything from painting to roof replacement. Rebuilding Together Tulsa offers four programs including Energy Efficiency, Safe at Home, Roofs, and R.O.O.T. (Repairs Offered Other Times). Each of these programs seeks to provide a safe, secure, and weatherproof home for low-income Tulsa homeowners. Neighborhood associations, religious, community, and social service organizations refer clients to our program. The media is also instrumental in letting the community know about our services. RTT program staff and volunteers personally visit each home that meets our eligibility criteria. Homes are repaired by volunteer teams from local corporations, businesses, community organizations, churches, synagogues, schools, etc. Skilled trades professionals assist by completing needed electrical, plumbing, carpentry or roofing repairs. Together, we can rebuild homes, rebuild neighborhoods and rebuild lives!

A message from the President
What an exciting year for Rebuilding Together Tulsa (RTT)! I am proud to share that the organization is going strong and continues to extend and expand its ability to bring volunteers and communities together, improving the homes and lives of 187 families this year. The success has not gone unnoticed. In April, RTT was nominated from over 19,000 Oklahoma nonprofits and received the distinct honor to be named category winner for the Devon Energy Corporation: “Community Award� at the fourth annual Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence (ONE) Awards. In addition, we had the pleasure of hosting a visit from the national Rebuilding Together at our successful 14th Annual Rebuild Day. This provided both the Board and Staff an op-
portunity to continue to strengthen our relationship with National and allowed for the discussion of some exciting future opportunities. Of course with growth comes the increased responsibility to raise monies and ensure the continued quality of the Board and Staff to maintain the high quality of the services RTT provides to the Tulsa Community. During the past year the organization successfully completed another audit, updated the By-laws and policies, revised the strategic plan and completed the year’s fundraising efforts with a very successful second Annual Golf Tournament. During the last 18 months I have had the honor and pleasure of serving as Chairman alongside a talented group of individuals serving on the Board of Directors. They are passionate, focused and excited about RTT, its staff and the families being served. The quality of their leadership and devotion to the organization solidifies the organization is in great hands, and the best is yet to come. So in closing I would like to thank each of you for your continued contributions, which allow Rebuilding Together Tulsa to serve the needs of so many families and their communities. PS. The Board is on the lookout for more great individuals and partners.
Brian Thomas, Board President
A message from the CEO Over the years, the need for home repairs for our neighbors living on limited incomes has continued to increase. RTT has consistently risen up to meet these needs, and last year was no different. In 2010, RTT made home repairs for 187 homeowners in Tulsa. These repairs are more than just hammers and nails. They afford homeowners the basic need of a decent home in which to raise their families or to age in place. Repairs included things such as new doors and secure door locks so they can lock their doors at night; a new wheelchair ramp built by volunteers that allows them to enter and exit their home safely, sometimes for the first time in years; a new roof that doesn’t leak so they no longer have to put buckets in their bedroom to catch the rain; attic insulation that will lower their bills and provide a warm home for their children to sleep in at night; or exterior paint that gives their home and neighborhood a fresh look! What a great year 2010 has been! Rebuilding Together Tulsa: - Ended the year serving more homeowners than ever through our four programs - Saw tremendous impact through its outcome measurement initiatives - Was recognized for its excellence at
the Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence (ONE) Awards - Was highlighted as a Silver Spotlight organization in TulsaPeople - Increased its capacity by adding AmeriCorps Service Members and a social media intern - Completed its 2nd annual audit - Held its 2nd annual golf tournament, organized by RTT’s board of directors Each of the 187 homeowners that we had the privilege to serve has a unique story and is deserving of the support provided by our generous volunteers, donors and partners. It is my hope that you will take a few moments to read about a few of them in this annual report and join us in 2012 as we continue to meet home repairs needs of our Tulsa neighbors!
Jennifer Barcus-Schafer, Chief Executive Officer

Before
After
ROOFS “The roof was leaking, but not anymore. No, not at all.”
One of the biggest needs is for roof replacement or repair. Many of the other repairs that are offered cannot be made until the roof is repaired or replaced. The Lewis Family received a new roof as a part of the Rebuilding Together Tulsa Roof program, among many other home modifications. When asked about their experience with Rebuilding Together Tulsa, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis expressed nothing but gratitude for the work that was done. Mr. Lewis was in disbelief that someone would provide these home repairs to his family at absolutely no cost. “To those who don’t believe, just take a chance. It’s very real,” Mr. Lewis said. The new roof on their house has created a more safe, secure, and weatherproof place to call 10 home.

• Wheelchair ramps • Handrails • Grab bars • ADA faucets • Lever door handles • Hand held showers • Shower seats • Raised toilets • Roll-in showers • Replace torn carpet/tiles • Other home modification repairs that provide for the safety of our homeowners
he West Family is a strong unit. They are there for each other through thick and thin. One tie that has kept the family close has been Charles West. Charles is the eldest brother in the family and resides in the home of his father. Mr. West, along with his daughter, takes care of his son, even in his old age. Charles West has been wheelchair bound for most of his life. The construction of the home limited Charles’ accessibility in and out of the West Home. Rebuilding Together Tulsa installed a brand new wheelchair ramp for the West Family on Annual Rebuild Day 2011. Charles can now have safe and easy access to his home.
“If I had ten-thousand tongues, I couldn’t tell you thank you enough for the people that come out and give up their time to help my dad. It just means so much to us. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.” 12

A WARM PLACE TO REST Dear Rebuilding Together Tulsa,
Thank you for helping our family! We greatly appreciate your assistance in making our home safer and warmer…just in time for the big blizzard! The new attic insulation has made a noticeable difference in keeping our house warmer. Our 4-year old, Skylar, often slept with his jacket on prior to the new insulation. Not necessary now, thanks to you! Having a front door that is secure and weather tight has been a relief. The new back door, replacing the broken door covered with plywood, has made the biggest difference in our lives. We now have direct access to our back yard and our driveway. We’ve been able to park in the driveway, eliminating the possibility of our vehicle being hit on the narrow street out in front. In fact, during the storms, several cars skidded out and landed just where our van would have normally been parked! The two new windows in our daughter’s room have definitely made her room warmer on these cold winter nights. It’s amazing how a few improvements can make such a difference. Thank you again for all your help. Everyone has been wonderful from beginning to end and we can’t thank you enough! Love, The Rubios Family

Offered R.O.O.T Repairs Other Times Clarabelle McLaughlin has been a Tulsa resident for 56 years. At 86 years old she resides alone in north Tulsa in a home built in the early 1900s. McLaughlin is a grandmother to 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.She kept two of her great grandchildren while her granddaughter worked until they were the ages of 5 and 1. Remaining active despite her age, McLaughlin drives and enjoys travel all over the state. Also, she is still an active member of 4 Masonic orders she joined in 1979. She is a faithful attendee of meetings once or twice a month where she serves as a Grand Officer. McLaughlin’s husband worked for a Union rig but unfortunately had to retire due to injury stemming from a beam falling on him while on the job. He was the primary caregiver of their Tulsa home but passed away in 1995. Though she did her best to keep up the home on her own, the age of the home and the grandiose nature of keeping it up caused the Tulsa home to fall into disrepair. McLaughlin is one of many Rebuilding Together Tulsa home repair recipients. On a home visit with Rebuilding Together Tulsa staff, McLaughlin proudly gave a tour of her home, showing off repairs that had already been completed. McLaughlin praised Rebuilding Together Tulsa for replacing her rotted kitchen floor, removing an old furnace, and painting the interior of her home. She received PSO funding for a handheld shower and ADA compliant door handles. Rebuilding Together Tulsa also installed energy efficient lighting in her home, allowing for less frequent maintenance and replacement. In addition, the exterior of her home received a new roof, new siding, and paint. “I’ve been over pleased with it really. They have done more than I ever expected,” McLaughlin gladly stated after completing the tour. Rebuilding Together Tulsa hopes that these home repairs will improve McLaughlin’s quality of life in her home.

COMING HOME
Mrs. Hawkins has been a Tulsa resident since 1962 and has lived in her home for 48 years. Mrs. Hawkins’ 51 year old son recently experienced a stroke that left him paralyzed on his left side and wheelchair bound. Before he became disabled, he was a mason and worked on structures including houses and mailboxes. Mrs. Hawkins was proud to show off the work her son had done on her house. Mrs. Hawkins has worked for St. John’s Hospital for 47 years. She previously retired but has gone back to work to help care for her 15 year old granddaughter while her son is living in an extensive care facility. Mrs. Hawkins will act as the caretaker of her son once he is released. However, the construction of Mrs. Hawkins’ home was not conducive to her son returning home in a wheelchair. Rebuilding Together Tulsa came in to help prepare Mrs. Hawkins’ house for her son to come home. Several repairs and modifications were made to make the home safe and wheelchair accessible. The day before repairs were made, Mrs. Hawkins said, “I don’t think I will be able to sleep. I’m just so excited!” Rebuilding Together Tulsa widened the doors in the home, made bathroom modifications including a roll-in shower, and installed new wheelchair ramps to provide safe accessibility in an out of the home. “Its unbelievable that there are such nice people in the world as these people that are helping,” Mrs. Hawkins said. Because of the repairs made on her home, Mrs. Hawkins’ family will be able to be reunited in a safe, wheelchair accessible home.

ANNUAL REBUILD
DAY APRIL
30 2011
Each year, Rebuilding Together Tulsa joins with the Rebuilding Together affiliates in a nation-wide volunteer effort to improve the lives of low-income homeowners. On April 30, 2011, volunteers came together to be a part of Rebuilding Together Tulsa’s 14th annual Rebuild Day. The volunteers worked on 14 homes in the Tulsa community. These deserving homeowners received services on their homes including new paint, yard cleanup, energy efficiency repairs, new wheelchair ramps, and much more. Mrs. Hawkins, a homeowner who was a recipient of Rebuild Day repairs stated, “Its unbelievable that there are such nice people in the world as these people that are helping.” Mrs. Hawkins’ son will be able to come home as a result of the Safe-at-Home repairs provided by RTT. At the end of the day, Mr. West, a member of another deserving family who received repairs on Rebuild Day, was able to wheel his son out on their brand new wheel chair ramp for the first time. His daughter said, “If I had ten-thousand tongues I couldn’t tell you thank you enough for the people that come out and give up their time to help my dad. It just means so much to us. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.” The 14th annual Rebuild Day was a day of volunteers from across the Tulsa community coming together for a common goal, to improve the lives of low-income Tulsa homeowners.

t 88, John Wallace may have retired from his career as a social worker, but he hasn’t retired from life. An active community volunteer who serves on the Morton Health Center board, he is independent and on the go as much as he can manage. The one thing he couldn’t manage were the needed repairs to his lifelong home. That’s why he wrote to Rebuilding Together Tulsa (RTT) in 2009 to ask for help. After all, RTT’s mission is to help aging Tulsans with limited incomes make their homes safe, secure and weatherproof. Through RTT’s Energy Efficiency program, in concert with Public Service Co. of Oklahoma, Russ Miller of Double R Construction provided attic insulation, window caulking, weather stripping and CFL bulbs, as well as sealed large gaps that had developed since the home was built in 1937. (It’s actually the second structure on the site; the first home burned to the ground. “All seven of us escaped safely, thank the Lord,” Wallace recalls. His father rebuilt around the only standing element, the chimney.) The energy repairs might have been the end. But like many RTT clients, Wallace was so genial and appreciative that Miller and his business partner/wife, Ruby, wanted to do more. So they volunteered with AmeriCorps and other volunteers to paint the kitchen, install a new storm door and gutters, provide electrical repairs and construct a new back porch. Wallace was so thrilled, he joked, “I could have a dance out here.” During the interview, he and Russ Miller excused themselves to check out the kitchen plumbing, which Miller will fix, free, just because Wallace needs it done. “We end up with our favorites, and Mr. Wallace is at the top of our list,” Miller says. He checks on Wallace and other former RTT recipients frequently. “When they get to a certain age, people forget (about them),” Miller says. Recipients may come with a long list of needs or just one item, RTT CEO Jennifer Barcus-Schafer says. Staff members help them narrow down their priorities and may add to the list when they visit

Making homes safe and secure
Russ Miller, owner of Double R Construction, works on a home repair with John Wallace, one of the older Tulsans who have been helped by Rebuilding Together Tulsa. Miller and AmeriCorps volunteers gave additional time to provide additional improvements to Wallace’s house. the home. The Energy Efficiency program is one of four RTT programs. RTT also offers Safe at Home to install wheelchair ramps and other assistive devices; Roofs, through which professionals repair or replace roofs; and R.O.O.T. (Repairs Offered Other Times), in which volunteers provide carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall and more. Repairs may be made throughout the year or on RTT’s annual Rebuild Day in April. Although Wallace contacted RTT himself, generally neighborhood associations and religious, community and social service organizations refer clients to the program. RTT is also conducting pilot projects in the Kendall-Whittier and Hawthorne neighborhoods, which may include households of any age. Whatever the situation, “We’re trying to put together the pieces of a wonderful homeowner experience, great volunteers and use the funders’ money wisely,” Barcus-Schafer says. “We need all three of those things to fit together perfectly to have the perfect experience.” Of his own home, Wallace says, “It was a lifesaver, and without their help, I could not have had these things done. I appreciated it and was happy they could do it and were available.”
Rebuilding Together Tulsa (RTT) was founded in 1997 to address the homerepair needs of aging citizens who were living on limited incomes. That year, RTT repaired six homes on the last Saturday in April. The tradition of the annual Rebuild Day has continued but now focuses on an entire neighborhood. Additionally, more than 500 volunteers make home repairs yearround as part of four programs: Roofs, Safe at Home, Energy Efficiency and R.O.O.T. This year, more than 175 homeowners will have home repairs made to their houses that will make them safer, more secure and weatherproof so the owners can continue living in them.

IMPACT STATEMENT Rebuilding Together Tulsa evaluates results the following ways
Outputs Do outputs (number of homes repaired) reflect the proven need in the community. Proven need can be measured by the number of homeowners in the waiting pool and statistics (i.e. number of low-income homeowners in Tulsa, number of sub-standard houses in Tulsa).
Outcomes The following outcomes are tracked related to home repair programs: a.
Short-Term Measurement: making sure that homes are made safer, more secure and weatherproof for the homeowner; improve neighborhoods
b.
Mid-Term Measurement: End sub-standard housing
(Tracking Outcomes) a.
Both qualitative and quantitative information is collected.
All programs are measured through qualitative data collected in client satisfaction surveys.
All repairs are measured quantitatively and qualitatively through data collected on site visits by trained volunteers and program staff.
Energy efficiency repairs have quantitative data collected through a sample of blower door tests and energy bill comparisons.
Lead based paint is determined through lead paint testing prior to and after each project in compliance with EPA regulations effective April 22, 2010.
b.
Measured through annual follow-up surveys to the homeowner.
c.
Measured using Census data or other data available (i.e. INCOG analysis) and reviewed every dive years with strategic planning.
Efficiency To ensure the best use of resources available, Rebuilding Together Tulsa uses volunteer labor and donated or discounted materials when possible. Efficiency is measured by comparing to the value to the community compared to dollars spent. On average, Rebuilding Together Tulsa puts $2 back into the community for every $1 spent.
27
IMPACT RESULTS 2010-2011 Outputs Total: R.O.O.T: 38 Roofs: 39 Energy Efficiency (EE): 163 Safe at Home: 25 At the end of the fiscal year, 187 homeowners were served and there were 76 homeowners in the waiting pool for home repairs. Rebuilding Together Tulsa has been able to increase its capacity and increase its outputs annually and exceeded its anticipated goal of 160 homeowners served by 27. In Tulsa City Limits, there are almost 55,000 low-income homeowners (US Census). There are 8,241 homes in Tulsa City Limits that are considered sub-standard and an additional 16,598 considered fair that can become sub-standard if home repairs are not addressed (INCOG).
Outcomes a. Quantitative All Programs- Through homeowner feedback surveys: • • • •
100% of the homes have been made safer 100% off the homes are more weatherproof 100% of the homes are more secure 100% of the homeowners state they have seen neighborhood improvement
Energy Efficiency- In 2011, Rebuilding Together Tulsa provided 163 homeowners with energy efficiency measures such as installing insulation sealing air leaks, replacing doors and windows, installing CFL light bulbs and replacing air filters. The result was that these 163 homeowners saved 49,000 kWh over the course of a year. This translates into an average savings of almost $300 for each homeowner on their electricity bill, which is 2% of the average income for RTT Clients Qualitative Client Satisfaction: Homeowner satisfaction is tracked through the collection of qualitative data. Quotes from homeowners who received home repair services can be found throughout this report along with client spotlights. b. 2010-2011: 186 out of 187 homeowners remained living in their home. 1 of the 187 passed away after the repairs were completed c. This is tracked using Census data or other available reports. Since this started being tracked in 2003, access to a follow-up report, such as the one completed by INCOG about sub-standard housing, has not been available. Rebuilding Together Tulsa is discussing avenues to procure such a report Efficiency $4,020.54 Average cost per home; $6,912.24 Average value per home Volunteers: 460 Total Cash Expenditures: See Financial Report (page 29) Total Value back to the Tulsa community: $1,402,714
