People in my own family can’t help me, but total strangers are willing to spend an entire day doing something for someone they don’t even know.” - PWC Client Diann Lovins Widower LC Reece, 82, of Northside said that the volunteers who helped repair his back door and porch are “irreplaceable.” “If I could do it myself, I would,” he said. “But my body just doesn’t do what Jenette Bryant of Union Township with Spirit of America’s India Davis. my mind tells it anymore.

In our 33 years, we have yet to encounter a similar non-profit that offers home repairs, modifications and energy conservation to low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners as a comprehensive package. Eighty plus full-time professionals matched with 6,000 volunteers — each with the heart and a passion to help their most vulnerable neighbors. Out of this passion to make a true and meaningful difference emerged PWC’s Modifications for Mobility Program. While we’ve talked about this program for a few years, you might be surprised to know that this once small part of PWC’s business model is growing and taking on a significant role in the way we deliver services. We are meeting needs that were hidden for so long, but so vital to the people we serve. The program has grown five-fold in three years and we are constantly assessing how we can do more to meet this critical service need . Almost everyone knows someone who, because of old age, an accident or illness, finds themselves unable to navigate around their home. Imagine if you couldn’t use your own bathroom... or get out of your own home because of steps. What are you supposed to do? PWC provides real, cost-effective answers. We can install ramps chair lists, widen doorways, lower cabinets, and even put light switches within easy reach. PWC has never pretended to have all the answers for every problem or every client. But we can fix a house and modify it so a client can safely live in their own home. We’re a unique organization with a unique solution to at least some of the region’s housing problems. By keeping at-risk elderly and disabled homeowners in their homes, we can keep neighborhoods thriving and viable. With your help, our programs are growing, thriving and serving more people each and every day. Thank you for helping us make a difference in 2007. fyi ‘07 MODIFICATIONS FOR MOBILITY 249 clients served in 175 homes • 44% African American • 55% Caucasian • >1% Other • Assessments 93 • Bathroom modifications 19 • Exterior modifications 8 • Kitchen modifications 1 • Handrails/ grab bars 76 • Ramps 33 • Stair lifts 4 • Chair/lift/ ramp repairs 7 • Misc. interior repair 2 Total: 249 4 2007 PWC Annual Report building a ramp at Repair Affair fyi disability rising T here is a tremendous need for PWC’s Modifications program in the greater Cincinnati area. According to the 2000 US Census, 17% of the non-institutionalized population in our service region ages five and up have a disability. The number jumps to 40% of the population at age 65 and older. In Cincinnati alone: • 53,921 residents over age five have a disability; • 11, 775 households with people who have mobility or self-care limitations have incomes below 50% of area family income; • Approximately 60% of those families have housing problems (paying more than 30% of their income, overcrowded, or no kitchen or plumbing facilities); • 8,310 households with people with mobility or self-care limitations have incomes below 30% of median income. ...we recycle ramps, too: Of the 33 ramps PWC installed in 2007, six were later recovered and reinstalled on other projects. Thankfully, not all of these have been returned due to the passing away of a client. One ramp was installed for a client who needed it to go to therapy, and with therapy, he regained the use of his legs and no longer needed the wheelchair or the ramp! The ramp was removed and given to an elderly woman who is wheelchair bound. Clients Real help for real people. Retired coal miner finds new beginning photo by Gordon Morioka PWC’s Sara Bougeois checks on client Estil Partin of Price Hill and his daughter, Rhonda Partin Sharp. Rhonda Partin-Sharp was horror struck when she received the call from Adult Protective Services, informing her that they suspected her father was being abused. She had been removed from her elderly father’s life by his caretaker, a family member, a few years before. She had fought to see him to no avail... and now she knows why. All of his money was gone. Taken by his caregiver over the period of many months, while her father - and his home - literally deteriorated. “When I got to his house I just couldn’t believe it... it was almost falling down,” she said. “The porch was rotting, and he couldn’t use the toilet because the floor had rotted away. He was in such bad shape and because of my health problems, I can’t help much.” Adult Protective Services suggested that Partin-Sharp call PWC to see if the home could be repaired. “It was in pretty bad shape,” said Modifications for Mobility Manager John Hay. “ The bathroom was unusable... he had been using a bucket. The front porch was detaching from the house. It was so unsafe, and he was very frail. The whole situation was heart-breaking.” The toilet and bathroom were quickly repaired. A new porch was built and an aluminum ramp was installed. Freezing rain and thick mud did little to stop PWC employees Sara Bougeois and Brad Staggs from quickly installing the lightweight ramp - which instantly gave Mr. Partin the ability to get in and out of the home with ease. “There are so many people who wouldn’t believe that someone in Cincinnati has these living conditions, but we see it all of the time,” said Bougeois. “He’s really a very sweet, proud person who has worked hard his whole life... then has it taken away. You want to help.” A retired coal miner, Mr. Partin spent several weeks in the hospital this spring recovering from pneumonia, but is now well enough to sit on his new porch, ride his scooter down the ramp and out to occasional weekend visits to the local flea market - a hobby he treasures. “I built this porch myself 30 years ago. But the work they did was just as good,” he said with a smile on a bright spring morning. “Real professional. “I just didn’t know what to do (before PWC). I had nothing left. My wife was gone. My own (family) took from me. So I can’t believe that these folks took the time to help someone like me. They were out here in the rain. Sure something to see. I appreciate it. I’m grateful.” “PWC saved my father’s life,” said Partin-Sharp. “I’m sure of it. “ 2007 PWC Annual Report 5 Donors & Volunteers Pay it forward Jim Ramsey + Bill Sedwick= friends, volunteers & donors It’s a warm spring afternoon a PWC project in St. Bernard, and long-time field service volunteers Jim Ramsey and Bill Sedwick are knee deep in some very dry humor. “Hey Bill, had enough of digging latrines?” Jim cracks. “ That’s what you get for retiring from P&G!” Their warmth for each other and their passion for PWC’s mission is self evident in the care they take with every project. Both retired from Procter & Gamble, the pair has volunteered for PWC a total of 13 years (Sedwick started in late 2001, Ramsey in 2002) volunteering almost weekly, or whenever they get the call. “I had retired in Feb. 2002 and had been looking for a volunteer opportunity,” said Ramsey. “I saw a friend with a ‘Repair Affair’ T-shirt and I asked, ‘What’s that?’ He told me and it sounded interesting. We called, came in for a visit, and were ‘hired’ on the spot.” The years volunteering together have resulted in many memories - and a lot of humor. “The bond is that we all share the same interest and objectives for the home owners,” Sedwick, 64, noted. “A lot of us have gotten to know and like each other at PWC and on repair trips to the Gulf Coast. The humor comes naturally - we provide the ammunition daily by our job approaches! “Probably the most memorable jobs are those where we have formed a real bond with the homeowners. Of particular note... a house in Northern Kentucky where we installed an outside 6 2007 PWC Annual Report Bill Sedwick (left) and Jim Ramsey are long-time volunteers who donate to PWC’s Endowment Fund & Annual Support Campaign. Photos by Mark Bowen railing system on the front porch. The husband had started the project several years before but had gotten sick and the city was giving them grief about the appearance. He ‘supervised’ us through the installation - several days - and it turned out great - the wife baked us each of us the best pumpkin pie I have ever had!” Stepping up from volunteer to donor was natural to the pair - the more they became involved, the more they saw the need for support. “I am committed to the work that PWC does,” said Ramsey, 59. “However, I was not a donor of any significance until this year. Honestly, I saw that Bill was a donor, and I said “I can do this too.” My wife and I have been blessed with having more than “enough,” so we are looking at ways to give back. I gave to the endowment so our gift will continue to contribute to PWC’s work.” “I have always been a United Fund supporter through my working career so had the “habit” of giving to charitable organizations,” said Sedwick. “Made sense to my wife and me to continue giving but give directly to organizations we are actively involved in. It is easy to see the donations at work every day we volunteer.” “As long as I can do the work, I will stay involved with PWC and the Field Service Volunteer Program. For me, the program is set up extremely well,” said Ramsey. “I have not met anyone at PWC who does not have a special commitment to the clients and have not gone out of their way to make the volunteers feel important to the overall effort... In general, I am touched by the real need that there is...right here in our own community, and the gratitude of our clients for even a little help.” photo by Gordon Morioka In 2007... • Provided 11,674 home repair, modifications, energy and maintenance services to 6,252 households. • Program costs were 87% of total expenses, while administrative and fund-raising costs were 13%.

It began as a CETA work program to provide energy conservation services to low-income households. In providing those services it soon became apparent that many of the homes also drastically needed home repairs. The program expanded to include home repairs, and has continued to grow for over 33 years, to where we now provide home repair, energy conservation, home modifications, maintenance, and energy conservation education to homeowners’ in 14 counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. SERVICES: PWC focuses on basic living essentials – heat, running water, working toilets, solid roofing and other repairs that keep a home safe and habitable. We also provide home modifications for the elderly and persons with disabilities so that their homes are accessible, safe for the residents, and provide them with the ability to live independently. We implemented an effort we call the “Whole House” strategy, as set forth in our Strategic Plan. When possible, we combine funds from various sources to provide the most comprehensive approach to the structure’s overall needs, including home modifications. This reduces our overall costs by reducing multiple visits by different crews (plumbing, carpentry, electrical, HVAC, etc.) We are continually cross training our staff and volunteers so that we have multi-disciplined crews serving the homeowners’ needs and looking out for any additional repair needs in the home. STAT RECAP: PWC provided over 11,674 services to 6,252 households, assisting 12,836 individuals. Of those, 3,416 households were headed by someone over 60 years of age, 1,884 households included a person with a disability. 3,577 individuals served had a disability. In providing those services, almost 6,000 volunteers pitched in to help us meet our mission. STAFF: Our work force is unique. Our staff and volunteers reflect a broad demographic, not solely motivated by monetary reward. It is not only the quality of work that matters; it is the compassionate, respectful, personal delivery of the service. FUNDERS: Our services are supported by Duke Energy, Ohio Department of Development, Kentucky Housing Corporation, City of Cincinnati, Hamilton, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties, the City of Middletown, the Federal Home Loan Bank, United Ways of Greater Cincinnati, Butler County, and Warren County, numerous other foundations and corporations. Supporting us with volunteer labor were Duke Energy, Spirit of America Bank, Viox Services, Messer Construction, Fifth Third Bank, Church of the Redeemer, Vineyard Church, Home Depot, Home Builders Association, Humana, and many others. AWARDS: In recognition of our work, PWC was a finalist in the Better Business Bureau’s Torch Award for Business Ethics, and was runner up in the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce Small Business Excellence Award – Nonprofit Category. 10 2007 PWC Annual Report fyi Going Green Energy manager Tony Gray displays a low flow faucet aerator.
