2011 Annual Report - Austin Habitat for Humanity

Annual report
BUILDING COMMUNITY
“I don’t build houses; they build me,” one of our regular volunteers recently told me. This is
the heart of what we do at Austin Habitat. Our work goes beyond the 23 new homes we
built, the 28 homes we repaired, and the 381 families that we educated in 2011. That’s over
432 families we served through our homeownership programs. Austin Habitat doesn’t just
build homes, we build community.
At a recent home dedication, I asked the daughter of one of our partner families how she felt
about her new home. She responded, “Habitat changed my life forever.” By truly transforming
the lives of those we serve, we continue to expand affordable homeownership opportunities
to give more working families hope. By providing affordable homes to families, we create
strong neighborhoods and increase the chance of success of our children that are our future.
With 60,000 Austin residents living in substandard housing, we have so many people to
reach. Our vision is to increase our impact – from serving hundreds of people a year to
creating sustainable
programs that serve
over 1,000 families
annually by 2015. With
every family we serve,
we grow our impact
and open our hearts.
“I don’t build houses;
they build me.”
Providing sustainable
solutions is key to our success. In 2011, the Austin Habitat ReStore diverted 1,051,393
pounds of construction materials from our landfills. Since the ReStore opened its doors in
1992, it has saved over 13,179,266 pounds of waste from our landfills.
Austin Habitat works to build homes worldwide through our support to Habitat International.
Our focus is local, but we have a global impact. We have served 178 families in Guatemala
and rural parts of Mexico. At Austin Habitat, we understand that the world of poverty housing
is a global issue, and we have the ability to make a global impact.
Our work would not be possible without the support of the community, and we are grateful for
your continuing stewardship of our mission and unyielding dedication to changing lives. We
look forward to serving even more families and building stronger communities.

Teshome and his family moved from
Ethiopia to Austin in 2008. Though
life in the United States offers many
freedoms and prospects of a better
future, the family has struggled. They moved 3 times in 3 years and had been living in
a 2-bedroom apartment where all 4 boys shared one room before moving into their new
Habitat home. Teshome wanted to make sure his sons have a stable home, get a good
education, go on to college and find successful jobs. The family is grateful to be able
to build their life in a house that is affordable and big enough for them to live
comfortably together.
It’s more than building a house,
it’s rebuilding a life
When Minda came to Austin
Habitat, her house was virtually
uninhabitable and her utility bills
were so high she couldn’t afford
them. A young woman suffering from a debilitating muscular disease, Minda didn’t let
her disease or financial situation get her down. With hope and determination, she worked
on her house and trained for a triathlon. Austin Habitat and volunteers from Texas Gas
Service gave Minda a new back door and fixed her home’s foundation, plumbing,
windows, siding, and air conditioning. So grateful for what Austin Habitat did for her,
Minda volunteers on repair projects to help others in need.

Natalie, a 28-year-old single mother, understands
how important it is for children to grow up in a stable
home and is determined to provide it for her daughters. “As long as you set a goal and work your
hardest to achieve it,” Natalie says, “you can do anything.” This is the mantra that drove her to
work toward homeownership and demonstrate to her children what it takes to be successful.
Before their Habitat house, they shared a 1-bedroom apartment. They now have a peaceful place
big enough for all of them, a yard for the kids to play in and the assurance they won’t have to
move when the rent is raised. This house has changed everything for them.

Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to eliminating poverty
and homelessness throughout the world. An important
tenet of all Habitat affiliates is to help combat global
poverty housing. Austin Habitat is proud to contribute to
international Habitat affiliates that help people in the world’s poorest communities. In 2011, we
gave $69,000 for Disaster Relief in Haiti and to affiliates in Guatemala and Mexico. We were
also honored by Habitat for Humanity International for contributing a total of $557,146 in tithe
gifts that have served 178 families. Thank you for being a part of transforming lives at home in
Austin and abroad!

RESTORE
Founded in
1992, the
Austin Habitat
ReStore was the first of its kind in the
United States. It is the model for new and
gently used building materials Habitat
stores across the nation.
Austin Habitat uses revenue from the
ReStore to support our new construction,
home repair, and housing counseling
programs. In addition to helping sustain Austin Habitat’s programs, the ReStore also protects our
environment and community. In 2011, Austin Habitat’s ReStore diverted 1,051,393 pounds of waste
from the landfill for a total of 13,179,266 pounds in our 20 year history.
One of the things ReStore shoppers love (besides the low prices) is that you never know what you’ll
find. Because we receive donations on a daily basis, our inventory changes constantly. Today there’s
a blue bathtub and a 1914 piano; tomorrow there might be a marble countertop and windows from the
Governor’s Mansion. Thanks for donating to and shopping at our ReStore!
Austin Habitat for Humanity is honored to have received the Nonprofit Award
for the 2011 Austin Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards
