Recognizes and Honors
Larrie Del Martin
I
n mid-May, the YWCA paid tribute to
Larrie Del Martin, Atlanta Habitat
executive director, by enrolling her in the
2007 Class of the Academy of Women
Achievers. Larrie Del was honored with
nine other Atlanta women who
“represent what every young girl hopes
she can and will become with
opportunity and support.” Members of
the Academy include Jane Fonda, Mayor
Shirley Franklin, Monica Kaufman,
Gladys Knight and Rosalynn Carter.
Larrie Del’s personal and professional
achievements have contributed to the
well-being and improvement of the City of
Atlanta over the past 25 years. We are
especially proud and pleased that Atlanta
Habitat has built quality, affordable homes
with more than 500 families since she came
on board 10 years ago. With her
tremendous leadership, together, we have
all been instrumental to the mission
of making the American dream of
homeownership a reality for so many.
Congratulations, Larrie Del!
Our Mission:
Atlanta Habitat for Humanity
partners with working families,
sponsors and communities to build
affordable quality homes and
provide support services that
promote successful home
purchase and ownership.
P
artnerships are vital to the success of Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.
Through them, we secure funding for programs, collaborate with
neighborhoods and build houses. Atlanta Habitat also cultivates
partnerships with members of the affordable workforce housing community
throughout the City of Atlanta. The most recent example of this is our partnership
with the Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA) in the federally-funded HOPE VI
revitalization program of the former Grady Homes.
The AHA is a non-profit, non-political corporation that provides affordable
housing to approximately 50,000 residents of Atlanta and is one of the largest
housing agencies in the nation. Through the HOPE VI program, the AHA is
leading a team of partners to revitalize Grady Homes, a blighted, public housing
community in the Sweet Auburn district of downtown Atlanta. Through the
program, Atlanta Habitat purchased 21 lots at below market rate and used them
to build new houses for first-time homebuyers.
In March, Atlanta Habitat completed homes on three of the lots in the Plainville
neighborhood in southwest Atlanta. They were built by long-time Atlanta Habitat
partners Clark Howard, the Rev. Nancy F. Noblin Foundation and
Cox Enterprises. Built with and for the Yayhe & Esubaluw family, the Moses

family and the Jackson family, these quality, attractive, energy-efficient homes will
provide safety, stability and long-term financial security for a total of four adults
and six children.
Our partnership with the AHA and participation in the HOPE VI program is just
one example of how Atlanta Habitat remains active in the greater Atlanta housing
community. These types of partnerships make use of beneficial opportunities that
allow Atlanta Habitat to pursue its mission with greater productivity and
efficiency.
“The need for affordable workforce housing is an increasingly critical issue for
Atlanta, so cultivating partnerships in the community is more important than
ever,” states Larrie Del Martin, Atlanta Habitat executive director. Highlighting
the need, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin is currently implementing recommendations from an Affordable Workforce Housing Taskforce which will include, among
other things, a $75 million bond allocation for housing development and mortgage
assistance, inclusionary zoning initiatives and a land assemblage program.
Additionally, national and regional evaluations show that the need for reasonably
priced workforce housing in Atlanta will continue to escalate. All of these
developments underscore the necessity for Atlanta Habitat to continue to
successfully fulfill its mission of providing affordable homeownership
opportunities.

Executive Director’s Report
Larrie Del Martin
tlanta Habitat’s 24th year is moving along rapidly and successfully, and we
have great news to share!
Through this newsletter, you will discover special partnerships that help us
stretch our resources to construct the best possible houses while building more
homes.
Partnerships are such an important part of our story. This year we are partnering with the Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA) in their Grady Homes Hope VI
Project. Atlanta Habitat is building 18 beautiful EarthCraft Certified houses for
homeownership, while also working with the AHA to identify families that
qualify for our program. It is a win for Atlanta’s working families.
Partners include corporate sponsors such as The Home Depot and its IT
Department, which recently celebrated its 15th house! Congratulations to our
friends in IT who simultaneously won The Home Depot’s Building CommUnity
Award for their commitment to building affordable housing with Atlanta Habitat!
Some other great build partnerships thus far in 2007 include the NCAA and local
student-athletes who helped build two houses for families displaced by Hurricane
Katrina. We also extend our thanks to special folks Clark Howard and his wife
Lane who partnered with Rev. Nancy Noblin to build two houses, and challenged
each other to build four houses together in 2008!
To make certain that we have fabulous plants for our houses and for sale at our
ReStore, the Southern Nursery Association and the Georgia Green Industry
Association have come to our aide. We are just delighted to add them to our list
of generous and committed in-kind donors.
Likewise, did you know? We are getting a NEW truck. Yes, the Dodge folks
donated a new 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 in conjunction with their “Dribble for a
Dodge” Contest prior to the NCAA Tournament. Wow! What a great and
needed donation.
We would be remiss if we did not share how thrilled we are with our new PSA
thanks to our wonderful partnership with Brian Tolleson and his company barkbark Productions. They worked tirelessly to produce a high-quality, professional
television spot that is available for viewing at www.atlantahabitat.org. What great
new friends Brian and his team are!
As you read this issue of Homefront, we hope you will enjoy the details about the
ways that sometimes unexpected partnerships and a variety of donations make
such a positive impact on this organization.
In closing, we – the staff and Board – want to thank you, once again, for your
generous support and genuine concern for others.

New Public Service Announcement
E
ach year, Atlanta Habitat for
Humanity builds quality, affordable
houses with and for 50 or more working
families. Due to the increasingly
expensive real estate market, building
affordable housing in the City of Atlanta
at this rate has become a challenge. You
may be able to help, like Mari Lipton
did when she donated a piece of
property in late 2006. The property is
now permitted and ready to be selected
by a family. Thanks to land donations
to Atlanta Habitat, 69 families have
been able to buy their first home.
If you are interested in donating
developed or undeveloped property in
Atlanta, Fulton County or elsewhere,
please call Jim Sibley, director of real
estate, at 404-223-5180, ext. 131.
Contributions to Atlanta Habitat are tax
deductible as provided by law.
W
e are fortunate to have Brian Tolleson, Creative Director and Executive
Producer of bark-bark Productions, as a fan of Atlanta Habitat’s mission. He
approached the organization almost a year ago, generously offering to provide his
talents and services pro bono to produce a public service announcement (PSA) to
help promote Atlanta Habitat’s mission.
Brian and the production crew worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to create a
unique and high quality production. The team on this project was resourceful and
efficient – finding volunteer actors
(including Atlanta Habitat homeowners), vendors to donate time,
equipment and services and a
professional to donate his voice over
talents. The PSA is available for
viewing at www.atlantahabitat.org
and will air on television stations
throughout Atlanta. We are grateful
to Brian, his entire team at bark-bark,
and all those who lent their support to

Clark Howard Dedicated Two More Houses…
25 and Counting!
n late March, Atlanta Habitat dedicated the 24th and 25th
houses sponsored by Clark Howard, Atlanta’s favorite
consumer advocate. For four years, the Reverend Nancy
Noblin, another dedicated Atlanta Habitat enthusiast, has lent
her financial and moral support to Clark’s house builds.
Volunteers were recruited from Clark’s listener audience and
WSB Radio staff. During the dedication, Clark recognized
several volunteers who have been building with him since his
first and second Atlanta Habitat houses.
Not one to dwell on a moment too long, Clark started
talking about the 2008 build project during an on-air live
interview with Reverend Nancy. Clark offered up a challenge
– if he doubled his commitment, would Reverend Nancy also
double hers? Reverend Nancy accepted his challenge,
effectively increasing their collective commitment to sponsor
four houses early next year. Way to go Clark and Reverend
Nancy – Thank you!

Horticulture Industry
Helps Beautify Yards
A
s the fortunate recipient of plant donations from two
horticulture industry associations, the Southern Nursery
Association (SNA) and the Georgia Green Industry Association
(GGIA), Atlanta Habitat raised money through ReStore sales and
beautified the landscapes of Atlanta Habitat homes.
Last August, the Atlanta Habitat ReStore held a “Blowout Plant
Sale” with an inventory of shrubs, trees, perennials, annuals, bags
of mulch and soil and more, donated from growers and suppliers
from the SNA trade show. This plant sale raised funds to support
Atlanta Habitat’s affordable homeownership program.
Last year, in preparation for future plant donations and
purchases, Atlanta Habitat constructed a plant holding area,
encircled by a fence and covered in mulch to help with water
retention. In January, this area became even more useful when
Atlanta Habitat was the recipient of the GGIA trade show plant
donation program. Growers were enthusiastic about donating
their plant material, including a generous number of large trees
and shrubs as well as one- to 10-gallon
trees, shrubs and perennials. Atlanta
Habitat volunteers are planting these
quality plant materials in the yards of
Atlanta Habitat houses being constructed this year. Without this type of donation, we could not afford to plant so
many high-quality plants at each
house. For the past three years, GGIA
has also donated plant material for the
houses sponsored by Clark Howard.

Pension Protection Act of 2006
For 2006 and 2007, the Pension Protection Act of
2006 means that charitably-minded IRA owners can
donate up to $100,000 in each of these two years to
qualified charitable organizations without tax penalty. Without this act, many taxpayers would have
found it cost them to donate funds from an IRA, but
the Pension Protection Act removes those restrictions
making it easy to donate through IRA accounts.

Habitat for Humanity benefited from Dodge’s own
brand of March basketball madness as it kicked off National
Truck Month by hosting a basketball dribbling endurance
contest at Morehouse College.
“The Dodge Ram donation was such a surprise," said
Larrie Del Martin. “Atlanta Habitat is the second largest
producer of Habitat homes in the United States. We don't
want to spend the money we have on vehicles. We want to
spend it on the houses, so this donation from Dodge is a
dream come true.”
n 1993, The Home Depot IT department
traded in their hard drives for screwdrivers
and partnered with Atlanta Habitat for
Humanity to build a house. This project was the
first-ever for the now company-wide employee
volunteer program, Team Depot. The tradition
continued as The Home Depot IT department dedicated their 17th house in early June.
In recognition of this long-standing commitment, The Home Depot recently honored the IT
department with the Building CommUnity
Award. The Award recognizes associates who
plan, lead and execute the most successful and
meaningful Team Depot projects across the
organization each year. Dozens of nominations
are received and evaluated on community
impact, creativity, volunteer engagement and
other criteria. In recognition of the IT department’s award, The Home Depot made a $4,000
donation to Atlanta Habitat.
The Home Depot Executive Vice President
and CIO Bob DeRodes explains, “Our annual
IT Atlanta Habitat for Humanity build has
proven to be a great experience for many of our
associates. Teams that normally work together
at their desks and with computers, get a chance
to learn team dynamics with hammers and
saws in hand. This event has proven to be an
exceptional team-building event and has
become an IT tradition that many associates
look forward to each year. Many in our
management team take advantage of the
opportunity to have their teams work together
in a totally different environment where they
not only build comradeship, but also practice
our Home Depot’s core values.”
For over 14 years, nearly 4,000 Home Depot
IT associates have partnered with Atlanta
Habitat to provide the foundation (literally!) for
a lifetime of hope and financial stability for 17
qualified homebuyer families. Congratulations
and thank you!

Framework for a New Beginning
O
n March 30, in partnership with the NCAA, Lowe’s and Habitat for
Humanity International, approximately 100 student-athletes from
Clark-Atlanta, Emory, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, Mercer, Morehouse
and Spelman converged on Centennial Olympic Park on a cold, windy day to
build frames for two Atlanta Habitat houses which will be purchased by families
who have relocated to Atlanta due to Hurricane Katrina.
Chalonda Simpson, Atlanta Habitat’s first “Katrina family” to qualify for
the program, built alongside the students. She was very excited to get the
construction started on her new home for her three-year-old son and herself.
“We’ve moved to four different places,” states Chalonda. “Georgia is the fourth
state that we’ve come to. We didn’t know that we would be gone from New
Orleans for so long, so we only packed two days’ worth of clothes for my child and
me,” explained Chalonda. “These walls represent the home being built for me,”
she said. Working side-by-side with Chalonda, eager volunteers understand that
they are raising the framework for a new beginning.
