FRAMING THE FUTURE OF SOUTH COUNTY ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014 ABOUT US “Construction can be accomplished only when we have volunteers to do the work.” FROM THE PRESIDENT MISSION The mission of South County Habitat for Humanity is to contribute to the elimination of substandard housing by creating decent homes in partnership with people in need. HABITAT’S REACH ACROSS WASHINGTON COUNTY SCHH HISTORY South County Habitat for Humanity (SCHH) was founded in 1990 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. Ted Seymour, one of the original incorporators, was named the first Executive Director. SCHH dedicated its first home in 1992 and in 1994 completed a Blitz Build of two homes in Charlestown in the space of a week. Later in 1994 the SCHH-URI partnership was formalized when the URI Campus Chapter was established. The first womenbuilt house in 1997 recruited many women volunteers, some of whom still serve on the Women’s Crew. In 2003, Ted Seymour retired and Lou Raymond, who first volunteered with SCHH on the 1994 Blitz Build, was selected as Executive Director. In 2007, the completion of the Operations Center and the establishment of a Habitat ReStore put SCHH on a firm financial footing. SCHH has continued to expand. Now, after 24 years in operation, SCHH has completed 45 homes and given a hand up to 54 South County families. 1 South County Habitat for Humanity | Annual Report | 2013-2014 45 Current Homes 4 Homes Under Construction 3 Planned Homes South County Habitat for Humanity is a bunch of do-gooders who build houses and sell them with minimal down payments on interest-free loans to people who would not otherwise qualify for a home mortgage! The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes a do-gooder as “an earnest often naïve humanitarian or reformer.” We are earnest humanitarians, but we are not naïve! We contribute to the elimination of substandard housing by creating decent homes in partnership with people in need. We follow a business plan that would be totally unacceptable to a for-profit business, but fits our mission nicely. We are proud to be do-gooders, guided by God’s hand, and we follow our mission enthusiastically! number of volunteer hours has increased by 13.45%. In the ReStore alone, the number of volunteers has gone up 7.9% and the number of hours has gone up 6.5%. SCHH has had an extremely successful 2013-2014 Fiscal Year. Home construction, lot purchases, volunteer hours, URI student participation, and ReStore sales have all had remarkable increases over the previous fiscal year. The ReStore made great strides, as it does every year. While expenses did not increase, revenues from ReStore sales increased 20.5% and revenues from scrap metal sales increased 50.64%. 1,156 tons of materials have been diverted from landfills since the ReStore opened. Donors win, buyers win, homeowners win, and the environment wins with ReStore! Our capacity to build homes has increased to 3-4 homes per year, up from 1-2. Although a cold and snowy winter caused major delays, four homes are currently under construction and will be completed in the 2014-2015 Fiscal Year. One home was purchased back from a homeowner and three lots were purchased, one in Exeter and two in Charlestown. Our tithe to Habitat for Humanity International resulted in homes being built for seven families in other countries. Construction can be accomplished only when we have volunteers to do the work. The total number of volunteers in all capacities has increased by 46.25% and the total Our partnership with the University of Rhode Island community continued to be strong, as shown by donations, student volunteer hours on the home builds, and the bond between us. The Pound the Pavement fundraiser grew out of 2013’s walk-athon. Nearly 300 participants ran, walked, or moseyed in the sanctioned 5K event on the URI campus. Greek Life, the URI Habitat Chapter, URI athletic teams, and the URI community raised a total of $103,350, including a $50,000 alumni match. Thank you for being a do-gooder and joining SCHH in Building Houses, Building Hope!

I love my home and if I was given a chance to go on vacation anywhere, I would choose my home. It’s everything to me and my family.” - SCHH Homeowner 3 South County Habitat for Humanity | Annual Report | 2013-2014 Our Board president, Carol Kadamus, pointed out in her letter how well South County Habitat is doing these days. We got here with good Board leadership, a dedicated staff, some of the world’s best volunteers and plenty of blessings. It is good to take a moment to enjoy our accomplishments of the last year and to say “thanks” to a very gracious God. As an organization, we are financially strong and well positioned to continue our growth, but as always there are many challenges to be mastered. It is becoming more and more difficult to keep our homes affordable. Even though we had a very good year recruiting new volunteers we still do not have enough for the ambitious building schedule we would like to maintain. Many of the traditional funding sources no longer exist or are not as robust as in the past. Many of our early homeowners are starting to face the expenses associated with aging homes and may need some assistance. And, local poverty is becoming deeper and more pervasive than any time in recent memory. As we frame the future, I have great confidence in the people that are South County Habitat. I have great optimism because I am surrounded by people who put their faith into action day by day and week by week. I am constantly amazed by what can be accomplished by the shear persistence demonstrated by this group that was called to be the hands of our loving God—and they answered. Sincerely, Executive Director We certainly have the will to meet and overcome the challenges— that has been our history. Of course we cannot sit on our laurels more than a moment or two and then we must forge ahead. The plans, strategies and actions we take today determine the future health of our organization and the success of our mission in the tomorrows to come. Our Board of Directors will need to balance prudence and boldness as they make the decisions that will set our course. And we, the members of South County Habitat will be asked to demonstrate and to continue the love and passion for mission that has made us what we are today.
