Reasons to Believe<br />
Letter from the President and Chairman<br />
There’s something special happening in the 24:1 Community—the 24 municipalities that make up<br />
the Normandy school district. Stores and businesses and amenities are opening that help make life<br />
happen—the first community grocery store in 40 years, a bank, a socially responsible payday lending<br />
institution, and a movie theater to name just a few. New<br />
and revitalized homes with neighbors chatting on front<br />
porches and children laughing and playing are cropping<br />
up all around the 24:1 Community. Nonprofit partners<br />
are coming together in unprecedented collaborations to<br />
provide needed programs and resources.<br />
Municipal police departments and courts are combining<br />
resources to increase efficiencies and to better serve the 24:1 Community, and schools are finding more<br />
success teaching students than they’ve experienced in many years.<br />
It’s all a fulfillment of <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong>’s vision for helping entire communities become<br />
better places to live through a holistic, strategic approach based on proven best practices.<br />
It all started in 2010 with our “ask, align, act” approach, where the voice of the people<br />
drives our actions. We listen, we lead with vision, and we bring the community and<br />
stakeholders together with the necessary resources to influence change.<br />
Today, there are many reasons to believe and so much to celebrate. Hope<br />
now abounds in a community where far more than just homes are being built.<br />
Confidence and strength is rising with every new business that opens its doors<br />
and with every new support program that comes to fruition.<br />
Read on to learn more about the special things happening in the 24:1 Community, and<br />
help us ensure that, with the help of generous donors like you, the momentum will continue.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Chris Krehmeyer<br />
President and CEO<br />

About <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong><br />
Helping entire communities become better places to live<br />
<strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> exists because home matters. We began<br />
with actual houses and housing preservation, focusing on<br />
quality and stability to give people a place to start. But there<br />
is more to a home than the house—home is about the life that<br />
happens in and around the house, as well as the life that fuels<br />
and draws out the best of the people within it.<br />
While specific challenges and priorities vary by community,<br />
all successful and thriving communities require integrated<br />
strategies that range from individual to systemic and policy<br />
level efforts in the areas of education, housing, health,<br />
employment readiness and access, economic development,<br />
and personal finance with a focus on collective impact, capacity<br />
building and community engagement.<br />
We bring civic leaders, targeted nonprofits, and corporate<br />
partners together to accomplish more for their communities<br />
than they could ever hope to achieve working alone. Our<br />
holistic vision and innovative framework provides a backbone<br />
of proven best practices that make a multitude of programs<br />
and efforts far more effective.<br />
We take an “ask, align, act” approach where we continuously<br />
use the voice of the people to drive our actions. We build<br />
committees to listen to the community, each staffed by<br />
<strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> and chaired by a community resident. Our<br />
role is to listen, lead with vision, bring resources and stakeholders<br />
together, influence change, and offer our contributions<br />
to the community for its benefit.<br />
Our goal has always been to help communities become better<br />
places to live, and then equip people to thrive. From health<br />
and nutrition programs to leading edge personal finance<br />
initiatives, <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> meets communities exactly<br />
where they are, providing help according to the needs they<br />
identify. Together with our partners, we are proud of what<br />
our efforts have been able to do for our community, and we<br />
think you will be too.<br />
AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPROACH<br />
Our focus is on improving people’s lives in a holistic manner and in<br />
helping entire communities become better places to live.<br />

Reasons to Believe<br />
Standing at the corner of Page & Ferguson offers a far different<br />
view now than it did just a few years ago.<br />
Where there once were dilapidated homes, empty lots, and<br />
abandoned buildings are now a grocery store, a bank, a cinema,<br />
senior center, and new homes…but there’s far more than that.<br />
There’s life.<br />
There’s community—in the purest sense of the word—in<br />
fellowship, the shared goals, and the commitment to making<br />
Pagedale a thriving place to work and live.<br />
Pagedale is the initial culmination of a community plan and<br />
what <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> intends to help create across the 24:1<br />
Community. We intentionally started with changing the<br />
physical landscape of the area, revitalizing the neighborhood<br />
and adding services that every community needs to have for<br />
its residents to lead healthy and successful lives.<br />
Once the physical infrastructure was improved, we were<br />
able to focus on bringing together partners to help with the<br />
programming and resources needed so that Pagedale could<br />
become the place residents hoped for.<br />
Today, it is a better place to live. You can see it on the streets<br />
and feel it in the air. Children are outside playing. Seniors are<br />
walking to the grocery store. Neighbors are gathering and<br />
getting to know each other. There’s excitement and renewed<br />
sense of pride in the community.<br />
Once the physical barriers of crumbling bricks and weeds<br />
and piles of wood were replaced, Pagedale residents trusted<br />
that things really were changing for the better. They trusted<br />
<strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong>, and they had hope.<br />
Now they have more than hope. The people of Pagedale<br />
have a better place to live—not just reside—in and around<br />
their homes.<br />
Is there more to be done? Certainly…but it’s an incredible<br />
start, and now <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> wants to take what’s been<br />
learned in Pagedale and replicate that throughout the 24:1<br />
Community.<br />

<strong>2016</strong> ACCOMPLISHMENTS<br />

THE 24:1 INITIATIVE<br />
EMPOWERED BY BEYOND HOUSING<br />
24 Communities in the Normandy Schools Collaborative<br />
sharing ONE vision for successful children, engaged families<br />
and a strong community.
There’s something special happening<br />
in the 24:1 Community—<br />
a new cinema, grocery store, two<br />
senior centers and a bank. New<br />
homes, people laughing and children<br />
playing. You can feel and see it when<br />
you walk around the community.<br />
There’s hope in the air and for<br />
good reasons. Read on to learn<br />
more about all of the special things<br />
happening in the 24:1 Community.<br />
Empowered by <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong>

Through the eyes of growing up in Pine Lawn<br />
For many years, Pine Lawn’s Garfield Elementary School<br />
sat vacant and decaying. The school had been a home away<br />
from home for so many area<br />
children over the years, and<br />
one of those children was Jackie<br />
Buck Horton. “I started at<br />
Garfield in third grade and lived<br />
right around the corner from<br />
it,” said Jackie. “My dad used<br />
to love to come to school and<br />
watch me get up on stage and<br />
sing or recite something—didn’t matter what it was, he was<br />
always there. The whole community was. It was the place that<br />
brought us all together.”<br />
Back then, Pine Lawn was a thriving area with successful<br />
businesses that reinvested in the community. “We<br />
were a community rich in the companies around it,” Jackie<br />
remembered. “People gave back, our school alumni group was<br />
active, and Pine Lawn was a great place to grow up.”<br />
Jackie moved away to college after graduating from Normandy<br />
High School and built a successful<br />
career as a paralegal at Citi<br />
Mortgage. As the Pine Lawn<br />
community fell on hard times,<br />
Garfield Elementary closed and<br />
fell into disrepair. Moving back<br />
as an adult into her parents’ old home, Jackie watched the<br />
community deteriorate around her. “It broke my heart to see<br />
so much of what made Pine Lawn a close-knit community<br />
crumble away,” Jackie mused. “I didn’t know what to do to<br />
help, but I wanted to do something—and that’s when I started<br />
volunteering with <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong>.”<br />
Like so many others, Jackie enthusiastically jumped into<br />
helping anywhere she could. She was particularly interested<br />
in supporting efforts to pursue accreditation with her alma<br />
mater, Normandy High School. “I went to every school district<br />
and <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> event I could,” she said.<br />
When <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> announced its plans to help the City<br />
of Pine Lawn beginning with renovating Garfield Elementary<br />
into their new headquarters, Jackie was thrilled. Her home<br />
away from home for so much of her childhood, the backdrop of<br />
so many wonderful childhood memories, was getting a second<br />
chance at thriving again.<br />
“I’ve seen what <strong>Beyond</strong><br />
<strong>Housing</strong> has been<br />
doing in Pagedale—<br />
and am excited for<br />
what’s now happening<br />
in Pine Lawn. It’s a<br />
good thing.”<br />
Once the renovations were<br />
done and Jackie got a chance<br />
to see the new updates, she<br />
was even more thrilled. “I<br />
loved seeing the all the things<br />
they kept in the building<br />
that I remember seeing as a<br />
child,” she said. “The stage is still there, too, and I can see my<br />
dad sitting in the audience with a big smile on his face beaming<br />
up at me on the stage.”<br />
For Jackie, the new <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> headquarters is just<br />
one more part of the process to bring Pine Lawn back, and<br />
she fully intends to be part of the revitalization. “I watched<br />
my neighborhood deteriorate, and now I’m watching it come<br />
back,” she stated. “I’ve seen what <strong>Beyond</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> has been<br />
doing in Pagedale—and am excited for what’s now happening<br />
in Pine Lawn. It’s a good thing.”<br />
The new headquarters is only the beginning of what’s going on<br />
in Pine Lawn. In March of <strong>2016</strong>, we opened Vetter Place—a<br />
53 unit senior housing center providing affordable housing,<br />
wellness, and social activity programs. As part of Pine Lawn’s<br />
broader plan for community development, there are also plans<br />
under way for new homes, street improvements, and a new<br />
park. We’re replicating our efforts in Pagedale with plans for<br />
helping to make Pine Lawn a better place to live.<br />
