dear valued donors, volunteers,
sponsors, partners, and friends,
“Built to Last.” It’s a simple concept, but just what does it mean in terms of
Atlanta Habitat? Certainly we build houses with long-lasting quality and an
eye to earth-friendly, EarthCraft construction. But, as a business with a heart,
we believe what we are truly helping to build are lasting success stories.

Homeowner criteria include working in the same job for at
least one year, a steady income for two years, a good credit history, and a
savings account of $200 for at least six months. (A candidate’s income must
fall between 25-60 percent of our area’s median income.)
Homeownership requirements include 250 hours of home construction sweat
equity and participation in at least 12 educational classes during the one-year
lease period.
Many in metro Atlanta associate our story with the wonderful homes we build, but, in
truth, the Atlanta Habitat story begins with our hard-working homeowners–individuals
who by their sheer drive and passion meet every one of our requirements and then
press on to fulfill the sweat equity labor and education class requirements that earn
them the opportunity to build and buy their home. Indeed, succeeding to become an
Atlanta Habitat homeowner takes real effort.
Once they move into their Atlanta Habitat homes, these families seem to generate
even more success. The sense of security and feeling of pride that come from an Atlanta
Habitat home strengthen these families. They thrive–and their ability to make lasting
contributions to their children’s futures, their neighborhoods, communities, and metro
Atlanta just seems to grow. With so many of our families, there is a desire to contribute
and help build a safer environment, more attractive properties, and more vital communities.
There’s a commitment to being involved and to continue improving places where they
live, work, and play.
So a positive, lasting evolution progresses – first from block to block, then
encompassing an entire neighborhood, and ultimately, benefiting our city and metro
area. That’s how “Built to Last” gets real meaning and becomes a holistic legacy for our
community of which we all can be proud.
When we define “Built to Last,” we see our homeowners’ sons and daughters
succeeding in the Armed Forces. We hear how one woman’s determination has resulted
in a neighborhood street being paved. Or we listen at a dedication ceremony as a father
looks to his six children and tells them that this home is, above all, for them.

The mission of Atlanta Habitat has always been to build affordable housing for working
families. Today, we are finding more ways to do just that. We are now joining forces with
other nearby Habitat affiliates and continuing to work with private developers. Atlanta
Habitat also is incorporating new housing solutions such as townhome communities.
The result is an exciting, larger, 10-county service area, a more diverse architectural
portfolio, and a greater opportunity to share our experiences and our resources. Now,
more environmentally conscious Habitat homes and more helpful homeowner education
classes can be available to more deserving people – security guards, health care
technicians, teachers’ aides, food service employees, and many more who work very
hard for their wages. No family should have to live in substandard housing, and as long
as they do in Atlanta and our surrounding communities, we will continue to ask for your
support–support you have generously given and for which we are most grateful. Used
wisely, your contributions ensure there will be more “Built to Last” success stories.

A Lasting Friend
When the mill closed in Atlanta’s Cabbagetown neighborhood, lots
of folks went elsewhere – but not Henrietta. She stayed. It was where
she was born and raised, and she wasn’t going anywhere. today,
Cabbagetown is where you still find Henrietta – still happy in her
Atlanta Habitat home, one of the earliest we built (1987). A strong,
resolute community leader, Henrietta works tirelessly for her
friends, including many hours at the Savannah Street neighborhood
House. the Savannah Street House offers a variety of programs
especially for limited-income seniors – meals, fun activities, and even
emergency assistance. Come by and you’ll no doubt find Henrietta
teaching her quilting class or just lending a hand. It’s something this
lasting friend has done for her Cabbagetown neighbors for more
than 25 years.
atlanta Habitat – HAnDS-on opeRAtIon
What we provide, we build. that’s because first and foremost,
Atlanta Habitat is a construction company – one with 26
years of experience and more than 1,000 homes under our
belt. We have a full-time architect on staff and trained construction
employees who oversee our corps of great on-site
volunteers.

One Last Project?
the trices’ Atlanta Habitat home was built as part of the Jimmy
Carter work project in 1988 – our first blitz-build – with 20 homes fin-
ished in just five days. But you might not recognize it today, as this
family, it seems, never runs out of improvement projects. the front
porch is now screened in. the front steps have been carefully bricked.
the driveway is longer and the backyard prettier. plus, just take a look
at some of their inside projects – a wonderfully successful daughter
who is now enrolled in nursing school; a second daughter serving our
country in the Armed Forces; and a son, out on his own working hard.
Are there more projects ahead? they have already paid off their mortgage
in full, but, if we could guess, we would probably say there are
other advances on the horizon. this family has enormous pride in
what they have already accomplished, and there will always, no
doubt, be one last project they undertake to make things even better.
atlanta Habitat – SolID ASSet mAnAGement
land in metro Atlanta is a precious resource, and as a successful
land developer, we carefully manage every acre we acquire or purchase.
We are real-estate savvy and understand the need to leverage our
property assets to generate the best return on investment.

At Long Last
In 2004, this lovely couple left their native Cambodia and
arrived in the u.S. without much more than their dreams. It’s
hard to believe that mom, Dad, and two young children could
live in two tiny rooms. But even harder still is to realize that
these cramped quarters had no kitchen. the goal, however, was
to sacrifice, save enough money to escape, and perhaps – just
perhaps – buy a home, even though such prospects looked
exceedingly dim. then one day, Atlanta Habitat entered the
lives of these American newcomers, and what seemed
impossible became probable, if they could complete the
homeowner requirements. Indeed, they did just that, and in
may 2009 the Chhlaing family moved into their brand-new
home in the Ben Hill community. A dream had come true, and at
long last, there was real room for a growing, thankful family.
atlanta Habitat – DISCIplIneD FInAnCIAl StRAteGIeS
At the end of 2008, we held no-interest mortgages on 772 homes, and
we carry out our role as lender within strict guidelines. Additionally, we
manage Atlanta Habitat finances with the first priority being to protect
the funds entrusted to us and to use them judiciously to build affordable
housing and provide support services for working families.

A Lasting Impression
longstanding chair of the mechanicsville Civic Association, chaplain for
Atlanta’s neighborhood planning unit v, on the board of the nonprofit
builder organization SummeCH, as well as a board member of the
Southside medical Center, choir director at the Grace evangelistic
ministries Church, and a valued member of the Atlanta Habitat
Homeowner Advisory Committee – that’s Sharon Collins, an unbelievable
woman who is making a lasting impression everywhere she goes. Sharon
grew up in mechanicsville and wanted to stay and help her community
move ahead. earning her Atlanta Habitat home in mechanicsville kept her
right where she wanted to be, and everyone knows her as the community
leader who gets things done. Bright, articulate, and focused, Sharon has
raised three exemplary sons who, she is proud to recall, never gave
her any trouble growing up, something she says is partially owed to the
safety and security of her Atlanta Habitat home. And what’s her last
word on being a successful homeowner? “you have to be a good neighbor;
speak and communicate with those around you.”
atlanta Habitat – Well-pRepAReD HomeoWneRS
Atlanta Habitat is a busy educator. We train our homeowners in
the basics of home maintenance, budgeting, landscaping, insurance,
fire safety, and more. In 2008, our Home Smart education
staff, including volunteer instructors, offered our homeowners
more than 1,000 hours in the classroom.

CARDenAS
Lasting Success
For the Cardenas family, success didn’t stop when they earned
their Atlanta Habitat home. It has continued right through the next
generation with their three beautiful daughters accomplishing
their own goals. eva and Gaby both received full scholarships to
attend Clayton State university, and elizabeth, now an 11th-grader
at tri-Cities High School for the performing Arts, is studying ballet
under the famous dancer Bridget moore. mario also is helping
others find success with Atlanta Habitat by volunteering as one of
our organization’s ambassadors, speaking before such groups as
the latin American Association. the Cardenases were Atlanta
Habitat’s first Hispanic homeowners, and they have been a true
example of the lasting success we so hope our mission creates.
atlanta Habitat – SoCIAlly ReSponSIBle
Atlanta Habitat is a nonprofit charitable organization focused
