Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity Annual Report 2007 – 2008
Dear Friends, Th is year has brought about some dramatic changes in our country. We can’t think of a time in recent history where the need for safe, decent and aff ordable homes has ever been more acute — where the importance of stable housing for family success has ever been as clear. While Habitat for Humanity remains committed to building in the urban core, we also built Habitat homes for the very fi rst time in four more cities in the region. In all, 40 partner cities have now welcomed Habitat families to their neighborhoods. A Brush with Kindness served more families than ever before, and our Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Program counseled more than 700 Minneapolis families who are struggling to keep their homes. And, we accomplished this with your help while having to quickly adapt to the changing market around us. Our very endurance is a testimony to our innovation and your partnership. As you read the stories of hope in this report, you will be struck by the perseverance not only of the families we serve, but of our volunteers and donors who have given so generously to Habitat this past year. Greatness is rarely measured from a particular moment in time, but rather the sum of our actions over the many days of our lives. So many individuals have contributed their hearts and hands to the families we serve — your lives truly refl ect “greatness” beyond measure. Each and every one of you have contributed to our work so that together we can eliminate poverty housing from the Twin Cities and make decent, aff ordable shelter for all people a matter of conscience. Th ank you for building a tangible legacy for our community. Gratefully, Susan Haigh, President Mark Lee, Chair of the Board of Directors
