July 1, 2022- June 30, 2023 Annual Report Introduction | Programs & Services | Volunteers | ReStore | Donors | Financials "Our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will reach new heights. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati." A letter from the CEO Growing Together Dear Friends, As I reflect on my first year as CEO of this incredible organization, I am filled with gratitude and excitement. Over the past year, we have achieved remarkable milestones together, and I am eager to share our progress and vision with you. We can’t thank you enough for all that you helped accomplish in the last year. Despite the challenges we've faced following the pandemic, this year has been one of significant achievements. At the beginning of the year, we expanded the Critical Repair Program and introduced Aging in Place. We are now able to partner with older low-income homeowners to repair and modify their homes to ensure safety and independence as they age. This new initiative was met with overwhelming interest from the community setting in motion an exponential growth plan for our home repair programs. This year alone, we improved living conditions of 66 households, a 164% increase from the year before. With your help, we built 16 new homes, marking the highest number of homes constructed in a single year since the onset of the pandemic. These homes represent stable and affordable housing solutions for 16 first-time homebuyer families in Greater Cincinnati. In the spring, we formed a partnership with CityLink to lead a workforce development program. The Habitat Construction Training Program empowers individuals to enter careers in commercial and residential construction. Our deep knowledge as a top builder paired with CityLink’s expertise in removing barriers to student success is creating brighter futures. We know that a strong construction workforce is critical to our vision of strong communities and affordable housing. As we look forward, we are embarking on a season of unprecedented growth. Housing affordability is one of the most pressing issues facing our community, and with our ambitious strategic plan, we will rise to the challenge as an equitable and sustainable solution to the current housing crisis. This year, we will take advantage of one-time relief funding from the State of Ohio and Hamilton County to build and repair more homes. The generous gift from Mackenzie Scott will allow us to grow our team immediately and sustain expanded operations. The opening of the sixth Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Loveland will provide additional revenue needed to create more opportunities for affordable homeownership in our community. As we look ahead to the challenges and opportunities of the coming year, we do so with confidence, knowing that our shared commitment to affordable housing and building community will continue to make a profound impact. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are changing lives and building a stronger, more vibrant Cincinnati. With Gratitude, Joe Hansbauer President & CEO “Living with [my mom] actually helped me buy my own home. [...] It literally was the foundation for myself to be able to build off of for my family.” -Alisha, daughter of Habitat homeowner Affordable Homeownership Impacts Generations Sheree and Alishi a 's Story The Year at a Glance July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023 115 households partnered with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati to build or improve their homes two new programs launched: Aging in Place, and Construction Training Program 1,930 volunteers gave over 30,941 hours of their time 13 new policies and initiatives were implemented as part of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan Award Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati was voted a Top Workplace in Greater Cincinnati 99 households improved their homes through the Critical Repair Programs and Rock the Block "When I think about building and buying a new home with Habitat, what immediately comes to mind, is building a community. A community built among the current and future homeowners who shared a similar journey. The community that was built amongst the construction team, and the community connections that were made with all the volunteers who shared their stories. Each and every interaction holds a special place in my heart. For my family and I, becoming a homeowner means carrying on traditions that I had growing up as a child. But also carrying and creating new traditions of my own. We have so many memories to be created within these walls. Most importantly, homeownership means we created a legacy--a legacy for my children. And from the financial homeownership classes, […] I can now pass this knowledge on to my children so they can also make wise choices as they grow older and travel on their own journey in life's adventure. Most importantly, I cannot create my family's legacy without thanking the legacy of Habitat for Humanity […] whose vision has empowered affordable homeownership but also the immense amount of appreciation, knowledge, and skills learned and gained plus the rewarding feeling of being hands-on and partnering with so many wonderful and encouraging people that I would never forget." -Felicia Habitat Homeowner, 2023, Evanston Your Impact: Programs & Services Creating A ffordable Homeownership 16 families became first-time homeowners through the Affordable Homeownership Program 81% of new homeowners this year were minorities. 75% of homes were purchased by single mothers with minor children 12 mortgages were paid off in full 6 new homeowners work in the healthcare industry 26 kids moved into Habitat homes this year Habitat’s homeownership program sells homes to families with affordable, 30-year, zero-interest mortgages, helping first-time homeowners enter the market and build equity. Learn More About Homeownership “Being able to stay stable in the house and the community I’ve known for my whole life means a lot. It’s great” See George and Darla's Story Your Impact: Programs & Services Preserving Affordable Homeownership 89% of Critical Repair participants were over age 60 36 homeowners partnered to make their homes more accessible 46 households partnered with Habitat to complete repairs that were critical to the safety and stability of their home 33 military families improved their home through the Veteran Repair Program 33 households partnered to complete minor home preservation projects through Rock the Block 66 homes were repaired through the Critical Home Repair Programs. Exponential Growth for Critical Home Repair As the housing stock in our area ages, the need for critical home repair is increasing. This is especially true for senior and veteran populations. At Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati, we believe that partnering with existing low-income homeowners to repair their homes, is a critical part of ensuring everyone has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Thanks to your support, we were able to begin ramping up operations to meet this critical need in our community. Number of Households served: Critical Home Repair FY 20 FY 21 FY 22 FY 23 FY 24 (goal) Through the Critical Home Repair Programs you are helping to preserve homeownership in our community. Through repairs and accessibility modifications, low-income senior or veteran homeowners are able to remain stable and safe in their homes and communities. Learn More About Repair "The reason why I got into construction is because I wanted to have a career. I want to help people— there's a need for housing. I have a plan to help people just like Habitat for Humanity does. I really look forward to starting this journey and this program has helped me tremendously." -Ivory, Construction Training Graduate Your Impact: Programs & Services NEW Construction Training This year, your support helped us to take an innovative look at the labor shortage in the construction industry.

"It's a huge opportunity to have fun together, and at the end of the day when you leave, you can look back and see that something you did is concrete, it's there, and it's going to be there for a long time." -John Wright, Eastside Coalition < Return to Annual Report Spotlight: Faith in Action Eastside Coalition John Nolan from St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, John Wright from St. Paul United Methodist Church, and Roy Johnson from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church are three long-time members of the Eastside Coalition. We sat down with these men to talk about the success of their coalition and why they chose to partner with Habitat. The Eastside Coalition is made up of 11 churches of all different denominations and sizes who share a common interest in helping build Habitat homes. The group banded together in 1996 to raise funds and mobilize volunteers to build their first Habitat home. Since then, the group has built almost 90 homes and these three men have been building homes together for over a decade. John Nolan says that the way St. Barnabas helps is by sharing their "people, money, and time." Each church has its own outreach efforts which work to raise money for Habitat. They have their own ways of supporting Habitat, and they share ideas with one another. His church, for example, hosts an annual benefit concert in the summer. The money that they raise goes directly to Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati. "We have a long history of being involved with Habitat, and we have a specific amount of money each year in our outreach budget that goes to Habitat so it's a very important part of our ministry," says Roy Johnson of Good Shepard Lutheran Church. He also told us about how Habitat events, activities, and volunteer opportunities are present in each of their church newsletters. "We're always promoting it, and we're very blessed that our pastors are really into Habitat." Habitat welcomes anyone of all abilities to get involved. "It's crucial to point out that most of us volunteers had no background in construction. The appeal is the ability to go out and learn how to use your hands, learn more about house-building; it's on the job training," says Wright. He shared a memory of working with an 85-year-old volunteer who helped him to move scaffolding. "Anybody can do almost anything if they want, and anybody can contribute." "One of the aspects that I think makes it work is that there are many ways people can get involved," Wright continues. There are many roles from fundraising, recruiting, and organizing to packing lunches, swinging a hammer, and painting the walls. "It gives different talents an opportunity to help." Eastside Coalition Over the Years Each of the Eastside Coalition churches believes in sharing God's love with people outside their own doors. Working with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati allows them to put their faith into action and see change within their own community. "It's a rewarding thing… you spread goodwill and our folks feel [that] they're getting involved with the community, literally," says Nolan. "It's local," starts Wright. "We do some things that are national or international, but this is local, and it gives us the sense that we're doing something here." He talks about the importance of hands-on work, to do something in your own backyard. "It's doing something that is lasting, and you can see the benefit." Wright, Nolan, and Johnson all agree that they enjoy being able to see the direct impact in their community. "It's a huge opportunity to have fun together, and at the end of the day when you leave, you can look back and see that something you did is concrete, it's there, and it's going to be there for a long time," says Wright. Plus, they explain that volunteering is fun and has allowed them to bond with others. "It's a community," says Johnson. Working with Habitat allows the churches and coalitions to connect and strengthen their own sense of community. "You get to meet some of the church members that you otherwise might not have," says Wright. Because there are so many ways to get involved with Habitat, volunteer opportunities appeal to people from all different backgrounds." "You get to talk while you're working, and you get to know them better," says Nolan. "Comradery is a big part of it. We get to tease each other, trade bad jokes. We learn from each other's mistakes or learn from someone who knows more than you. You can take some of those skills home." Nolan says he's now better at home improvement projects because of his time spent on Habitat build sites. When asked about their favorite memories with the Eastside Coalition and Habitat, Nolan responds, "we could talk about this for hours!" But a few key memories came to mind, like signing the lumber for a new home with well wishes and blessings, listening to a homeowner speak at a dedication ceremony, and working alongside the homebuyers to build their homes. One of Johnson's favorite memories is when a family from his own church was able to purchase a Habitat home. After immigrating from Africa and moving to Cincinnati, this family started going to church at Good Shepherd Lutheran and through the church found out about Habitat's homeownership program. Johnson enjoyed working alongside them to build their home and said it was rewarding watching a good family put down roots in their community. "The stability that a house brings a family can't really be overstated," says Nolan. "So the fact that Habitat is addressing that is encouraging." Even though it takes months to build a house and there's such a need, you get to help a family. "You have to start somewhere." "It's so important that [churches] get to know the Habitat story and that you can make a difference," says Johnson. "It's a collective enterprise to address a real need. It's self-satisfying," says Nolan. Interested churches can join one of the existing coalitions involved with Habitat for Humanity Greater Cincinnati. "The number one necessity is enthusiasm," says Wright. "If you show up and give it a try, you'll learn on the job. It's not hard, it's fun!"

building stability Banker Build The Banker Build brings community leaders from the financial industry together to construct a Habitat for Humanity home in Greater Cincinnati. Come alongside Habitat for Humanity to support a family's dream of owning their first home. April 2024 Thanks to all who joined us for the first Banker Build! Get Involved Building financial stability for generations. As a financial industry professional, you know the impacts that homeownership can have on a family for generations. When families are able to purchase a safe and stable home that they can afford, they are able to invest in other areas of their lives like education or retirement. Banker Build helps to support the financial literacy classes Habitat homebuyers attend as part of the homebuying process. Home equity is the primary wealth-building vehicle for middle-class Americans, but is often out of reach for low to moderate-income families. At Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati, we remove barriers to homeownership for first-time homebuyers to help end cycles of poverty. Learn More "One of the biggest takeaways for both of us was the financial classes. The classes helped give us a foundation for understanding our credit —understanding how to use it, and when and when not to use it. That all plays such a big part in making sure we can maintain the house after having the house. And not only just the house itself but other areas. We both actually had to get a car within six months of living here so we were able to do that and pay them off as well because we had that information and knowledge on how to do so." -Sheree, Habitat Homeowner since 2018 speaking about Habitat financial literacy classes that she attended with her adult daughter as part of the homeownership program. Bankers invested in financial wellness. Cincinnati is a thriving banking community with a strong history of community support. By teaming up with other financial industry professionals, Banker Build has the power to raise funds, walls, and awareness to increase the financial wellness of a family through affordable homeownership. With the support of their institutions and networks, teams of financial industry professionals will work alongside a Habitat homebuyer to construct a Habitat home. When the home is complete, the homebuyer will purchase the home with a 0% interest mortgage giving them a strong foundation for their future. Meet the homebuyer family. Family Stories Check back for information about the homebuyer family for the banker build. Why Habitat? Habitat builds and renovates decent, affordable houses for people who make between 30%-80% of the area's median income. All partner homebuyers must demonstrate a reliable source of income as well as invest 250 hours of sweat equity in their home and in education classes. Houses are sold at no profit with a 0% interest, 30-year loan. The homeowner's mortgage payments are reinvested to build more Habitat homes.        Affordable housing solutions help local families in need provide a stable, sustainable environment to build a better future:   Children of homeowners are 25% more likely to graduate from high school, 116% more likely to graduate from college, and will earn 24% higher incomes.   Homeowners are 28% more likely to vote in local elections and engage in civic, school, and community groups . Homeowners are 34% more likely to have a retirement account. Affordable housing (less than 30% of income) frees up family resources for other important expenses like nutritious food, job training, and healthcare expenditures .
