Mark Lujan, President, Board of Directors
Here we are again! The start of the New Year and
we’re already building away! For those who haven’t
been to our new Mesa Del Rio site, please do so. Bill
has his team of volunteers hard at work building new
two-story homes for our families. I’ve had some time to
settle in as president and I love every minute of it. The
organization is running like a well-oiled machine. Kori
Ann and her team have partner families lined up, Joani
and Beth have sponsorships in the process, Restore is
growing, and all the other staff/volunteers are making it
happen. I’ve mentioned our staff, but for this quarter’s
message I want to emphasize our great volunteers as
well. A lot of people know Habitat through the houses
we build or the items sold at Restore, but what makes
it all possible is the never-ending support from our
volunteers. Our volunteers range from the SWAT (Special
Work Assignment Team) to the people in the main office,
Restore, volunteers on site, board members, and in
many other places. The fact that we have such a strong
volunteer base just gives me a lot of faith in humanity.
It shows that when people have problems there are
always people there to help solve those problems. And
the great thing is it’s free of charge. That’s why I want to
give a special thank you for every volunteer with Habitat,
including my fellow board members. Last, but not least,
I wanted to give thanks to the donors that make this
mission possible. I’m sure everyone is excited for that
first house to be done on Mesa Del Rio so we can all see
the new houses and the new family. I am looking forward
to a great new year and to continuing with you all to take
Habitat to greater levels! Thank you!

Joani’s Corner
Joani Costello, Executive Director
It’s a day in the office at Greater
Albuquerque Habitat for Humanity
and I hear music. There is a lively
hum of human activity going on:
phone conversations, phones
ringing, the door chiming as
people go to and from the office
to ReStore and back, maintenance
workers throughout the halls, people bustling back
and forth in the hallways, and much more. For me, it is
a symphony. It is the sounds of numerous individuals
doing something wonderful; they are providing the
breath of life that fuels what it takes to keep GAHH
alive and humming. They aid us in managing the
myriad of programs that make up our complicated and
vital operation. While it’s true that we have paid staff
to oversee each section of our “orchestra,” it is the
volunteers who make the music happen. Dispatching
trucks for donation pick-up, answering calls from
prospective families, making thank you calls to ReStore
donors, entering donor information into the database
(highly critical for grants) and sending timely letters
to donors, qualifying families for a home, marketing
and advertising, group presentations, outreach events,
donor cultivation, contract negotiations, multi-layered
accounting for all the pieces – the list goes on and on.
Without volunteers to assist us, we could not survive.
Let’s not forget our board of directors and committee
members. Each and every month, and at every event,
they are there to guide and direct our efforts to achieve
success. The board oversees governance and policy for
the affiliate – the rules we must live by and that help us
to remain strong and viable.
In 2015, 157 unique individuals
volunteered over 4,000 hours of their time
and talents in the office and ReStore. Many of them
come two or three days per week and some even have a
regular schedule. Their wealth of knowledge overwhelms
us with gratitude. Each and every department head at
GAHH is a one-man band. Without volunteers, their
jobs would be impossible to accomplish. There is a song
whose lyrics are “united we stand, divided we fall.”
Those words epitomize the impact of volunteers in our
lives here at GAHH and those of the families we strive so
diligently to help.
Without volunteers, our mission to help low-income
families achieve homeownership would remain just a
dream. Habitat, along with volunteers, is not just building
homes, but building dreams. For the jobsite, it takes an
average of 400 volunteers and 2,500 hours per home to
complete the process. In 2015, nearly 1,000 volunteers
gave just under 11,000 hours of their time! This shows
the loyalty and dedication for what we do throughout
our great community.
Volunteering is hard. People have jobs, children,
hectic schedules, and just plain “life” getting in the way
of things. It is proven that those who find the time and
make the time to give of themselves for the benefit of
others are happier and their lives richer. There are no
words to sufficiently convey our heartfelt gratitude to
the dedicated volunteers who keep our symphony going,
so I will leave you with this quote from the late Albert
Schweitzer. “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but
one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be
really happy are those who will have sought and found
how to serve.”

29 Years Of Opening Doors To Brighter Futures
Operational Corner – Volunteer Update
Doug Champlin, Operations Manager and Regina Macias, Volunteer Manager
As GAHH’s Operations Manager, the
Volunteer Department falls under my
oversight. In developing our department’s strategic goals
and objectives for this year, revamping our Volunteer
Program was at the top of my list. I wanted to see a
fresh new look and feel for the program. This was going
to be a huge task, as our volunteers and the volunteer
program reaches into all of the departments in GAHH,
not just those under the operations umbrella. Regina
Macias, our Volunteer Manager, has stepped up to the
plate and made some significant strides in revamping
our program. I’m very excited and encouraged about
the progress and direction that I’ve seen so far in the
first quarter of 2016. Some of the changes include a
re-branding of our volunteer logo, volunteer feedback
surveys, and several volunteer recognition events during
the year. These are just a few of the changes that have
seen excellent traction, with many more being developed
and implemented. For a more in-depth overview of our
new Volunteer Program, read Regina’s highlights in the
next paragraphs. I’m sure we’ll see more exciting results
this year from our new Volunteer Program. If you have
any questions, please contact me at doug@habitatabq.
org or 265-0057, x112.
Since taking on the role as the new Volunteer
Manager, one of my key goals was to focus on the
volunteers and recognize the importance each individual
brings. Every day volunteers make huge impacts in all
areas of Habitat for Humanity and help bridge together
our community and our organization one hour at a

time. We cannot thank our volunteers enough for their
hard work and services, so we wanted to find new ways
to recognize their efforts and create more meaningful
experiences. When I was selected to be the Volunteer
Manager and challenged to rebrand the program, I was
thrilled at the prospect of reaching volunteers, hearing
suggestions, and maximizing your utility in making this
organization a great place to volunteer.
2016 is off to a great start heading toward new
changes and developments, including our own new
group name and logo. Add up your volunteer hours from
Bronze, Silver, and Gold to receive items and discounts!
Become an ambassador for Habitat and help with
training, creating, and designing
in different areas. Join us for
food, games, and giveaways
as we show our gratitude at
volunteer appreciation events.
Be a member of our first ever
Volunteer Committee. I am very
excited for this year and the kick
off of these new additions. Most
of all, I am excited to continue
working alongside all of our
present and future volunteers.
I know that this year will be
better than ever and we could
not have been successful without
the help and knowledge of the
volunteer crew. I encourage you
to stop in and meet some of our
volunteers. Ask questions, find
out how to get involved, spread
the word, and we will continue
to grow as a better, stronger
community! I look forward to
meeting you this year.

Habitat Volunteers and the Ripple Effect
Bill Reilly, Construction Manager
Habitat for Humanity was
established in 1976, and in those 40
years 6.8 million people have found
stability through safe and affordable
housing. Habitat is currently working
diligently in nearly 80 countries
worldwide to assist those in need of
Eight Homes on Townsend Ave. were
completed, October 31, 2015.
Greater Albuquerque Habitat for
Humanity is very fortunate to have
SWAT (Special Work Assignment
Team), a group of very talented and
experienced volunteer men and
women dedicated to ending poverty
housing in Albuquerque. They seem
to possess an inexhaustible energy
when orchestrating and working
with our general volunteers on
the jobsite. We also have a great
volunteer base from churches,
businesses, organizations and
individual participation. We would
not be able to accomplish our
mission without the help of our
and affordability. We
have also revised the
original floor plan to make this home
more handicap accessible to meet
Habitat visit-ability and longevity
standards.
The Mesa Del Rio Project is
challenging, but with the help of
the SWAT and our many volunteers
I have no doubt we will accomplish
our goal of building and completing
eight Habitat homes for deserving
partner families. A big THANK YOU
to our SWAT and general volunteers
for their incredible contribution
to GAHH, and to the two million
people that will volunteer for
Habitat globally this year. We greatly
appreciate your efforts to eliminate
poverty housing and creating a
“ripple effect.”

adequate shelter. Every year Habitat
organizes two million volunteers
to build homes, hope, pride, and
futures for those less fortunate.
The numbers are impressive.
However, the “ripple effect” of lives
impacted through Habitat volunteer
efforts may never truly be measured.
We all know that building homes,
neighborhoods, and communities
has immediate and long-term
benefits for everyone involved,
but the incomputable value of our
homeowners’ improved health and
safety, their children’s well-being
and development, their increased
educational and job prospects
(just to name a few), serve as a
clear example of how the “ripple
effect” from Habitat volunteers help
build wealth without currency or
statistical data.
volunteers. Volunteers are truly
Habitat’s greatest asset!
Construction on our latest project,
Mesa Del Rio, is well underway.
We are building eight residences –
four pairs of single family attached
homes, two-story, with 1,300 sq. ft.
of heated space, three bedrooms,
1.5 baths, and a two-car garage.
Although this project presents many
challenges to build, our SWAT and
general volunteers have not balked
once at the test. In typical fashion,
we are incorporating sustainable
building strategies which increase
durability, energy and water
efficiency, and improved air quality
for our homeowners, while reducing
the home’s monthly and life cycle
costs. Environmentally friendly

emphasize durability, efficiency,

Family Services – Volunteers, Applicants,
and New Homeowners O-MY!
Kori Ann Sanchez, Family Services Manager
GAHH has recently rebranded our volunteer
department. Did you know the estimated average value
of a volunteer’s time is $15.39 per hour? At GAHH,
new leadership and organization efforts have been
implemented to provide more emphasis on volunteer
appreciation and more focus on volunteer needs, and
our volunteer retention lists are soaring. So, if you are
thinking about volunteering, please don’t hesitate
to give our new Volunteer Manager Regina Macias
a call! Additionally, if you are aware of a business or
organization that would like to have more information
about how families qualify for our program, call me
at 505-359-2427. It is not uncommon for these two
departments to schedule a dual appointment with
organizations, businesses, and schools to
offer a quick presentation regarding program parameters
and volunteer opportunities for individuals, staff, and
family. Try it! Shifting your daily routine to help a lowincome family realize homeownership, quite simply, feels
good. The experience is amazing, one we can share with
our children. And the combined efforts of everyone will
do so much to strengthen our community.
No free time to volunteer? That’s okay, too! We are
currently searching for four new partner families to
qualify for a newly-constructed home, right down the
road from West Mesa High School on Mesa Del Rio St.
NW. Perhaps you or someone you know will qualify.
Please see the criteria below and spread the word.
Searching for Four Qualified Families
Qualifications
•First time homebuyer
•Low income per 2015/16 HUD income guidelines (if
qualified for assistance; families are usually applicable
for our program)
•Resident of Bernalillo County for at least 12 months
•All collection, derogatory, and judgment debt paid off
and three-year discharge on bankruptcy
•At least one year in the same line of work (full time),
disability/SSI/child support are sources of income,
student financial aid or food stamps not accepted
•Positive rental rating
•Pass a background and sex offender check; and
•Complete 500 hours of sweat equity on the

Delving into Development
Beth Goldman, Director of Resource Development
People will forget what you said. They will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you
made them feel. – Maya Angelou
Three years ago, when I stepped into the position of
Director of Resource Development at GAHH, I knew that
volunteers were essential for building Habitat homes.
After all, that’s one of the most well-known and highly
respected features of Habitat for Humanity…volunteers
build homes for low-income families in their communities
while meeting new people, gaining confidence, and
learning new skills. Everybody wins!
On the other hand, I had no idea that dozens of
volunteers also help out in the ReStore and GAHH
office on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. Today, I am
grateful and amazed to say that close to 300 people have
stepped forward and given their time enthusiastically to
the Development Department since I came on board.
Volunteers are everywhere!
So, what about the opening words from Maya
Angelou? “They will never forget how you made them
feel.” Not so long ago a volunteer, after one day on the
job, emailed me and said that she would not be coming
back. Disappointed and concerned I gave her a call and
here’s what I discovered. When she went home that first
day she felt that volunteering was going to add too much
stress to her life and that was not at all what she wanted.
I suggested that maybe we hadn’t yet found the right
niche for her skills and interests. I was encouraged when
she agreed to give volunteering one more shot. She
did come back and it took a little while to find the right
spot, but now she is a key volunteer in the Development
Department and works three hours/day, three times a
week. Is volunteering supposed to nurture the volunteer?
Absolutely!
Certainly, people volunteer with the idea of giving
back to their community, but studies also show that
volunteer activities can strengthen the social ties that
protect individuals from isolation during difficult times.
Volunteering and the experience of helping others
lead to a sense of greater self-worth and trust. Even
when controlling for other factors such as age, health,
and gender, research has found that when individuals
volunteer, they are more likely to live longer. Research
demonstrates that volunteering leads to better health

and that older volunteers are the most likely to receive
physical and mental health benefits from their volunteer
activities. Habitat strives to provide opportunities
for volunteers to reap the benefits while helping us
accomplish our mission.

Meet Bruce Haynes,
Finance Director
In starting a new position as finance
director for Greater Albuquerque Habitat
for Humanity (GAHH), one of the things I am amazed by
is the number of volunteers working
here on a daily basis. I have worked at
other not-for-profit organizations in
Albuquerque over the past 20 years,
but none of them have the volunteer
presence that work in every area of the
organization.
The administration area has
different people who assist in
answering phones, data entry of
Bruce Haynes,
Finance Director donor information, special projects,
and filing. The finance department is
blessed with Elaine Clements, who completes our filing,
data entry of receipts, and other miscellaneous duties on
a weekly basis with a smile and great attitude. She really
improves the operation of our finance department.
If you don’t have the time to volunteer, another way
to help GAHH is by
making donations that
allow us to achieve our
mission of helping low
income families achieve
the goal of owning their
own home. While you
probably are aware
of our ReStore that
accepts most building
materials, furniture, and Elaine Clements has assisted with
bookkeeping every week since
household appliances,
2010. That’s over 1,200 hours!
there is also a Cars for
Homes program where
used vehicles can be donated. Proceeds from the sale
of vehicles go back into the mission. More information
about this program can be found at www.habitatabq.org.
Of course, you can also make financial contributions to
GAHH that help to build homes.
As an organization with a lean staff, GAHH is extremely
thankful for the dedication of volunteers that come and
help on a regular basis. Our

every area from building construction to the ReStore and
administration. Their hard work allows staff to complete
the tasks necessary to efficiently run the organization.
Help build it!
