Annual Report - Rebuilding Together Peninsula

Annual Report
FY 2011
Our Leadership
Mike Nibbi
Seana O’Shaughnessy
President, Board of Directors
Executive Director
Is our Annual Report necessary? Is it an effective communication
tool? Does anyone actually read it? These are the questions we ask
ourselves every year. And each time we conclude that, yes, it is an
important document. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished with
your support, and we want to share those successes with you. We
also want you to know about changes, challenges, and our vision
for the future. We want you to understand how vital you are—as
donors, volunteers, in-kind supporters, advocates, referral partners,
clients—to our ongoing work in the community. We want to connect
with you. Call us, email us, become a Facebook friend, sign up for
our quarterly e-newsletter, follow us on Twitter—tell us what you
are thinking, ask questions, and provide suggestions. Still, in spite
of all this technology, the Annual Report remains our primary tool for
thanking our supporters and communicating with our constituents.
As you read on in the Annual Report, you will see that National
Rebuilding Day remains our signature program. Our sponsors,
captains, volunteers, homeowners, and community facility partners
make it an event like no other. If you have never personally participated in National Rebuilding Day, we’d love to have you join us in
April. Our financial position remains stable, thanks to the success
of Dreams Happen (our bi-ennial playhouse auction and fundraiser).
Our AmeriCorps members have helped increase the quality and
consistency of our work. We’ve launched an exciting partnership
with Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, which potentially
will serve as a model for the entire nation (more on that next year
as we wrap up the pilot phase).
This year truly has been transformative for Rebuilding Together
Peninsula. Three years into the economic meltdown and constrained
budgets, we decided to launch a new program. Safe at Home is a
year-round minor home repair program. Piloted in 2010 in partnership with Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Safe at Home is the
logical extension of our work in the community. We are able to serve
more people, complete important repairs before they become extensive and expensive renovations, and provide year-round volunteer
opportunities. In a single year we’ll have gone from completing 20
Safe at Home projects to 100. It has been extremely exciting for
the Board and Staff to see the need and to know that we can do
something about it.
We hope this Annual Report speaks to you about the important
work we are doing, the lives that are changed (volunteer and client),
and lets you know how essential you are to our continued impact
on the Peninsula.
Safe At Home
“We appreciate everything you guys do.
They’ve gone above and beyond on everything. I’ve really connected with a lot of the kids.
They listen to my stories –what I’ve done here—what I’ve done there.” - P A T T I

Truck driving brought countless opportunities for
homeowners Patti and Wes to haul landscaping
materials to their cabin tucked in the Redwood City
hills. The couple constantly worked on improving
their property, taking any chance they could get to
play with their tractor and move rocks in the yard.
But when Wes had a stroke ten years ago, the home renovations came to a halt. Patti became his fulltime caregiver and coach: “A lot of stuff got put on the side-burner. We focused on his rehabilitation.” By
the time the couple applied to Rebuilding Together Peninsula, Patti was hopping from board to board
on her deck every night to reach the laundry room and Wes hadn’t been able to access his beloved
yard in years.
Through the Safe at Home Minor Home Repair program, a
skilled volunteer team from Menlo Park Presbyterian
Church worked with Patti and Wes to replace
the decking outside the laundry room. High school
volunteers created a wheelchair-accessible pathway
throughout the backyard. Patti and Wes had
built a home together, but needed help
making it safe and accessible. Safe at Home
provides homeowners year-round with those
necessary but minor repairs.
“I love [our home]. We both love it.
This is heaven.” - W E S

Rebuilding Together Peninsula | Annual Report 2011
Mission
Rebuilding Together Peninsula builds volunteer partnerships to rehabilitate homes and
community facilities for low-income homeowners and neighbors — seniors, people with
disabilities, or families — so they can live independently in warmth and safety.
National Rebuilding Day
National Rebuilding Day always occurs
the last Saturday of April. It is the culmination of a year’s worth of planning
that brings together 3000 volunteers
to rebuild and restore the homes of
low-income homeowners and nonprofit
community facilities. Our partners include
corporations, service leagues, community
agencies, foundations, volunteer groups,
hospital districts, municipalities, and
individual donors. From landscaping to
complete renovations, NRD revitalizes
communities and helps individuals live
independently in warmth and safety.
Team Build
Team Builds offer community-minded
corporations and service organizations
opportunities for volunteer participation
that are scheduled to meet the needs of
the sponsoring group. Team Build days
are at least six hours long and take place
June through October. The projects are
similar in scope to those undertaken on
National Rebuilding Day. Each project
fosters goodwill and cooperation while
also providing much-needed repairs for
low-income homeowners and nonprofit
community facilities.
Safe at Home
The Safe at Home Minor Home Repair
program addresses the minor repair
needs of homeowners before the needs
become serious deferred maintenance
issues. Homeowners who cannot afford
even small home repairs receive help
with minor plumbing and electrical work,
debris removal, home accessibility, fire
safety measures, window, door, and gate
repair, and more. To be responsive to the
health and safety needs of our community, staff members and small teams of
skilled volunteers complete these minor
repairs on a year-round basis.

Vision
A safe and healthy home for every person.
Raise The Roof
RTP is the only local agency that provides free roof repair and replacement
services for low-income homeowners
and nonprofit community facilities.
Securing an adequate roof is critical to
ongoing home and building maintenance. Since 1994, RTP has repaired
or replaced 392 roofs. Our roof
replacements average $7,500 per roof.
However, because of the support we
receive from generous donors and roofers who contribute time and materials,
we are able to do this work on average
for half the actual cost.
Energy Efficiency Program
“Energy Teams” implement energy
efficiency measures on selected RTP
homes and community facilities. The
teams wrap water heaters; install
weather stripping and programmable
thermostats; provide compact fluorescent light bulbs; wrap pipes and
install Energy Star appliances such
as furnaces, water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers, and washers and
dryers. Homeowners are also provided
with important information on energy
programs like Energy Star rebates and
discounted PG&E services.
Youth Assisting Seniors (YAS)
YAS is a designed to help low-income,
elderly and disabled homeowners
maintain the exterior of their homes
through partnerships with local youth
service organizations. The YAS program
creates healthier, safer homes for
seniors who are aging in place. The
program reduces the chance of falls
while also increasing accessibility for
homeowners, healthcare professionals
and emergency services personnel.
Equally important, it encourages positive intergenerational experiences and
fosters compassion.

National Rebuilding Day
“We wish that we had words to thank you that would touch your
hearts as you have touched ours, but hopefully you already know what a difference you have made and
you will be proud of your efforts all of your lives. Thanks to you all, we are much
more comfortable in our home, dreams that we thought were impossible
came true and we will always remember your generous spirits.” - 2011 R E C I P I E N T
When we first met National Rebuilding
Day recipients Emily and John, they faced
mounting medical expenses, dwindling
finances and extensive repair needs.
Both had lost their jobs mid-way through
a kitchen remodel several years earlier,
and when Emily lost her leg to infection,
she could no longer access their second
story. After a year living in and out of
hospitals, Emily and John applied for repair help, but they felt grateful to simply
be at home.
The Pacifica firefighters, with funding from
Lowes and the leadership of longtime
construction captain Eddy Horodenski,
replaced their drafty windows, installed
countertops and a dishwasher to their
unfinished kitchen, replaced the entryway
flooring and installed grab bars and lever
knobs throughout. Volunteers made the
home that Emily and John had already
filled with hope and gratitude safer,
warmer and more accessible.This is just
one of the incredible National Rebuilding
Day stories.

Volunteer Captains
Volunteer Captains work closely with Construction Captains to recruit and organize the volunteer labor
needed for their sites. Without their help in managing over 3000 volunteers annually, we would not be
able to complete the number of projects we do. Volunteer Captains are critical to the work we do and
we thank each and every one for their dedicated efforts and enthusiasm!

Dreams Happen
One cannot exaggerate how important
the Dreams Happen Playhouse Auction and Gala has been to Rebuilding
Together Peninsula. Because of Dreams
Happen we have been able to replace
roofs and furnaces for our clients,
purchase a “home of our own,” and
weather the recent economic downturn
without cutting services to the community.
There are many people and groups who
make Dreams Happen a reality. Our host,
Stanford Shopping Center, is absolutely
fabulous. Their graciousness and generosity make the event such a joy. Not
only does Stanford Shopping Center
host the event, their merchants stock
the Dream Box Raffle and provide our
guests with a tasty dinner.
Every other year, talented architects,
designers, and builders share their creativity and expertise to build ingenious,
one-of-a-kind playhouses that delight
children and adults alike. 2011 was no
different.* In addition to the incredible
generosity of our builders and architects, is the dedicated committee that
plans and organizes the gala itself. This
year, our outstanding chairs Michele
Kirsch, Lisa Pedersen, Gary Ahern, and
John McNellis, created another spectacular event. And of course, without the
generous support of our underwriters
such as David Wollenberg and playhouse purchasers, we simply would not
have raised 20% of our budget for two
fiscal years.
We cannot thank often or loudly enough
everyone who makes Dreams Happen a
reality. You truly do make dreams come
true for our low-income neighbors.
