2012 Imagine Housing Achievement Report
ACHIEVEMENT REPORT 2012
We are changing lives every day.
Dear Supporters and Friends,
Step by step, the residents of Imagine Housing find stability and success —
thanks to their own determination and to your unwavering support of our
mission. Because of you, we are able to provide families, veterans, seniors
and other residents with more than just a safe place to live.
We foster opportunity. We encourage them to dream.

A stable home offers peace of mind.
As a result, residents can spend more
quality time with their families.
They can attend to their basic needs,
including addressing major health
issues, so their overall well-being
dramatically improves.
Abbie Birmingham
Day by day, residents begin to dream
about a brighter future. They set
personal, educational, financial and
professional goals to make their vision a
reality. People who may have struggled
all their adult lives decide to go back
to school, create family budgets, and
secure steady income. Many choose
to give back to their community and
support their own neighbors in need.

A family finds peace
and stability
Sam, Jessica and Kenny have found
stability and joy in their new home.
At first, Jessica Nelson didn’t think
of herself as a victim of domestic
violence. Her husband’s threats,
outbursts of temper and controlling
behavior fell short of what she felt
was “battering.”
But when his increasingly violent actions one day were directed
toward their toddler son, Sam, Jessica gathered up the strength
to walk out… but found that she had no place of her own to
walk out to.
She spent some time in transitional housing, had a few periods of
doubt about leaving her husband for good, and started counseling
through her church and a support group. Then, Jessica found
Imagine Housing’s Johnson Hill community in Issaquah.
“When you are recovering from different abuses, things on the
outside have to be stable so you can address the things on the
inside,” explains Jessica, who also was traumatized by abuse as a
child. “If I had to scramble to find housing, worried about where
we’d stay next, I don’t think I would have had the strength to do it.
I’m afraid I would’ve stayed in a broken state.”
Settled into her apartment, Jessica says, “I started to believe in
myself again.”
“Having a permanent, affordable place to live meant everything
to us,” she recalls, as her two boys — Sam, now 8, and Kenny,
3 — play quietly in the living room. “It felt peaceful, like a place
that I could start from. Here, I felt like I knew how to build.”
Jessica is home-schooling Sam as they address behavioral and
learning issues likely stemming from his early life in a violent,
chaotic household. Sam attends twice-weekly homework clubs
offered by Imagine Housing at Johnson Hill, and Jessica has
benefited from the support of an on-site Imagine Housing
staffer who has connected her to many beneficial family
resources.
Today, Jessica leads a support group for domestic violence
survivors.
“I’ve become a voice encouraging other women that there’s hope,
that they are not victims,” she says. “I have joy and peace in
my life. My kids are doing well. I am a good example to other
women who feel like I used to feel.”

Building to meet a growing need
The need for affordable housing continues to
quickly outpace the availability in East King County.
Low-income families and individuals make up
nearly one in every 10 Eastside households, yet
affordable housing units make up less than one
in 100 available homes. Thanks to your support,
Imagine Housing is helping to fill this wide gap.
Right now, your generous donations are making it possible
for us to add 313 new permanent affordable homes for those
who need our help the most.
A new 58-apartment building in South Kirkland will open in
late 2014 to help combat a major roadblock to self-sufficiency
— the high cost of transportation. Located at the redeveloped
South Kirkland Park & Ride, this housing community will
give residents easy access to many community resources
using public transportation.
We will break ground next year on 160 apartment homes in
beautiful Snoqualmie Ridge. Nestled in the foothills of the
Cascades, this housing community will offer
working families an affordable place to raise their
children in the community where they work.
As the population of East King County ages,
the need for affordable senior housing increases.
With your support, we are preparing to build
95 affordable homes for seniors in Totem Lake,
next to Imagine Housing’s recently opened
Francis Village.
When people know they have a stable place to
live, they can better focus on their families, their
education, their jobs and their community —
reducing their dependence on public services,
breaking the cycle of poverty and ensuring a
stronger community for us all.
NOTE: To protect the privacy of our residents,
we often use stock photos to represent the
members of our housing communities.
Working with the VA to end
homelessness for veterans
When we opened Andrew’s Glen in late 2011, we focused
on serving homeless veterans. We partnered with the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs, which understands the
challenges faced by veterans reentering civilian society. The
VA has provided Andrew’s Glen with enormous financial
and educational support.
Paul Mocha of the VA says the success rates for Andrew’s
Glen residents are among the highest in the nation. He
applauds Imagine Housing for “successfully partnering with
the VA to secure the resources necessary to ensure stable
housing for and end homelessness among veterans.”

Imagine Housing
“put me back together again”
Quiana and her mom enjoy a sunny day at a local park,
just blocks from Quiana’s new home.
Standing on the steps of the State
Capitol earlier this year, Quiana Ross
rallied a crowd of 600 to speak out
for affordable housing. That day, those
steps, were a long way from Bosnia,
Kosovo and the bleak Seattle storage
unit that she used to call home.
After enlisting in the Army at just 16 and serving several years
as a medical specialist, a post-service job layoff and health issues
left Quiana disheartened, stressed and homeless. Still, she was
determined to regain the sense of purpose she had in the military
and enrolled in college as a next step. But she needed support.
Then, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs connected her with
Imagine Housing.
“All of a sudden I had a key to a door I could lock. I felt safe and
secure. I could sleep well and go to my therapy appointments,”
Quiana says. “I don’t know where or who I would be today if that
turn of the key into my Andrew’s Glen home had never taken place.”
When she felt herself slipping back into depression, she turned
to the on-site Imagine Housing staff person who “helped me
learn to trust again. Not only was I provided a roof, I was given
compassion. Andrew’s Glen was the glue that put me back
together. Then they were the bubble wrap so I knew that if I did
fall I wouldn’t break again.”
Today, Quiana has completed her prerequisites for a physician
assistant degree at Bellevue College and has applied to a
University of Washington graduate program created especially
for veterans with medical experience.
She lives in a new permanent home in Bellevue, but she remains
deeply connected to Imagine Housing. She visits her friends at
Andrew’s Glen, participates on a board and various committees,
and has become an impassioned advocate.
At the Capitol rally, “I felt like I was making a difference,
helping others find their voice,” Quiana says. “I’m happy to be
part of Imagine Housing, to give people the opportunity to feel
revived and alive. Knowing someone cares makes a world of
difference.”

The recipe for transformation
The secret ingredient that
transforms our residents’ lives isn’t
Here are a few examples of how Imagine
Housing residents have transformed their
lives, with our help and your support:
• Kaleb and his family of four moved
something that Imagine Housing
provides, but rather something
that we set free. It’s our residents’
own dreams for their lives, and it’s
their confidence to achieve them.
People enter our affordable housing
communities with great strengths, talents
and abilities. But the challenges that
many of them have faced — domestic
violence, homelessness, mental health
issues, job loss, poverty, and lack of
education and opportunity — have eroded
their confidence. Without the support
and stability they need to recover this
confidence, they’re lost.
into an apartment at our Chalet
community after two months in
a local shelter. Unemployed and
receiving limited benefits, Kaleb
told us he wanted to go to school to
get his Certified Nursing Assistant
qualifications. Through the support of
our generous donors, we were able to
pay for these classes and soon Kaleb
secured a job at an assisted living
facility in Bellevue.
• Living at Rose Crest with her family,
Then they come to Imagine Housing.
When we first meet with residents, we invite
them to imagine their future. Then we work
intentionally and sensitively to help them
craft goals to realize that vision. And when
people know that someone else believes in
them and is there to support them, they
become empowered and motivated to set
and achieve powerful goals.
Amber told our team she hoped to
start an Alcoholics Anonymous group
in the community. We reached out
to the Eastside Interfaith Network
and they were able to connect Amber
with an experienced AA leader in the
neighborhood. Within a few months,
Amber began co-leading an AA group,
fulfilling her desire to give back to her
community.
“Imagine Housing is a recognized leader in developing
permanent affordable rental housing and providing
supportive services. We are proud to support
Imagine Housing in realizing their vision.”

• Albert dreamed of starting his own
gardening business, so we helped him
acquire the tools he needed. As the
business has successfully grown, Albert
has found that while gardening comes
naturally to him, managing a business
is challenging. To support him on the
business management side, we secured
a free computer and inexpensive
internet access for Albert and now
help him file his quarterly taxes and
create budgets to effectively manage
his new enterprise.
Your support, our impact
• More than 9 out of 10 formerly homeless
families were able to maintain their stable
housing after their first year with us.
• Almost every single adult who came to us
after being homeless chose to work with our
team to develop personal goals and plans for
their lives.
• Nearly 7 out of 10 adults who were
unemployed but able to work when they
arrived at Imagine Housing secured a job
within one year.
Children empowered to succeed
in school and in life
Imagine Housing provides after-school
and summer programs to our young
residents, strengthening their academic
and technical skills and fostering a lifelong
love of learning. We also work with them
to develop their confidence and leadership
skills, all toward the goal of breaking the
cycle of poverty in their families. Here are
a few of the ways we’ve helped Imagine
Housing children in the past year:
• Kids feel engaged when they have a
voice. We created a suggestion box
where students can offer input on
activities to be included in after-school
programming. Their good ideas
led us to separate elementary and
middle school students so that each
group receives more individualized
programs; introduce opportunities
for them to learn to bake; invest in
more sports equipment, resulting in
increased participation in activities;
and organize arts activities that are fun
and research-proven to be therapeutic.
Your support, our impact
• More than half of the children who
participated in our after-school homework
activities made observable academic
improvements over the past year.
• Three-fourths of the youth who took part in
after-school programs developed stronger and
more effective interpersonal skills.
• More than 8 out of 10 children demonstrated
• This generation of kids wants to
make a difference in the world. So
we’re giving them opportunities to
serve their communities. Middle
school students now are helping to
tutor younger students. We have
taken groups of youth to volunteer
at Eastside Baby Corner and with
Mountains to Sound Greenway,
potting trees at Lake Sammamish
State Park. Kids feel so empowered by
these opportunities that they continue
to ask for more ways to get involved.
• When elementary school students
expressed an interest in creative
writing, we introduced activities for
them to practice. We also acquired or
replaced computers in the community
rooms so that students can write and
save their stories.
• For the first two years that Jonny
attended after-school programs
at Rose Crest, he showed severe
behavioral issues. Our team tailored
their interactions with Jonny to meet
his unique needs and developed a
strong relationship with him and his
mother. Recently, Jonny’s mother
invited a staff member to participate
in his Individualized Education Plan
meeting at school and to collaborate
with school staff to develop a plan
that supports Jonny’s behavioral
and learning progress. Jonny now is
receiving 360 degrees of support to
ensure his social and academic success.
leadership strengths over the course of the year
when given the opportunity to volunteer, lead
activities or resolve conflict.

“Imagine Housing’s mission grabbed our hearts, and we’ve been
supporters since 1995. By offering safe, healthy, affordable
housing and supportive services, Imagine Housing touches the
lives of so many individuals and families who could not otherwise
live in the area we love. With Andrew’s Glen’s focus on homes
for formerly ‘homeless veterans’ — two words that should never
be used together — and as a 26-year U.S. Air Force family, we
became even more passionately committed.”
