New homeowners participate in a rain barrel-making workshop as part of CHP’s post-buyer education programming. Rain barrels collect and hold rainwater from rooftops,which can be used for watering lawns and gardens. DEAR FRIENDS, In 2011, Community Housing Partners (CHP) worked to redefine affordable housing by promoting vitality in neighborhoods, fostering wealth-building for individuals, and contributing to a better environment for future generations. CHP’s commitment to this triple bottom line was evident in all of our activities, whether welcoming first-time owners to their new home or performing energy-conservation upgrades for hundreds of households. Through all of our actions, CHP remained focused on contributing to more sustainable communities, proving that “affordable” and “green” are not mutually exclusive in the world of housing. Although we continue to learn and grow as an organization, we think you will agree that 2011was full of exciting outcomes. We proudly welcome you to explore this report which highlights the social, economic, and environmental impact CHP and its partners have had on the people and places we serve in the past year. Sincerely, Jane Henderson Chair of the Board Janaka Casper President and CEO A volunteer helps plant native and drought-tolerant vegetation at CHP’s corporate office during a community service project. 1 REDEFINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ... CHP believes that all of our actions should contribute to stronger communities for future generations. In 2011, we accomplished the following as we worked toward our vision of socially, economically, and environmentallysustainable housing for low-income and lowwealth households: 5,000+ families housed in quality, affordable rental housing 66% of rental households headed by women 34% of rental households headed by a single parent or grandparent 32% of rental households headed by individuals over the age of 55 19,400,000 U.S. households struggle to secure safe, affordable housing. 2 THROUGH SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY $1,190,000 invested in resident services programs 3,149 nutritious snacks or meals distributed 315 youth attended after-school and/ or summer programs each month 2,985 units of preventative health care services adminstered to residents 5,193 resident visits to CHP computer labs 22 families purchased their first home with assistance from CHP’s homeownership team Homeownership is positively associated with children’s improved emotional and cognitive development, educational attainment, increased participation in extracurricular activities, and decreased behavioral problems. REDEFINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ... $290,000,000 THROUGH worth of affordable real estate assets managed Communities that offer more affordable housing options are proven to be economically stronger. However, the U.S. has lost more than a 1,000,000 affordable homes in the last 10 years. $80,000,000 leveraged across the southeastern U.S. through real estate development activities ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY 3,379 individuals trained in energy conservation and green-building skills Green economy sector jobs are the fastest growing in the country. By 2013, green building will account for 50% of all construction and support nearly 8,000,000 jobs. 370 jobs created in construction and related industries The average U.S. jobless rate in 2011 was 8.9%, resulting in a decline in individual spending power, a loss in potential national output, and a decrease in government tax revenues. 3 REDEFINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ... 25,000,000 gallons of water saved with conservation methods That is equivalent to roughly 37 Olympic-size swimming pools or $150,000 in annual water bills. 1,465,837 pounds of construction waste diverted from landfills through on-site recycling THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY 9,650,224 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions prevented from entering the atmosphere That is the equivalent to carbon dioxide emissions from 490,725 gallons of gasoline or the use of electricity in 546 homes for one year. Construction debris accounts for more than 1/5 of the nation’s waste. 4 4,540 people benefited from improved indoor air quality. Most of our exposure to pollutants occurs by breathing the air indoors, which is 2-5 times (and in some cases,100 times) more polluted than outdoor air. “I n project after project, the professionals [at CHP] have gone beyond the expected level of excellence to a standard that creates a built environment that is beautiful, extremely user-friendly, on-time, and on-budget. When issues arise, as they often do, the professionals of CHP are on the job with creative solutions, time- sensitive outcomes, and results that are win-win for all involved.” William E. Fuller, Ph. D. Senior Community Housing Officer Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) A new community center was built at Dolly Ann Apartments in Covington, Virginia during an extensive rehabilitation of the property in 2011. Funded in part with Low Income Housing Tax Credits, renovations included energy-efficient mechanical systems, appliances, and lighting; waterefficient fixtures; Energy Star® windows; low-VOC paints and finishes; native landscaping; and all-new kitchen cabinets, flooring, and roofing. 5 “I had heard much about the housing design work of CHP stemming from their commitment to social responsibility. Throughout the process, they demonstrated design sensitivity regarding the housing needs of people with disabilities as well as their integration into the local community. Further, by achieving EarthCraftTM certification for Victoria Ridge, CHP ensured the ongoing affordability of each tenant via energy-efficient design and reduced utility bills.” Jeffrey L. Smith Assistant Director Rush Lifetime Homes 6 Victoria Ridge is a 24-apartment community in Lynchburg, Virginia rented to individuals with disabilities. Designed for Rush Lifetime Homes by CHP’s architectural division, Community Design Studio (CDS), the facility demonstrates many accessible design features, while also featuring numerous energy-efficient measures and products. “I love my place. I enjoy being able to plant my flowers out on the patio. The community room is also great. I use it every day to do my exercises and work out with the ‘Wii Fit’ video game. I really love it here.” Janie Harper Resident, Lafayette Village Apartments “I ’ve been a CHP resident for four years. Our property manager has really made a difference. Her promptness and hard work at making our community a good place for everyone is very much appreciated. She is very devoted to all of the residents and the property. She has made this such a nice place to live. ” Sharon Bostic Resident, Normandy Apartments Janie Harper has been a resident at the Lafayette Village Elderly Apartments in Williamsburg, Virginia for over 10 years. 7 “T he community center has really allowed me to experience new things and also improve my life. While at the community center I am able to apply for jobs, finish applying to college, and much more. I truly appreciate what Resident Services has done for me.” Jennifer Perrin Resident, Yorktown Square/Rivermeade Apartments “O our community is a fun, educational environment for kids. There are mentors that actually listen to you and help. They offer stupendous homework help. It has a home-like environment.” Ashlee Green Youth resident, Cross Creek Apartments 8 Thirty CHP communities provide resident services to help individuals and families develop self sufficiency and economic stabililty by focusing on activities such as personal skill building, afterschool and summer youth programs, computer access and literacy, workforce development, adult literacy, financial fitness, homeownership readiness, and healthcare services. “W e both took a homeownership course through CHP and it was very helpful. It provided us with useful information regarding our personal finances, creating a budget, applying for a mortgage, and just understanding all the terminology associated with buying a home. I highly recommend this class to folks even thinking about buying a home. We wouldn’t be in a home without CHP. We feel so blessed and fortunate to be able to live in such a wonderful, affordable house that is so close to where we work.” Amy and Stephen Englund Homeowners - Blacksburg, Virginia Newlyweds Stephen and Amy Englund particpated in CHP’s homebuyer education classes before purchasing their first home in Blacksburg, Virginia. The new residence was CHP-designed and built, and sold to the couple through CHP Realty. 9 “H omeownership empowers me. It’s a place of stability in my life, so it means security to me. Owning my own home was so long coming, so when it finally came...I was so happy. Just being able to own my own home is amazing. It’s mine -no more renting!” Leonard Walker Homeowner - Pulaski, Virginia “B uying a home is a great step to take, especially if you are purchasing one for the first time. One needs great support and dependable people to be with you on the journey. Our family found this support in CHP Realty.” The Abazis Homeowners - Blacksburg, Virginia 10 First-time homebuyer Leonard Walker proudly shows off his new EarthCrattTMcertified home in Pulaski, Virginia. “I f I didn’t have my new heat pump, I’d be burning up in here this summer. I’m sure I’ll also be glad for it this winter when it starts to freeze up outside. And having a new floor is going to make a big difference in me getting around in my wheelchair.” Frank Craig Homeowner - Blacksburg, Virginia “I want to thank CHP for giving me a wood stove. My old one was almost 20 years old and very small. The crew even cleaned the chimney for me, which is a blessing being that I am 63 years old and disabled. It makes me happy to know there are services out there like this one to help the people in this community.” Douglas Arthur Homeowner - Strasburg, Virginia CHP Rehabilitation Specialist John O’Donnell assesses one of several large floor holes created by water damage in the mobile home of Frank Craig, a disabled senior citizen in Christiansburg, Virginia. Prior to assistance from CHP’s weatherization team, Craig had an inefficient furnace and window air conditioning unit, a dilapidated plumbing system that provided hot water to only half the house, deteriorated flooring, and an exterior door too small to allow the passage of his wheelchair. 11 “W e were truly blessed to have [an NRCERT trainer] come and train us today. He provided a great training with wonderful passion. Folks truly bragged on his ability to convey the material and make a practical difference. We cannot impact the Charlotte community without organizations like y’all encouraging, equipping, and challenging us to serve. In this particular partnership, a family will be spared from being exposed to a gas leak.” Tim O’Neill Director of Critical Home Repair Habitat for Humanity Charlotte A trainer with CHP’s New River Center for Energy Research and Training (NRCERT) uses the latest equipment and hands-on experience to demonstrate how to test a furnace. 12 “I had always wanted to get a home energy audit and CHP’s cafe2 divison made it really easy for me. After finding out the audit results, I decided it made sense to have the house retrofitted by sealing the crawl-space ducts, spraying insulation in the attic, and insulating the storage space. It’s too soon to tell yet what my [energy] savings will be on this house, but I know I’ll be spending less than I do now. I wish I had done an audit on my previous home because it was old and definitely needed it!” Jeff Bond Homeowner An energy auditor uses a blower door test to determine a home’s airtightness and how much energy it consumes. Launched in the summer of 2011, CHP’s cafe2 (Community Alliance for Energy Efficiency), also helps homeowners pinpoint potential safety issues and determine what and how measures can be taken to make a home healthier and more energy efficient. 13 AWARDS AND RECOGNITION CHP takes great pride in producing welldesigned communities that are attractive, efficient, and competitvely-priced. Throughout all phases of development, design, and construction, emphasis is placed on the financial, social, and environmental well being of its residents.
