ANNUAL REPORTFiscal Year July 2013 - June 2014

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We have successfully ended another year providing a wealth of services to

homeowners in need. This year was particularly rewarding as we increased

the number of homes completed while transitioning to a more experienced

team. Moving forward, we’ll have adequate support towards our growth

without sacrificing the quality of our work and services. The expansion of

our internal staff capacity has also allowed us the opportunity to increase

our outreach efforts, thus making a substantial difference in many more

lives. Let’s not forget the impact we made in the lives of our local

heroes in November of 2013. One local veteran, in particular, and his

three daughters received extensive repairs to their home with the

support of our national and local partners, as well as in-kind donors.

Witnessing their gratitude and appreciation of knowing they have a

safer home was very rewarding.

Another exciting moment was the kickoff of the “Building Community

Together” initiative with Sears Home Services and DIY expert and TV

personality, Ty Pennington. More than 100 volunteers came together to

renovate an old church that will be converted into the Tampa Heights

Youth Development and Community Center, aimed at

offering children and young adults expanded access to education,

information, training and other resources in a safe, friendly and

functional environment. Meanwhile, we also witnessed the

substantial rehab services provided to four additional homeowners

in the neighborhood on the same day.

Many homeowners from Tampa to St. Petersburg are now living in

a healthier and safer home because of your support, whether

financially or through your volunteer efforts. This is what makes

Rebuilding Together an effective tool at having a positive impact

on the lives of low-income communities in Tampa Bay.

A new year is upon us, and it is our hope that you continue to

help us further our mission as we successfully reach many more

goals through additional partnerships, support from existing and

future sponsors and the commitment of our staff and Board of

Directors.

We invite you to join us as we continue to revitalize lives and

communities by providing safer, healthier and more

energy-efficient housing to a larger number of low-income

families and individuals in 2015.

Thank you for all of your past support and future

contributions towards our efforts.

What I think is amazing about the ‘Building Community Together’ initiative is that you have local people helping to improve the lives of their neighbors.

— DIY expert and TV personality, Ty Pennington

Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay | Annual Report 2013–2014 | 9

Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay is proud to celebrate its 15 year anniversary in 2015. More importantly, we’re most

proud of being able to make a difference in our community. Our commitment extends beyond just rehabbing a home.

We aim to preserve homeowners’ hopes, pride and love of community for many more years. Read on to learn about

some exciting projects we will be launching in 2015!

Building a Healthier Sulphur Springs – This program is specific to residents of the Sulphur Springs neighborhood in

the City of Tampa. It will provide repairs and modifications (free of charge) to owner and tenant-occupied homes.

The program includes a healthy home component, entitled the Healthy Home Service Package, wherein the homes

of program participants will be thoroughly assessed and will receive the necessary installation of housing materials

ensuring they have healthier, safer and more energy-efficient living conditions. We anticipate the “Building a

Healthier” concept will become a turnkey program for other neighborhoods in the future.

100 Roofs campaign – A healthy home starts with a healthy roof. Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay will aim to completely

replace 100 roofs for deserving homeowners. It’s a huge endeavor, but we dream big at RTTB and will do everything

we can to fulfill this dream.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR RTTB?

I had many doubts and was actually in

disbelief this could actually be

happening. Soon after working with Jose

and the staff at RTTB, those doubts

turned into hopes and an overwhelming

feeling of gratitude that my prayers had

been answered.
