During a period of sustained uncertainty in our economy, Rebuilding Together continued to provide safe and healthy housing and community spaces for more than 550,000 low-income people in 2012. This year’s annual report demonstrates how our mission of improving the lives and homes of low-income homeowners supports the growing needs of our aging populations, veterans, those with disabilities and those who have lost their ability to maintain the viability of their home.
In 2012, more than 10,000 projects nationwide were completed by our 187 affiliates with the assistance and dedication of 100,000 volunteers, businesses and community leaders. Our rehabilitative efforts have collectively reinvested $91 million into our neighborhoods, allowing them to thrive.
Rebuilding Together’s family of sponsors supported our work through projects, volunteer engagement, financial giving and campaigns. We welcomed new sponsors and businesses into our family, including Crate and Barrel. We celebrated our sixth successful year with Sears and our Heroes at Home campaign, which has resulted in nearly $2 million in grants awarded to 120 affiliates.
Rebuilding Together’s Building a Healthy Neighborhood 2012 project in Philadelphia set a true benchmark in rehabilitation efforts, volunteer engagement and impact. We spent three days in the Overbrook neighborhood of Philadelphia, where dozens of homes received critical repairs and renovations and homeowners experienced a renewed sense of safety, sustainability and pride in their community. In addition to rebuilding homes, we also helped revitalize Overbrook’s community center and built a playground, in association with Carter’s Kids and Lowe’s.
The momentum created through Building a Healthy Neighborhood 2012 allowed us to complete many other notable and innovative projects, including Craftsman’s House United. The House United project joined two halves of a modular home in Charlotte and was given to an Army veteran during the Republican and Democratic Conventions.
The importance of our mission was underscored in October 2012 when Superstorm Sandy devastated countless cities and towns throughout the east coast. Families lost homes, businesses were shut down and communities were destroyed. Rebuilding Together and our affiliates rose to the challenge. Through the support of our sponsors, volunteers and critical
work by many of our affiliates, we pledged to rebuild 200 Sandy-affected homes and community centers by 2014. As of July 2013, we have surpassed that goal, and are committed to completing as many additional projects
as funding will allow in order to help rebuild the lives and communities of those affected by Sandy.
Rebuilding Together’s impact reached new heights in 2012 as we received our 8th consecutive 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator. Their highest rating recognizes our exceptional financial stewardship.
Our accomplishments, our response to challenges and our journey would not be possible without your support and continued participation in our work. We hope that you continue to help us rebuild the foundations that are so essential to healthy families, secure homes and better communities in the years to come.
Dear Rebuilding Together Friends and Supporters,

Andrea and Brian Spencer have lived in their Philadelphia home in the Overbrook neighborhood for 14 years. They have two sons, Matthew, 4, Richard, 2, and a beagle named Tiger.
Andrea became a stay at home mom when her eldest son was born. She remained at home caring for her two children while Brian worked to support their family. However, Brian was laid off in 2011, forcing Andrea to find a job. She found one working the graveyard shift. These grueling hours left this mother with only two hours of sleep a night before she had to wake up to get her kids to school. This job gave the Spencers just enough to keep their water flowing, electricity on and fridge stocked.
Due to their low finances, they had to give up the usual roof repairs they did every three years. They also had to forsake fixing their doors and a leaky faucet. This faucet grew so bad that it filled a gallon jug in a matter of minutes. It was financially impossible for Andrea and Brian to feed their children and maintain a safe and healthy home.
A neighbor alerted Andrea that Rebuilding Together was doing their Building a Healthy Neighborhood event in
Overbrook. The Spencers quickly applied. When they found out they qualified for receiving free critical home repairs, Andrea said, “We were in a joyful shock, a dream – suspended in animation.”
Andrea described her home before the renovations as loving, but with a heavy weight on her and Brian’s shoulders. “We were scared, worried and a bit hopeless. I didn’t want the house to fall apart. We care about it.”
Matthew and Richard became close with the volunteers working on their home. Volunteers bonded with Andrea’s children and would spend time with them during the project.
The family’s favorite renovation to their home is their new kitchen, which was in need of critical repairs to make it safe and healthy. Rebuilding Together installed new floors, insulation, new appliances and gave the walls a fresh coat of paint. “I totally love everything, but it’s my favorite. I spend so much time in the kitchen. I feel excited. It’s like a new home. The energy of the people who worked here left an imprint and it radiates every day. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel the newness.”
Andrea also saw this positivity extend to her whole neighborhood. She remembered how her neighbors showed happiness for the Rebuilding Together recipients. “Rebuilding Together made it feel like we were all in it together. Our community belonged to that endeavor, to that sincerity and devotion. The volunteers worked like they were in it with us. We all felt supported.”
Before the Building a Health Neighborhood event, Andrea said that Overbrook was quaint and cordial. The residents were busy with their own lives and familial needs. “People opened up and their hearts expanded during the project,”
Andrea said recollecting the renovation days.
Andrea has since left her late night job to start a
new one at a local school. Her pay is about the same, but the hours allow her to spend more time with her kids and to catch up on much needed sleep.
She said about the whole experience, “I thank Rebuilding Together every day of my life. I love all those volunteers. I appreciate them and my heart goes out to them wherever they may be.”

Kirt Rushlow has been a stellar volunteer for Rebuilding Together affiliates all over the country. Kirt first heard about Rebuilding Together in Boy Scouts from a friend of his. His friend showed him a newspaper article, which prompted the young Kirt to check out a meeting. He quickly joined and was made a House Captain his first year of volunteering. He and his friend continued to volunteer together for 12 years before his friend moved away.
Kirt, 51, grew up in Oakland County, Michigan. He still resides in Michigan today. However, he hasn’t shown any favoritism to the Rebuilding Together Oakland County affiliate. Kirt has traveled all over the country to help Rebuilding Together, and more importantly, to help people who need safe and healthy housing. Kirt has volunteered in Oakland County, Louisiana, Detroit and Philadelphia over the last couple decades. Kirt said he can’t wait to go back to help out in Louisiana, an annual trip for this volunteer.
Kirt currently works as a self-employed carpenter. He’s multi-talented and can do electrical and plumbing work on sites.
When you talk to Kirt, you get the feeling that he’d much rather be helping someone right now than just talk about doing it. A man of few words, his most enthusiastic responses came when he started talking about the recipients. “I like how rewarding it is. I like helping people who can’t help themselves. One lady we helped had MS, and she did data entry work for us because she was so grateful. She came in with her wheelchair and did what she could.”
There is one volunteer moment Kirt will never forget. He helped install a ramp on a recipient’s house to make it
wheelchair accessible. “Back in June, a mother and her son came down this ramp for the first time. The son had a real big smile on his face.”
“My friend’s husband wanted to go with me because I had been talking about Louisiana. I told him it’s rewarding. If you do it once, you’ll get addicted.” His friend’s husband now tries to volunteer every year.

John Whitaker has dedicated decades to supporting Rebuilding Together and helping low-income homeowners live in a safe and healthy home. This former White House staffer and lobbyist found himself with a lot more free time after retiring. “My wife wanted me in sickness and in health but not for lunch,” joked Mr. Whitaker.
A family friend mentioned Rebuilding Together to Mr. Whitaker and the mission of bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners in need. He then met with Patty Johnson, a founding member of Rebuilding Together, and John White, Rebuilding Together’s chief business officer, and became a quick supporter after that. He served with Rebuilding Together’s national board in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He has been an active supporter of Rebuilding Together’s golf tournament for 18 years. And even after all these years, he remains very close with Patty and John.
He’s seen the organization grow from being in 13 cities across 7 states to having nearly 200 affiliates in over 40
states today. “It’s great seeing that trajectory,” Mr. Whitaker said thinking back on his time with Rebuilding Together. Mr. Whitaker truly believes this growth wouldn’t have been possible without John. He said John’s hard work and drive is what helped Rebuilding Together expand. “John got them started,” Mr. Whitaker said remembering how John would scout and find businesses to support Rebuilding Together’s
mission.
Housing wasn’t a lifelong passion of Mr. Whitaker’s. However, Mr. Whitaker quickly fell in love with seeing the joy on
homeowners’ faces after the volunteers finished their work. “There’s a huge market of people who need help,” Mr. Whitaker said. In fact, he said that the struggle of low-income homeowners is something he thinks about every day.
As for anyone debating whether or not to support Rebuilding Together, Mr. Whitaker said, “Come on in. It’s a great organization.”

Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation Throughout 2012, Lowe’s played a key role in supporting Rebuilding Together by sponsoring major marquee events as well as providing project support to the network via the fall grant cycle. Major marquee events included Kickoff to Rebuild in Indianapolis and Building a Healthy Neighborhood in Philadelphia as well as four Rebuild a Block projects, each with the intent of revitalizing a neighborhood in need. All of these projects included a new playground completed in partnership with Carter’s Kids to further promote the message of safer and healthier neighborhoods.

Maxwell House and Kraft Foods Global, Inc. Building on the momentum of 2011, Maxwell House partnered with Rebuilding Together for a second year of Drops of Good: The Maxwell House Community Project in 2012. Through the campaign, online voters from across the country determined which 3 of 10 deserving community centers received $50,000 worth of critical rehabilitation services. However, everyone was a winner, with the remaining 7 centers received smaller grants to help them continue doing good in their community.
With the help of a specially-equipped truck, Drops of Good then “hit the road” to
provide renovations in the winning cities and bringing change to communities in need and inspiring hope along the way. Special celebrity volunteers included: country music superstar Trace Adkins, former Minnesota Twins star pitcher Brad Radke and home and gardening TV host Katie Brown. With their support, community interest and excitement were higher than ever and they were joined by nearly 600 community volunteers who spent 3,500 hours renovating the winning community centers in Charlotte, NC, St. Paul, MN and Detroit, MI.

Special House United Project Unites Both Parties Craftsman, Sears Heroes at Home, Rebuilding Together, NextGen Home built by Champion and Bank of America teamed up on a community service project to honor a deserving veteran at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Together, they built one half of a home in Tampa during the RNC and the other half of the home in Charlotte at the DNC.
Elected OfficialsRebuilding Together affiliates across the country hosted elected officials on National Rebuilding Day 2012, when the network completed work on over 3,000 homes with the help of 50,000 volunteers. In total, 74 officials—including 11 Members of Congress and 16 Mayors—visited project sites to see firsthand the great work being done by their local affiliate. These visits serve as the foundation for strong, lasting relationships with policymakers at every level of government.
Rebuilding Together’s Veterans Assistance ProposalRebuilding Together’s veterans legislative proposal, the Housing Assistance for Veterans Act (HAVEN Act), was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Al Green (TX) and in the Senate by Sen. Jack Reed (RI) and Sen. Mike Johanns (NE). The bill would create a competitive grant program for funds that could be used by nonprofits to provide home repairs and modifications to veterans with disabilities who are ineligible under current VA criteria. The bill came very close to passing in December, but was ultimately held up. Congressman Green reintroduced the HAVEN Act in 2013 as HR. 385, restoring hope for passage in the new Congress.

As the 2012 presidential election kicked into high gear during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, the Craftsman brand was doing its part to build a House United. Craftsman, as well as Heroes at Home, NextGen Home built by Champion Home Builders and Bank of America, asked Americans across the country and delegates at both conventions to work with Rebuilding affiliates in two cities to build a home for one of our country’s deserving military veterans. By signing a petition at www.facebook.com/craftsman, people joined the Craftsman brand in encouraging their state delegates to participate.
As part of Craftsman House United, national TV personality and DIY expert Ty Pennington led the charge to build one half of a home during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL, on Tuesday, August 28, and the other half of the home during the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, on Monday, September 3. Delegates, elected officials and their staff, convention attendees and media in both locations literally drove nail, installed flooring and painted walls alongside Pennington during the events.
“We did some pretty amazing things during my 10 years of traveling the U.S., renovating homes and ‘moving that bus.’ One thing I never had the chance to do was build parts of a home in two different cities, and then bring the two halves
together,” said Pennington. “I am so excited and proud to be a part of the Craftsman House United program and provide a military veteran in need with a new home.”
“Although Americans may not always agree on political philosophies, Craftsman House United is a program that we can all stand behind,” said Michael Castleman, president, Kenmore, Craftsman and DieHard, SVP Sears Holdings. “This community service initiative honors one of our military heroes and participating is just one way Americans can express appreciation for our military’s service to this country.”
The two halves of the home were united in the Belmont neighborhood of Charlotte during the month of October and then
donated to U.S. Army veteran John H. Jones II and his family. Stationed in Virginia, Mr. Jones served from 2000 to 2010. During his service, Mr. Jones was deployed on two tours of duty in Iraq where he served as a war craft operator. Mr. Jones is unable to work due to the severity of his PTSD and other injuries sustained in the war and at one point his family was left homeless. Thanks to the House United project, the Jones family now has a beautiful home to call their own and a chance to gain stability and rebuild their lives.

Rebuilding Together’s Building a Healthy Neighborhood project with Lowe’s recruited hundreds of volunteers, local leaders and officials to rehabilitate nearly 30 homes in the Overbrook neighborhood in Philadelphia from June 14 to 16, 2012. The work addressed local families’ critical needs, including major interior and exterior rehabilitations, accessibility modifications and energy efficient upgrades. The volunteers participated in community clean-up and the installation of a new playground at the Overbrook Environmental Education Center in partnership with Carter Oosterhouse’s nonprofit Carter’s Kids.
Building a Healthy Neighborhood demonstrates the positive effects of home and neighborhood revitalization on the overall health of homeowners, families and communities, showcasing the work done by Rebuilding Together around the country.
“Rebuilding Together’s core belief that everyone deserves a safe and healthy home is brought to actualization through incredible rebuilding initiatives like Building a Healthy Neighborhood and the sponsors and volunteers who support our work,” said Gary A. Officer, former president and CEO of Rebuilding Together. “The work we do is absolutely essential to the continued sustainability of America’s communities, and we are proud to work in Philadelphia to ensure that its
neighborhoods remain healthy and viable.”
Volunteers from Lowe’s, Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, Saint Gobain Corporation, Choice Hotels, Wells Fargo, Citrin Cooperman, Rebuilding Together’s CapacityCorps alumni and HGTV and DIY Network revitalized the Overbrook neighborhood and community center, as part of Rebuilding Together’s mission to provide a safe and healthy home for every person.

The Patty R. Johnson Community Builder Award, named after founding Rebuilding Together President Patty Johnson, is awarded to an individual or corporation which best exemplifies dedicated service and leadership to communities in need.
This year, the award went to Kraft Foods Group, INC and Maxwell House for their overwhelming support as President’s Circle Sponsors. Their Drops of Good campaign has helped renovate community centers all around the nation since 2011.
The Urban Ministry Center in Charlotte, NC, the American Indian Family Center in St. Paul, MN, and Center for Urban Youth and Family Development in Detroit, MI, all received $50,000 grants from the Drops of Good program in 2012. A branded Drops of Good and Rebuilding Together truck delivered even more supplies and donations to all three community centers.
Through Drops of Good, eight community centers have received $50,000 donations for critical repairs. Twelve other organizations received $5,000 grants. The renovations of these 20 community centers impacted more than 200,000 community members.
Wheel of Fortune also partnered with Drops of Good. Every time a contestant won the Bonus Round, another $2,500 was donated to help revitalize communities. Vanna White was even on hand to break ground on a community garden in 2012. This has led to greater media exposure for Rebuilding Together and a surge of social media impressions.
In 2012, Drops of Good also featured high profile public figures renovating these local community centers. The Urban Ministry Center saw Trace Adkins, country music star, swing
hammers. Brad Radke, former star pitcher of the Minnesota Twins, picked up a paint brush to revitalize the American Indian Family Center. TV show host Katie Brown lent a helping hand at the Center for Urban Youth and Family Development.
Their hard work and dedication revitalized communities and greatly expanded Rebuilding Together’s brand and mission. All of these efforts made them more than deserving of the Patty R. Johnson Community Builder Award. Congratulations, Kraft Foods Group, INC and Maxwell House!

Tradesperson of the Year 2012Joel HambergTradesperson of the Year celebrates a tradesperson who gives back to the community, adds value to his/her industry and is committed to helping others. Everyone who belongs to a skilled trades organization is eligible, from plumbers to carpenters, HVAC mechanics to electricians, inspectors to painters.
Joel Hamberg, a painter from Portland, OR, won the second annual Rebuilding Together Tradesperson of the Year contest. Rebuilding Together partnered with WD-40 Company, On the House with the Carey Brothers, ServiceMagic, HGTV and DIY Network, and Craftsman Tools to find skilled tradespersons throughout the U.S. that give back to their communities and add value to their industries.
Joel is a community leader who uses his knowledge of and passion for painting to help people in need. Joel was nominated for the work he completed at the historic Hollywood Theatre, donating more than $60,000 in materials and labor to restore the historic building. He also encouraged other tradespeople to contribute and
has been instrumental in turning around the historic building and the entire organization it represents.
As the Grand Prize winner, Joel won a trip for two to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, $500 spending cash, tools and products courtesy of Sears and a selection of WD-40 brand products.

Superstorm Sandy hit the New Jersey and New York Area in October 2012. Many longstanding Rebuilding Together affiliates serve homeowners in communities affected by the storm. We assessed homeowner and community needs, our capacity to support the long-term recovery and promised to take on more than 200 Sandy-related projects by 2014 (a promise we met and exceeded in July 2013). Over the months and years to come, as resources are available, we will continue to rebuild and will seek to meet the needs of the families affected by Sandy.
The NeedIn New York over 300,000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Superstorm Sandy with the south shore, inland of Queens and Staten Island shore being hit the hardest. The majority of homes across this coastal region belong to low-income and working class families. In Nassau County, more than half the homes damaged did not have flood insurance.
In New Jersey 350,000 homes were damaged, including 275,000 that were uninsured. In addition to the devastating coastal damage in New Jersey, a levee failed in Bergen County affecting 2,000 residents in Moonachie, Little Ferry, Carlstadt and Hackensack. Jersey City and Hoboken experienced concentrated flooding in heavily populated downtown areas.
Our ResponseRebuilding Together provided free critical home repairs to survivors of Superstorm Sandy through our affiliates in New York City, Long Island, Bergen County, Jersey City and Essex County starting in 2012.
Rebuilding Together has joined with leading national disaster response and recovery organizations such as the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) to represent and address the long-term needs of low-income homeowners and their communities. Our local affiliates have partnered with organizations including All Hands Volunteers, Moonachie Little Ferry Relief Fund, local Rotary Chapters, local skilled trade organizations and the United Way Compassion Fund.
The Results Rebuilding Together and our New York City, Long Island, Bergen County, Jersey City, and Essex County affiliates began helping those affected by Superstorm Sandy with their long-term recovery needs in 2012. Thanks to their efforts with local leaders, elected officials and community members, we were able to exceed our goal of completing 200 rebuild projects in mid-2013 well ahead of schedule.
This work would not have been possible without the generous support of Lowe’s, Sears, Crate and Barrel, Choice Hotels International and many other corporations, foundations and individuals.
