Condensed from the original, available
here. January 2008 Dear Friend,  As I head toward marking my third year with this remarkable organization, I find myself more awed than ever by the passion of the people who populate
Habitat's world.(W)e have been since 1976, a Christian organization that welcomes to our work everyone who cares about the scandal of substandard housing and is willing to get personally involved in doing something about it. Consider that: * During our last fiscal year, we helped a record-high 49,500 families with housing solutions--about equal to the entire number housed during Habitat's first 20 years and double the number of families served just two years ago. * Habitat affiliates in the United States last year built and rehabilitated well over 6,000 homes--the second straight year of dramatic growth after a plateau in house numbers from 2000-2005, when the highest number of homes built and rehabbed in any one year was about 4,800. * At the same time, U.S. affiliates last year shared a record-high $15.5 million with programs in other countries through Habitat's tithe program--up nearly 40 percent from just two years earlier. * Habitat for Humanity International continued increasing the direct help provided to U.S. affiliates through corporate cash gifts, donated building materials, government grants and funds raised from direct mail and major gifts. Funds transferred to U.S. affiliates last year was about $140 million, nearly a threefold increase from just two years earlier. * This growth has been possible because of the generosity of donors and supporters like you. Total HFHI revenues last year were about $355 million, up from about $198 million in Fiscal Year 2005--nearly an 80 percent increase over the past two years.  As we look forward to 2008, we do so with resolve to continue growing the capacity to serve more families. The mission to which we are called demands it. Our unwavering conviction that everyone deserves a decent place to live on terms they can afford to pay demands it. Our steadfast belief that good housing is one of the most fundamental ways to improve not only individual lives but entire communities demands it. Thank you for sharing the vision of a world where everyone starts and ends each day in a healthy home in which they can live and grow into all that God intends. Thank you for your support of Habitat's work. --Jonathan Reckford Chief Executive Officer, Habitat for Humanity International |
