Bend Area Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to providing affordable homeownership and home repair services to low income families and individuals in Bend and Crook County. Bend Area Habitat for Humanity has 17 staff (14 FTE) and 16 Board members that provide oversight to our Executive Director and staff. Our Executive Director works with our Board of Directors and Executive Committee. The Executive Committee consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Bend Area Habitat has a staff leadership team from each department that meets regularly. Bend Area Habitat for Humanity (BAHFH) has been an active member of our community for almost 25 years. During our tenure here, we have met the affordable housing need for low income families. We continue to meet this need and are dedicated to our mission of providing affordable homeownership and home repair services for low income families and individuals. No other organization in Bend provides more home ownership opportunities for low income families then BAHFH. Our objective is to help these families break the cycle of potential poverty. We offer them a hand up, not a hand out. The individuals that benefit from our services are diverse in race, ethnicity, and age but all are low-income individuals and families that are between 35-60% of the Area Median Income in Bend and Crook County. BAHFH utilizes techniques and materials that demonstrate energy efficiency, resource conservation, improved indoor air quality, comfort and economy. As requirements to protect the environment and resource conservation change, BAHFH has implemented green building practices which are quickly becoming industry standards, many of which have become mandated by local building code. All new homes are built to Energy Star standards which are typically between 15 and 30% above code. In spite of sky -rocketing construction prices, and with heroic community support, BAHFH has built over 100 homes (103 and counting) and repaired over 60 homes, supporting over 500 residents. 2. The third Annual Build It! Breakfast is a one-hour fundraising event for Bend Area Habitat for Humanity. The event is free to the community. Table hosts invite friends, co-workers, family who may be interested in learning more about our organization. Speakers include: a Habitat family, corporate partner and our Executive Director. Guests are asked to make a donation. 3. I begin promotion of the event in January to recruit table hosts and sponsors. The event culminates March 20. 4. The funds we raise at the Build It! Breakfast give us the opportunity to serve more families and individuals in our community. It also allows us to educate the community about Habitat with those in attendance. 5. The individuals that benefit from our services are diverse in race, ethnicity, and age but all are low-income individuals and families that are between 35-60% of the Area Median Income in Bend and Crook County. 6.
