At The Home Depot Foundation, we understand that affordable, healthy homes are essential to strong families, thriving neighborhoods and sustainable cities. The stability provided by living in a home that is affordable over the long-term positively impacts the family’s financial status, health and overall quality of life.

And the benefits don’t stop there – they extend throughout the community and the economy. Home is where “ During the last two years, the Foundation has helped build or renovate more than 27,000 homes for families across the country. While the issues “one starts from. around the increasing number of mortgage defaults and foreclosures and the rippling effect on entire cities and regions have attracted much t.s. eliot attention in this time, we have partnered with nonprofit organizations and local leaders to help families move into homes that they can afford to live in for years to come. This means that the mortgage or rent is manageable, but that’s just the beginning. We also work to ensure that the home is efficient so utility bills are affordable; that the location is close to schools, stores and jobs so transportation costs are low and commutes are short; and that the community includes parks and trees so residents can enjoy healthy, safe places outdoors.

Taking this comprehensive view of what makes a home affordable creates an impact that extends far beyond the residents themselves. While vacant and dilapidated houses destroy the worth of entire neighborhoods, when people take pride in their homes and maintain them, property values improve. Over time, residents become more involved in their neighborhoods, schools and nonprofit organizations, creating stronger, more vibrant communities and reducing crime. Something as simple as a family planting a tree in their front yard demonstrates an investment in their community and a commitment to its future. The results of the initiatives outlined in this report demonstrate clearly that a stable home that is healthy and affordable can be the starting point of long-term success for an individual, a family or an entire city.

“been so much healthier. Every day, I think, ‘Thank you,“ thank you, thank you.’ Living here has been so positive for my family.

NiCki AlHAgi, olesoN wooDs resiDeNT

building A liFe: iT sTArTs wiTH A home

The Alhagi family was struggling to make ends meet in the old house they rented outside Portland, Ore. Like many young families, Nicki Alhagi and her husband had a hard time paying for rent, diapers for their two daughters and the heating bill. On top of that, she frequently missed work because the moldy air in the damp home caused the girls to suffer with asthma, which required repeated, costly trips to the doctor. Though the Alhagis looked for a healthier, safer place to live, nothing was affordable, even with their two incomes.

When the Alhagis heard about Oleson Woods, an apartment development built by Community Partners for Affordable Housing, they felt that they would finally be able to make it. “This was a true godsend,” Alhagi says of discovering Oleson Woods, the green, affordable community developed with a grant from The Home Depot Foundation. “Since we moved here, we’ve all been so much healthier. Every day, I think, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you.’ Living here has been so positive for my family.”

The apartments offer families with moderate incomes attractive townhomes that are close to stores, public transit, schools and jobs. The units incorporate energy-efficient lighting, appliances and heating systems; extra insulation; and paint and cabinets that do not put harmful gases into the air. In addition to these features that make the homes more affordable, the complex includes a community center where neighbors can gather and a playground and walking trails through adjacent woods where residents can enjoy the outdoors.

6 building respoNsiBly: CreATiNg loNg-Term success

The major motivation for the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in saint louis, mo. is to build safe, decent and affordable homes that its homeowners can own for a lifetime. To achieve this goal, Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis has sought to reduce utility costs, create a healthy indoor environment and incorporate durable materials that fit into the overall design of the house. By focusing its efforts on these elements, this Habitat affiliate builds homes that families can truly afford and enjoy over the long term.

When James and Brenda Grant began searching for a home for their family, they realized that a Habitat home would meet their needs and would provide a healthy home where they could afford to raise The Grants’ energy costs are their son. The home the Grants purchased was 40 percent lower and their built as part of the Partners in Sustainable Building water use is 50 percent lower program created by The Home Depot Foundation and Habitat for Humanity International. Through the than they would be in a program, Habitat affiliates in the United States and standard house. Mexico can receive funding and resources to assist in making their homes more energy efficient and sustainable. This will enable affiliates to build at least 5,000 homes according to nationally recognized green building standards. The Partners in Sustainable Building program also provides in-person learning opportunities, regional training scholarships and online resources.

Because of the funding Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis received from the Partners in Sustainable Building program, the Grants’ home is very efficient, using less electricity and water; very durable, meaning lower maintenance expenses; and provides a healthy indoor environment. All of this adds up to a home that will be comfortable for the Grants — and their checkbook — for many years to come. To explain what their house has meant to the Grant family, James says simply, “What Habitat has done for us is a miracle.”

7 puTTiNg proDuCT To work iN our CommuNiTies

early in 2008, The Home Depot Foundation, The Home Depot stores and Gifts In Kind International launched a groundbreaking product donation program called “Framing Hope.” During the year, The Home Depot stores donated over $9.1 million in merchandise to local nonprofits, which incorporate the products in their efforts to build and maintain homes in their communities. Because of Framing Hope, these clearance products and display samples are being put to use in homes of moderate-income families

rather than being discarded. In fact, in the Photo by Maria Durana program’s first year, over 3,500 tons of products have been diverted from landfills.

As the executive director of one of the TAkiNg THe NexT sTep: participating nonprofits in Albuquerque said, “Through this opportunity… [we] have been he keys to a house or apartment are handed over, the able to provide plumbing and electrical T furniture is in place and the moving boxes are empty, but we fixtures, rugs, building materials, tools and know the work of establishing a stable home has just begun. outdoor supplies… With the generosity of When we talk about a “home,” we don’t mean just inside the The Home Depot Foundation and Gifts In Kind four walls of a house or even the yard contained within the lot International, many of the thousands of families lines.

Additionally, we will pilot a warehouse concept to distribute products to smaller nonprofits that lack the scale of operations to absorb all of the products donated by a store.

succeed. That’s why we support the planting of trees in parks, along streets and in schoolyards; the building and refurbishment of community play spaces; and the revitalization of school facilities.

In 2008 alone, the Foundation supported the planting and restoration of over 200,000 community trees; built and refurbished 159 playgrounds in parks and near schools and homes; and invested thousands of hours of volunteer time working with our neighbors to build stronger communities. We make these investments because we know that the benefits of improving a neighborhood impact each of the families that live there and extend throughout the broader community as well. By investing our money, time and effort in our communities, we can see the results as families enjoy new parks, trees provide cooling shade and children take pride in a newly painted classroom. They also achieve financial stability as property values of homes increase, utility costs decrease and employers move in. Perhaps most important are the less visible changes, such as the important relationships that are formed, the feelings of pride and ownership in the community that are instilled and the healthier, more enjoyable lives the kids can lead.

Communities, just like homes, require maintenance and continuing investment. We all know that doing a home improvement project often means that you have to get dirty, and building a stronger community also requires a little sweat and elbow grease. For The Home Depot Foundation, our supplier partners and Home Depot associates, volunteering with our neighbors is not only part of what we do, it’s part of who we are. A personal iNvesTmeNT: sweAT equit y

Almost any day of the week, you can find our associates giving their time and energy to improve their community through our employee volunteer program, Team Depot. From caulking drafty windows in homes to planting trees in parks, painting murals at underserved schools, and replacing doors in community centers, our associate-volunteers are the lifeblood of many projects. For example, through the Trees for Success program with the National Arbor Day Foundation, we worked in communities across the country to educate school children about the ways trees can make our cities healthier places to live. But we weren’t just talking to the kids about trees, we were helping them plant hundreds of large trees too. Side by side, Home Depot associate – volunteers and school children have planted hundreds of large trees at their schools. Having made this personal investment of their time, not one of these volunteers will pass a place where they worked without checking on whether their trees — and their community — are thriving. We are especially proud when our supplier partners work beside us on these projects, as many did this year when we framed 40 houses in five days during the Habitat for Humanity Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Biloxi, Miss.

Community partnerships are always important, but never more so than in times of natural disaster. Since Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, communities have looked to The Home Depot and our associates for help during natural disasters. During 2008, we cleared debris after hurricanes in Houston, tarped damaged and leaking roofs after tornadoes in Atlanta, and supported the Red Cross’s response to California wildfires. When the Mississippi River breeched levees in Missouri and damaged more than 600 homes and businesses, nearly 150 Team Depot volunteers from 28 stores removed trash, gutted flood-damaged homes and did anything else they could to help their neighbors. Resident James Newton expressed his appreciation for the volunteers’ hard work by saying, “What they’re doing in three or four hours would have taken us weeks. If I get the electricity on, I can move back in. I don’t need walls and stuff to live… I just want to get home.”

12 BuilDiNg impact: TAkiNg A comprehensive ApproACH

At times, we believe the opportunity to help a community transform itself requires a deeper, broader and more enduring commitment than a typical grant or volunteer project allows. In those situations, we have made investments in partnership with the leadership of specific cities and local nonprofit organizations to foster long–term change. These commitments are focused in small geographic areas where we intend to demonstrate the benefits of taking a comprehensive approach to affordable housing and community revitalization. In these situations, we also leverage our relationships with national nonprofits that provide training, technical assistance and additional funding. In cities such as Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta, we have made multi-year pledges of funding, expertise and volunteers to make lasting impacts and meet a broad array of issues that directly affect the lives of families.

For example, in Detroit, which is experiencing one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, we have made a monetary grant and committed 10,000 volunteer hours to catalyze community reinvestment. The Foundation’s support is going to build 35 energy-efficient townhomes on vacant lots using geothermal heating systems to keep the units truly affordable in the face of rising utility costs. The plans call for the preservation of greenspace where trees will be planted and for locating the homes near a community park and adjacent to two schools, so residents and their children will have easy access to resources to help them learn and play in a healthy environment. In addition, Team Depot associate-volunteers are committed to investing their time and energy to improve the neighborhoods over the next several years. To kick off this partnership, more than 275 Team Depot volunteers transformed six blocks of the community in July by planting trees, creating a community garden, landscaping flower gardens in vacant lots, clearing brush and litter and building planter benches.

In Philadelphia, we have made a four-year commitment to bring about both immediate change and long term solutions to a neighborhood that has struggled economically and socially. The goal of the Foundation’s efforts in partnership with the city is to create a lasting community network and infrastructure for the area that will catalyze revitalization. To do this, we are supporting the construction of a new apartment complex adjacent to a commuter train station, upgrades for nearby existing homes to make them more energy- and water-efficient, and improvements to the streets and sidewalks that make them pedestrian friendly and provide shade from trees. The plans also include workshops and community development activities for residents in which Home Depot associates will participate. By working not only to provide homes for families but also to ensure that the entire neighborhood succeeds, the Foundation is contributing to the long-term quality of life for all of the residents.

13 looking forward: sustainable cities institute

The economic, social and environmental issues facing our country are felt most directly at a local level, in the neighborhoods and on the streets of our cities. Leaders of cities are working to find solutions to problems as diverse, yet interconnected, as the lack of affordable housing, increased foreclosures, creation of jobs, rising energy costs, increased traffic congestion, lack of convenient public transportation and loss of trees and parks, all while balancing a budget. More and more, city leaders are recognizing the economic case for green building, sustainability and smart growth, and they are seeking real-time information and answers to practical questions.

In response, the Foundation is undertaking a Through the Foundation’s new new initiative that will be launched in 2009 initiative,“ the Sustainable Cities Institute, called the Sustainable Cities Institute. Expanding

even more cities will have access upon the partnerships we have established with numerous mayors in their individual cities, the to their vast knowledge in an effort “ Institute will be a resource for leaders seeking to expand sustainable development information, models and resources to and spur green economic growth. incorporate the principles of efficiency and conservation into their daily work. Through the Institute, we intend to enhance the quality of life The Honorable Manuel Diaz and economic vitality of cities of all sizes Mayor of the City of Miami throughout the country.

The Home Depot Foundation saved the following resources by using New Leaf Reincarnation Matte paper: 10 fully grown trees, 2,233 gallons of water, 5 million BTU of energy, 488 pounds of solid waste, and 825 pounds of greenhouse gases. Calculations based on research by Environmental Defense Fund and other members of the Paper Task Force. Reincarnation Matte is made with 100% recycled fiber and 50% post-consumer waste, processed chlorine free, and manufactured with electricity that is offset with Green-e® certified renewable energy certificates. Additional resources were saved by printing on a waterless press with non-toxic soy ink. Printing: Jano Graphics. Design: Idea Engineering, Inc. ©2009 The Home Depot Foundation.
