Annual Report 2011–2012 Annual Report 2011–2012 HFH GLA Annual Report 2012 | 1 Mission Statement Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles builds and renovates homes in partnership with God and people everywhere with a goal of eliminating substandard housing by making decent, affordable housing a matter of conscience and action in our communities. Core Values Diversity Integrity Innovation Efficiency Global Perspective Partnership Faith-Based Leadership Sustainability HFH GLA Annual Report 2012 | 2 letter from Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) celebrated a banner year full of significant milestones, new programs, partnerships and a large expansion of our work to help us serve our community. As you read through this report, we hope you see that the support of our donors, volunteers and advocates have helped to make a lasting positive impact in someone’s life. You have helped to not only build homes, but hope and a stronger community. The impact of homeownership in the lives of our families is immeasurable and the story of Toshia Williams, our first HFH GLA homeowner to completely pay off her mortgage, is an inspiration to us all. Her story motivates us to help even more families. To address the growing need for affordable housing in our communities, we have increased and diversified our building models to not only include new home construction but also the rehabilitation of foreclosed homes. Additionally, we have expanded our repair program to specifically help our veteran community. We have been fortunate to have the support of so many who have helped us to fund these much needed initiatives. We thank each and every one of you for the contribution that you have made, from creative fundraisers to faith initiatives to our ongoing partners. All of you have been a key to our success this year. There is still more work that is needed in our local community and around the world to fulfill our mission and we hope you will continue to be a part of HFH GLA’s work! “Owning a home is a dream for most people and to be able to accomplish this dream is more than I could have ever imagined.” –Catalina Osorio, Habitat for Humanity Erin Rank Craig Russell of Greater Los Angeles Partner Homeowner President/CEO Chairman of the Board HFH GLA Annual Report 2012 | 3 “The opportunity to work alongside our neighbors and construct homes for local families shows us firsthand the impact Habitat makes on people’s lives everyday.” –Marshall Croom, Chairman Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation The overwhelming need for housing has provided Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) with a unique opportunity to change lives in the neighborhoods where we work. Our service area encompasses nearly 900 square miles, including most of the City and County of Los Angeles. Los Angeles ranks as one of the least affordable housing areas in the U.S. and HFH GLA is one of the few organizations filling this need for hardworking families. Since our founding in 1990, HFH GLA has built and renovated more than 400 homes locally and plans to serve more than 200 more families in need over the next two years. HFH GLA has been recognized as the top-producing affiliate in California and has also received numerous awards for our work throughout the greater Los Angeles community, and beyond. HFH GLA Annual Report 2012 | 4 “You’re not only changing the family’s life but their children’s lives for future generations by giving them a home and hope.” –Kim McManus, HFH GLA Board Member Strategic Goals With an entrepreneurial spirit, HFH GLA has used flexibility and innovation as a creative force in the development of our 2009–2014 strategic plan; the strategic goals found here are designed to meet the needs of the families we serve, while creating a sustainable future for the affiliate. HFH GLA Annual Report 2012 | 5 Increase housing production and improve building practices: 1 Due to the downturn in the economy and a changing housing landscape in our local community, affordable housing organizations are scrambling to ease the burden. The current housing environment and the hardship suffered by the greater Los Angeles community demands that HFH GLA creatively diversify the traditional HFH building model while significantly reducing costs and improving the sustainability of our homes. Develop strategies to support existing partners and identify new funding sources: 2 Given the current economic climate in California and the widespread financial loss throughout the greater Los Angeles area, HFH GLA seeks to greatly strengthen and diversify its revenue base through a variety of methods to achieve long-term viability. Enhance the involvement of the organization, its stakeholders and partners 3 to create strong advocates: At its very core, HFH GLA is about people and the human experience. We are genuinely committed to the recruitment, development and well-being of our HFH GLA family; it is through them that we may achieve our mission to make affordable housing a matter of conscience and action in our communities. Lead community engagement through collaboration and education to propel 4 the work of affordable housing: At HFH GLA, mission success hinges upon its ability to galvanize the Los Angeles community, Goals by educating current and potential partners; we can achieve action-orientated leadership and measurable results.

  • Cast Heads West to Join Chris Noth and Chris Pine in Farragut North at the Geffen Playhouse
    CAST HEADS WEST TO JOIN CHRIS NOTH AND CHRIS PINE IN FARRAGUT NORTH AT THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE Mia Barron, Dan Bittner, Justin Huen, Olivia Thirlby and Isiah Whitlock Jr. Reprise Their NY Roles in the West Coast Premiere of Beau Willimon’s New Play Directed by Doug Hughes LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2009 — Fresh off his lauded New York production of Farragut North, director Doug Hughes reunites much of his ensemble cast, including Juno’s Olivia Thirlby, The Wire’s Isiah Whitlock, Jr, Mia Barron, Dan Bittner and Justin Huen, at the Geffen Playhouse to join the previously announced Chris Noth and Chris Pine. Noth, best known for his longtime stint as Detective Mike Logan on Law & Order and as the (in)famous Mr.Big on Sex and the City, is a fellow cast member from the Atlantic Theater Company’s NY production, while Pine, who is starring as the young Captain Kirk in the new film Star Trek and was recently seen in the Geffen’s production of Neil LaBute’s Fat Pig, is new to the LA production. Written by Beau Willimon, Farragut North was recently nominated for two Outer Critics Circle Awards including Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play. Set against the backdrop of a close presidential race, Farragut North is a timely tale of hubris, loyalty and the lust for power. Chris Pine takes on the role of Stephen, a young press secretary working for a fast-rising candidate. With confidence and power beyond his years, Stephen is convinced he and seasoned campaign manager, Paul, played by Chris Noth, can steer this team into the west wing without breaking a sweat.

    CHRIS EAT CHRIS WORLD NHS students vote on which Hollywood Chris is the best of the best Addie Doherty//[email protected] Bergan Zebrauskas//[email protected] ttention all diehards, stans, and memers! Fans everywhere have debated this topic and it seems the time has come to finally answer the question pressing on everyone’s minds (yes everyone): Who is the best Chris? AHollywood is made up of many stars, and with a common name like “Chris,” it’s even harder to stand out. Of the four most famous Chrises -- Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pine, and Chris Pratt -- with numerous collabs and crossovers between them during their careers, audiences have debated which of them is the best. In an attempt to answer this question, NHS students voted for their favorites, as well as for the funniest, hottest, the best actor, and the best role. Listen up folks, Chris Evans is the only single Chris on our list. (We’re not saying there’s a chance, just that no one’s looking to crush that dream anytime soon.) Evans, best known for his role as Captain America, is 39-years old, and has had many di erent iconic facial hair styles over the years. Evans is known to be more sensitive and passionate, o en supporting charities and visiting children in hospital...what a cool guy. He has also performed on Broadway, starring in “Lobby Hero.” Another big aspect of Evans’ life is his pooch, Dodger. Evans even got Dodger a matching sweater to repeat his iconic look in the movie “Knives Out” (2019).

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness"
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | "Star Trek Into Darkness" Published May 22nd, 2013 "Star Trek Into Darkness" By Derek Zemrak One of the most famous quotes in the Star Trek legacy is "Where no man has gone before!" This film is a huge undertaking for any director of the Star Trek franchise that has created more than 700 television shows and 12 movies. At first glance into the galaxy, I would say man has gone everywhere, but surprisingly director J.J. Abrams, who directed the first reboot in 2009, delivers a detailed storyline and a movie that is exhilarating to watch on the big screen. Moviegoers will be on the edge of their seats as they experience a brilliantly shot film, while they cheer on the Enterprise crew to succeed in battle against the evil villain of mass destruction. Once again Chris Pine ("Bottle Shock," "Rise of the Guardians") returns as Captain Kirk and Zachary Quinto ("Margin Call," "Heroes," "American Horror Story") portrays Spock. As with the cult popular television series, it is the ensemble cast that makes it all work, with Zoe Saldana ("Avatar") as Uhura, Karl Urban ("The Lord of the Rings") as Bones, Simon Pegg ("Ice Age") as Scotty, and John Cho From left: Zachary Quinto is Spock and Chris Pine is ("Harold & Kumar") as Sulu. It should be noted that not one Kirk in "Star Trek Into Darkness" from Paramount of these cast members is a scene hog like William Shatner Pictures and Skydance Productions.

    Hamilton Watch vuelve a la gran pantalla en el thriller de acción de Paramount Pictures "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" Hamilton presenta dos relojes premium hechos con espíritu estadounidense y precisión suiza BIEL, Suiza /PRNewswire/ -- Una vez más, Hamilton Watch está en la muñeca de un héroe de acción cuando cada segundo cuenta en la película de Paramount Pictures "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit". En la película, la marca presenta el Khaki Titanium y el Khaki Flight Timer, dos relojes emblemáticos hechos con precisión suiza y espíritu estadounidense. Hamilton se ha asociado con Paramount Pictures para promocionar el histórico lanzamiento global de la película, que arranca en todo el mundo en enero de 2014. El Khaki Titanium negro que usa Jack Ryan (encarnado por Chris Pine) es el agente secreto de los relojes; oculta su sólida estructura debajo de un diseño sofisticado y elegante. Como el personaje que lo usa, el reloj tiene una doble vida: vestido para el éxito, pero listo para la acción.

  • 260 Journey Matthew 12 – January 16 Taking My 18,000 Real Seriously
    260 JOURNEY MATTHEW 12 – JANUARY 16 TAKING MY 18,000 REAL SERIOUSLY What was trending on Amazon right now is the resurgence of Jack Ryan - the CIA analyst. Some knew him as Harrison Ford, others Chris Pine and us old guys knew him as Alec Baldwin. Jack Ryan is Tom Clancy’s creation. How many of you heard of Tom Clancy and his thriller books? “Hunt for Red October,” “Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger,” “The Sum of All Fears,” “Without Remorse.” His works are always very thick, about 500-700 pages. There are 1/2 million to 3/4 million words in an average Tom Clancy novel. How long would it take you to say as many words as he writes in one of his books? According to researchers, each person here will open his mouth an average of 700 times in a day. In those 700 times, you will use an average of 18,000 words a day. Those 18,000 words would translate to about 54 printed pages. That means that in one year, an average person would fill... 66 books of 800 pages each. Every year you write with your words 66 volumes that are larger than those Tom Clancy novels. THAT’S A LOT OF WORDS! WHY DO THOSE 18,000 WORDS each day MATTER? PROVERBS 18:21 tells us vividly WHY WORDS MATTER. PROVERBS 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Another version says it like this… Proverbs 18:21 (MSG) 21 Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit - you choose.
