Students Build Home And Political Skills At Albany Capitol

Fifteen Ithaca College students spenttheir March spring break framing aHabitat for Humanity home next to

the New York State Capitol building inAlbany and learning how to advocatefor effective government policy.

As part of Advocacy in Albany, a Habitatfor Humanity of New York State (Habitat-NYS) initiative, the build called attentionto the state s housing crisis. Students alsovisited legislators, participated in advocacyworkshops and joined a rally calling forincreased state funding for affordablehousing.

Across New York, we see populationsdeclining, entire neighborhoods deterio-rating and working families forced out ofthe very communities in which they wereborn and raised a ll due to the shortageof decent, safe and affordable homes, saidJudith Nelson, Executive Director ofHabitat for Humanity of New York State.Affordable housing must become a state

priority, now, she added.

These dedicated college students were

willing to spend their spring breakbuilding a home and asking ourelected leaders to allocate the resourcesto create or preserve thousands morehomes throughout the state, said Paige

Bellenbaum,Habitat-NYC sDirector ofAdvocacy, who wasinstrumental inorganizing theweeklong event.They came, not just

for the week, but forthe cause. Theyreturned to theircampus with thetools to educateothers about the

state s housing crisis and to rally supportfor permanent solutions.

Students joined Habitat-NYS and leadersfrom two other statewide housinggro u p s Housing First! and the EmpireState Housing Alliance in ca lling onGovernor Spitzer to create a 10-year, $13billion housing initiative to create andpreserve 220,000 affordable homesstatewide. They also urged that part of theinvestment be used to create a truehousing trust fund modeled on similarhighly successful programs across thenation with a dedicated revenue streamfor funding affordable housing develop-ment and preservation.

Ithaca College s chapter of Habitat forHumanity is a group of highly motivatedstudents dedicated to making affordablehousing a reality for everyone throughbuilding, education, fundraising and advocacy, said Ainsley Smith, Co-Chair ofIthaca College HFH. The opportunity tocreate lasting change inspires students tovolunteer their time with Habitat.

Students built the three-bedroom, single-story Habitat home in wood-frame panelsthat were delivered by truck to DelawareCounty to provide a new home for a family whose house was destroyed in theflood of June 2006.

The flood destroyed major portions ofour community said Jacqlene Rose, ofthe Delaware County Habitat affiliate.We are very grateful that this event is

drawing attention to the critical need foraffordable housing not only here, but allacross our state.

“The opportunity to create lasting changeinspires college students to volunteer theirtime with Habitat.”

Ten years is a long time. But for those of us who have beenaround the block a few times—and especially those of us whohave seen kids grow—10 years goes by in a blink of an eye.My decade of service to Habitat for Humanity - New York Cityends as I move on to lead another not-for-profit, theMetropolitan Waterfront Alliance.

My Habitat tenure includes hard-fought accomplishments, lessons learned frommistakes, and progress toward creating a New York institution that is making areal contribution to the struggle to provide decent shelter for all in need.

I am often asked what I like best about working at Habitat. The answer comeseasily. It is being surrounded by so many people who are doing one of the bestthings they will ever do. Our volunteers, our Family Partners, our funders, ourpartners in government, my colleagues on staff and our board are all beautifullyand vitally engaged in our work. And from my perspective at the center of it all,it is a joy to behold.

Another question I’ve been asked more recently is to name my greatest accom-plishment at Habitat-NYC. My reply? I believe my greatest accomplishment willbe leaving. The nugget of truth within that quip of an answer is that I leavebehind a staff, under the leadership of our acting Executive Director JoshLockwood, that is as talented and committed as any I have encountered at anyHabitat affiliate or other not-for-profit; a remarkable Board of Directors that is sodedicated to our mission and leads and supports our organization in so manyways; and a program of home-building and advocacy that fills a unique and criti-cal niche for our city and has become a model for Habitat around the countryand the world. And most important, by leaving, Habitat-NYC will further its mis-sion to transform lives and our city by uniting all New Yorkers around the causeof affordable housing in ways I literally cannot imagine.

With fresh ideas from new leadership, I am convinced that Habitat-NYC’s bestdays are before it. I look forward to applauding its progress as its most ferventsupporter.

In my new role, I will be expanding on the work I’ve done for the past decade,building common ground and fostering collaborations that will give all people inthe metropolitan area access to the precious resource of our waterfront. Butwhether working for equity upland or at the waters edge—Habitat-NYC willalways have a home in my heart.

I leave Habitat with the most sincere and humble thanks to all who have helpedus accomplish so much in a 10-year blink of an eye.

Artist Alexander Raises Her Glass to Habitat Families

Habitat-NYC is leading green, with affiliates fromaround the nation coming to us to learn about all thingsin state-of-the-art green building.

For years, Habitat-NYC has been at the fore-front of building affordable, environmentallyconscious homes in New York City. Now,we re spreading the gospel of green to otheraffordable housing developers in New YorkCity and to Habitat affiliates in all areas ofthe country.

As part of our eco-friendly outreach, wehosted a two-day national green-buildingsymposium in April, aimed at sharing knowledge, ideas and bestpractices for creating low-cost green homes. More than 150 peo-ple attended the event, including more than 40 representatives ofHabitat affiliates around the country.

Many new building methods are very low-tech and doable byvolunteers, one participant noted. For example, caulking andinsulation are easy to do with volunteers and can be more effec-tive than installing expensive windows.

In his keynote address, New Yorker author David Owen chal-lenged conventional wisdom with his theory that urban areas,such as New York City, are inherently greener than suburban orrural living. The benefits of mass transit, small apartments inhigh-rise buildings and services located within walking distanceall contribute to energy-savings, he said.

Speakers from Habitat affiliates in California, Texas, Minnesotaand Colorado shared lessons learned from their affordablegreen housing initiatives. Some innovative work ranged fromconstructing a net-zero energy home ( A little tricky with volun-teers you have to teach them new ways of building, according

to Brady Nelson of Denver s Habitat affiliate) to safely cleaningbrown fields for housing.

Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer described his effortsto support environmentally friendly projects in theborough. Politicians have to do their part to

ensure that cities move forward with greenbuilding, co-generation and solar-energy ini-tiatives, he said.

The symposium showcased Habitat-NYC supcoming LEED-standard green complex onAtlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and included

walking tours of innovative green buildings aroundthe city, including the Habitat-NYC condominium building cur-rently under construction in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brookly n oneof the first buildings in the city to employ energy-efficientInsulated Concrete Forms.

Attendees left the symposium energized, vowing to make changesin their respective communities. This was one of the be s t i f notthe be s t Habitat conference I ve attended. Kudos to all for yourhard work! Veronica Garcia said, promising to take valuable infor-mation with her back to the Los Angeles Habitat affiliate.

The symposium was funded by a grant from UnitedTechnologies. Support also included funding from the MizuhoFoundation to create green home-maintenance manuals forHabitat-NYC homeowners and from the New York State EnergyResearch and Development Authority.

Joanne Alexander is the kind ofperson who always sees theglass half-full. And in all the

colors of the rainbow.

A well-known stained-glass artist,born and bred in Brooklyn, Joanneworked hard to raise two childrenand a business by herself. That’swhy she was so moved when sheheard about a single mother of fivewho received a Habitat-NYC home.Joanne immediately grabbed herphone and offered to create stainedglass-windows for all future NewYork City Habitat homes.

“I didn’t have a lot of money, and theonly thing I could do was stainedglass,” Joanne recalls. “But I really

wanted to make a contribu-tion to these families.”

Three years later, Joanne’sglorious stained-glass tran-soms welcome visitors atthe front door of four of Habitat-NYC’s buildings, and she is eager tobegin work on the next one.

Joanne designs each piece individual-ly, allowing the architecture of thebuilding to inspire her. One might beArt Deco, the next may reflect aVictorian tone. Each brings a touch ofbeauty to our homes.

Creating the art pieces for our homescan be challenging for Joanne. Hercompany, Slightly Stained Creations,is based in South River New Jersey,

where she currently lives. Eachdesign requires precise measure-ments, not always easy to get long-distance. On occasion, Joanne hashad to return and fine-tune a finishedwork of art.

But to her, it’s worth the extra effort.“I’m happy to be able to do some-thing that makes the lives of otherstruggling mothers a little bit better,”she says.
