IR Habitat for Humanity
Moorings Habitat Committee
S ince 1999, The Moorings Community has partnered with Indian River Habitat
for Humanity (IRHFH) to provide needy people in our county with a simple,

over the past 11 years and our construction volunteers have built 47 homes. This

far exceeds the number of homes sponsored by any other organization in Indian

2. If you asked me how Indian River Habitat for
Humanity fared during fiscal year 2011 (07/01/2010
– 06/30/2011) I would sum it up as “we are doing
more with less.”
During the past year, we served a total of 57 families
through the following programs: New Homes (20),
Rehab Homes (9), NRI Repairs (22) and Recycled
Homes (6).
New home construction took place on individual lots
in Oslo Park and at our Grace Meadows community
in Fellsmere. We also took advantage of the current depressed housing
market with the purchase, rehabilitation and sale of nine homes. What it Takes to Be a Habitat Homeowner

you His people. God bless you for all your support, be you a donor or
volunteer.
The Moorings Community made the difference in four families lives
this past year, but the need is still great. The latest survey showed there
are over 600 homeless in Indian River County, of which more than 250
are children. Besides the homeless, there are hundreds that are living in
deplorable housing and over crowded situations, along with many more
that are cost burdened by excessive monthly rental payments.
Please don’t grow weary of doing good. More than ever, we need
your supportive prayers along with your donation of time, talent and In today’s economic climate, Indian River Habitat for

Habitat does not receive any Federal Funds for home construction. They rely on volunteer labor, a dedicated staff and
donations from individuals and local businesses. 89% of the money received by IRHFH goes directly into the cost of
building homes and the other 11% is applied towards administrative and fund raising costs.

3. Times have changed. We have changed.
Due to the economic challenges that have hit our nation and spilled
over into our local community, Indian River Habitat (IRHFH) has
not thought twice about significantly adapting and improving our
“Homeownership Sustainability Services.” IRHFH has recognized
that we are not just a “Builder of Homes,” but also a “Builder of
Homeowners.” Our main goal has been to provide support and
assistance to enable our homeowners to stay in their homes during
financial stressful times and to transform them into productive
citizens within our community.
In order to achieve and maintain our goals we started with the basics, food. IRHFH has a
stocked food pantry where items are donated from generous donors. The pantry is available to our homeowners
who need extra support during difficult times. In the future, through a collaborative effort with the Harvest Outreach Center, we
will be offering classes in our new Office and Training Center (OTC) on “nutrition and diet.”
Additionally, we have expanded our services to offer our homeowners the ability to participate in subsidized after school programs.
Again, these are made available through partnerships with other charities in our community, such as the Boys & Girls Club and
the Gifford Youth Activity Center, that specialize in these types of programs. Furthermore, through our Scholarship Program,
homeowners and their children have the opportunity to earn tuition scholarships. One of the first scholarship recipients (sponsored
by The Moorings), Attilla-Giovanni Gabor, just graduated from Georgia Tech last spring. With the completion of the OTC, we will
expand our financial training classes from three to five and the overall classes will expand from ten to twenty-five. These classes
will include, but not limited to, job search assistance, resume preparation, and will preparation. Why have we expanded our services
beyond building homes? It is simple. We want to give our homeowners the opportunity for a “hand up, not a hand out” so they can
become better homeowners and citizens here in Indian River County. We want to show them a path so they can break the “circle of
poverty” for themselves and their children. That’s, at least in my mind, what Habitat is all about.

4. The Moorings Habitat Story
I t all started in the fall of 1999 when two long-
time Moorings residents, Paul Fields and Brad
Burnham, were working at a Habitat construction
site and decided that they would like to attempt to
raise funds through the Moorings Community to
sponsor a Habitat House. They enlisted the help
of the Moorings Property Owners Association and
the first appeal raised $30,000 (the cost of building
a Habitat house at the time) and pulled in enough
volunteers to help build the house. After Paul
Fields passed away in 2001, Brad Burnham along
with his financial guru, Bob Samuels, founded
the Moorings Habitat House Committee. Brad
had the unique ability to surround himself with
dedicated people who shared the vision to help the
working poor in our county. As each year passed,
the fall appeal brought in more money, the number
of volunteers increased as well as the number of The Moorings Habitat Committee, from left to right: Bill DuRie, Jack Quindlen, Bill

rad Burnham’s shining moment came in 2007
when a commitment he had obtained from
Charlie Cary came to fruition. Upon his death, Mr.
Cary left $500,000 to the Moorings Habitat Fund,
O ne of the goals of the Moorings House Committee is to involve as many

5. Indian River Habitat for Humanity Scholarship Program
Empowering our families to succeed in academics and life
Indian River Habitat for Humanity established its Scholarship Program
in 2008 to assist homeowners and their children in furthering their
education. The program helps subsidize summer and after school
care, and IRHFH collaborates with the Boys & Girls Club and Gifford
Youth Activity Center in these efforts. Funding for educational
scholarships is also available to promote higher education. Last
year, The Moorings Habitat Committee gave $5,000 to both entities.
The Moorings’ first scholarship award went to Attilla-Giovanni
Gabor. Attilla, the son of Habitat homeowner, Rosalinda Ponce-
Gabor, graduated from Georgia Tech in May 2011 with an
aeronautical engineering degree. To congratulate Attilla, members
of The Moorings Committee met with him and his family for a
celebration luncheon at The Moorings Club. The Gabor family
is truly amazing. Mrs. Ponce-Gabor left an abusive family Meet Att

Anatashia, just started her first year at U of F as a freshman. Our Committee was
so impressed by the results that we have seen from the Scholarship program that we committed
$20,000 to the program this year.
The Moorings has helped change the lives of 47 families.
In 2009, Erica Housing found herself in a situation she had desperately tried to
avoid: she and her four young children – and her own mother – were all living
with her brother and his family in almost impossibly crowded conditions. As
hard working as Erica was, her responsibilities as a single mom had finally
overwhelmed her she could no longer pay the rent.
In addition to insufficient space, the needs of Erica’s 15-year-old son, Antonio,
including wheelchair accessibility, could not be properly met. Then friends
told Erica about Indian River Habitat for Humanity. She immediately saw
the possibilities and filled out an application. Armed with obvious need, an
excellent work record with the Indian River County Utilities Department, and
a recommendation from her former landlord, commenting on her “excellent
ily!
et the Ho usinghFaomner payment history,” Erica hoped for the best. At last, in March 2010, she

program and qualified for a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Oslo Park.
The Moorin
She worked diligently on the required 300 Sweat Equity hours, laboring on other Habitat homebuyers’
houses until, after making it through 60% of the program, she was assigned her own lot and began work on her own home, with
construction volunteers from The Moorings (also house sponsors) working right beside her.
The children, too, did their part: Through the Hours for A’s program, homebuyer children too young to work on the jobsite can earn
one Sweat Equity hour for each A they earn on their report card. All four contributed: Antonio, a student at Wabasso School; daughters
Jasmine and Aleah, in Oslo Middle; and daughter Ki-Iya at Highlands Elementary. Together, they had a significant hand in “building”
their home, earning an amazing 127 A’s and, according to teachers’ report card notations, “Exceeding Expectations.”
Friends and family, including the loving, hard-working crew from The Moorings, stood beside the little family during their home
dedication Dec. 4, 2010, as they received their special Bible and the key to their own front door – and an exciting new life.

6. A Salute to our Moorings Community Donors!
We appreciate all our donors who have supported the Moorings Habitat Program through a variety of methods and we can’t thank
you enough. Below we pay a special tribute to the Golden Givers who have donated $500 or more between July 1, 2010 - June
30, 2011 and to the Steady Eddies who have made consecutive donations over the past three fiscal years, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Without our donors, we would not be able to continue our mission to build homes and lives to those in need in our community!
