Letter from the President and the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Have you ever wondered where your donated dollars went when you contributed to a non-

profit organization?

Do you feel like your donation is faceless – the donor is unknown to the non-profit, the

recipient of the good work is unknown to the donor?

Do you feel like your transaction was a clean one? Had no consequences for you? Didn’t

engage you?

In this annual report we hope to put a face to some of your neighbors that we have helped.

The homeowners in need in our county are often invisible. We don’t realize that the elderly

couple who lives next door is one of these faceless individuals. We forget that it only takes a

blink of the eye for our future to look different – an injury from a fall, an illness that

suddenly wipes out a bank account or makes it impossible to work.

When you give to RTMC, you can be assured that your money is going to help a low-income

homeowner. It may replace a furnace, or buy shingles for a roof, or pay for a plumber to

take care of a broken pipe. For every sponsorship dollar that is donated to us, we are able

to leverage it seven times.

If you volunteer with RTMC, you see the families we help. You have tangible evidence of

your efforts. You get to know your neighbor who needs your help and will see how grateful

they are for your efforts.

So my friends, if you know us, you understand. If you don’t, let us introduce you to our

organization – our recipients, our volunteers, our board and staff. Together we are making

a difference!

Roger Rothman Susan Hawfield Board President Executive Director


The Need Affordable housing is a high priority in our county, and for many, the most affordable

housing available is the owner-occupied home. In Montgomery County, there are over

12,100 very low-income owner occupied households. By making homes safe, RTMC is

preserving this option for our recipients, while also preventing the increased tax burden on

our community that results from those relying on subsidized housing due to the loss of

their home.

RTMC repaired 106 homes last year.

Seniors – there are over 5,761 elderly seniors who are low-income homeowners in the

county. Senior numbers are expected to increase 74% over the next 20 years. The increase

in demand for assistance to address basic living needs will negatively impact the quality of

life for older county residents. Nationally, 92% of seniors wish to remain at home as they

age. Unfortunately, one-third of all seniors will sustain a significant fall this year, and 55%

of those falls will happen in the home. Another 23% will happen near the home. The

average direct cost of each of these falls is $9,400, and for low-income families, that is an

expense that the taxpayers often must bear, as the individual cannot.

There were 96 seniors whose homes were repaired by RTMC last year.

Children – A warm, safe, and dry home is vital for physical health, self-esteem, and a

broader sense of family and community in children. Children of homeowners are 19%

more likely to graduate high school than children of renters. They are 40% less likely to

give birth as an unmarried teenage, and nearly twice as less likely to be idle at age 20 and

to rely on welfare as an adult.

There were 78 children whose homes were repaired by RTMC last year.

The Disabled – There are over 107,000 Montgomery County residents who report a

disability – that’s about one-eighth of the population. Over 30,000 of those are seniors. 23%

report difficulty leaving the home and 7% report difficulty providing self-care. Over 7,000

Montgomery County residents use a wheelchair and an additional 18,000 use a walker or

cane for mobility. For these residents, their families, and their caregivers, the home is often

a challenge to both their safety and independence, and it also impacts their ability to

interact with the rest of the community. For those who are low-income, the options are so

limited that many are literally confined to their homes.

49% of our recipients consider themselves disabled.


Our Mission

Rebuilding Together Montgomery County works in partnership

with community volunteers to provide home repairs, accessibility

modifications, and links to community resources to keep low-

income homeowners living safely and independently in their

homes.

Our response Utilizing community volunteers and donated materials, we repair the

homes of low-income homeowners at no cost to the recipient. Our

repairs range from the seemingly small – grab bar installations, to the

extensive – a new roof, a furnace replacement, a ramp. We worked on

106 homes this past year. Here are a few of our stories…

Energy Efficiency Repairs -- Rebuilding

Together partnered with API (the American

Petroleum Institute) to make needed repairs

for a family in Gaithersburg in June. RTMC

discovered that the clothes dryer barely

worked, causing them to have it on for a week

at a time just to get one batch of clothes dry.

The dishwasher and sink leaked, and only

one burner on the stove was operational.

RTMC and API volunteers teamed up to

replace four windows, a large sliding glass

door, the washer/dryer, the stove, and the

dishwasher, as well as make significant plumbing and electrical improvements to reduce

the costs and consumption of energy. Energy efficiency modifications are one of many

ways we work on a home.

Home Modifications -- Enthusiastic

volunteers came together to make needed

accessibility modifications for a Potomac

family this April. They replaced a bathtub

with a walk-in shower, installed railings on

the stairs, and improved the walkway

leading to the home. They also took care of

needed yard work that was creating a

tripping hazard. The result - this senior

couple can remain at home, surrounded by

their friends and family, in safety and

independence for years to come.

Structural Repairs – You name it, we’ve probably fixed it:

Leaking roofs

Broken furnaces

Inoperable water heaters

Rotted siding

Drafty windows and doors

Stopped up toilets and sinks

Broken bathroom tiles

Rotten porch steps

Cracked sidewalks

Collapsed retaining walls

Broken locks

Wet basements because of poor outside drainage

Handyman -- The Handyman Program helps elderly and/or disabled low income

homeowners remain safe and secure in their homes by performing minor home repair and

maintenance they cannot perform themselves.

LINKS -- Through the LINK Program, staff and volunteers evaluate the health and social

service needs of each Rebuilding Together applicant. After this assessment, Rebuilding

Together "LINKS" the applicant to health and human service providers throughout

Montgomery County to ensure that the homeowner is able to live in his home with

increased self sufficiency. We made over 1,000 referrals in 2008.
