Narrative: Habitat for Humanity of Wicomico County
1) Activities: The Conservation Corps volunteer will be engaged in three activities:
ReStore: Habitat for Humanity of Wicomico County operates a ReStore whose purpose is to
support Habitat’s mission of building homes, communities and hope. The ReStore sells
mostly used appliances, furniture and construction equipment and supplies at greatly
discounted prices. The ReStore keeps these items out of landfills and encourages individuals
and busineses to donate these materials by offering free pick-ups as well as tax donations for
eligible donations.
The Store uses its profits to fund the construction of new homes, the remodeling of older
homes and, in the future, the weatherization of older homes owned by low-income, elderly
and disabled persons. With the decline of the construction and housing market in Wicomico
County, the store has experienced a down turn in construction donations and in revenues.
The store manager has been working diligently to increase donations to the ReStore since
quality donations are key to the store’s success. The Conservation Corps volunteer will work
with the ReStore Manager to generate donations of used furniture, appliances and
construction materials by contacting potential donors and making the case for donating to the
ReStore. The Conservation Corps volunteer will work with the ReStore manager to generate
lists of potential donors, will develop a presentation, will call on donors and arrange for pick
ups. In addition, the Conservation Corps volunteer will support the store by acting as an
occasional sales person, warehouse manager, cashier and will work with the driver on
donation pick ups.
Green construction: Wicomico Habitat is working towards an Energy Star designation for
all the homes we build and is committed to building sustainable houses. The Conservation
Corps volunteer will work with the Construction Manager and Construction Supervisor on
home construction and energy star certification.
House preservation/Weatherization: Wicomico Habitat has just signed on as a
Neighborhood Revitalization Partner with Habitat International. For the past six years, we
have been building and renovating homes in a core city neighborhood in Salisbury. We were
invited by the City to partner with them to revitalize the Church Street neighborhood and we
now have built or renovated eleven homes in this area. Our presence stimulated other
builders to construct new homes and landlords to renovate existing properties. According to
statistics from the Salisbury Police Department, crime is down 38%.
We are continuing our efforts at neighborhood revitalization by offering two new products to
our building line, enabling us to reach more people at a lower cost and continue to improve
the quality of life in this and another Habitat neighborhood. We will be doing house
preservation, which focuses on improving the outside of a owner occupied home by
painting, landscaping, and minor outside repairs. We will also be doing weatherization
starting in the Kirkwood neighborhood, where Habitat has been building for 17 years and
now has built 30 homes. This neighborhood revitalization project is just getting stated and
involves marketing the program to prospective low income clients, assessing the home
owners perception of the home’s problems, conducting an energy audit and weatherizing the
house by focusing on making the house more air tight and increasing insulation. Home
preservation projects focus on fixing up the home’s exterior.
The Conservation Corps volunteer will work with the Executive Director and Construction
Manager in starting the program and will be involved on-site with weatherization and
preservation projects.
2) Outcomes: ReStore: The Conservation Corps volunteer will work in the Store 1-2 days
per week and, in the course of a year, will contact 40 potential donors. Out of these 40
potential donors, 25% will donate to the ReStore during this year. (other will be expected
to donate the following year)
Green Build: The Conservation Corps volunteer will work on the construction site 1- 2
days per week, participating in the building of two Energy Star rated homes. The
Conservation Corps volunteer will be the point person with the Energy Star rater and will
coordinate activities with the Construction Supervisor.
Home Preservation and Weatherization: The Conservation Corps volunteer will spend
the rest of their time (up to five days per week, when necessary) working with the
Executive Director and the Construction Supervisor on setting up a home preservation
and weatherization program with the goal of completing six home preservations and four
weatherizations during the year.
3) Advancement of mission: Describe how the service of the Corps Volunteer will advance
the mission of the organization.
The mission of Habitat is “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat brings people
together to build homes, communities and hope.” The ReStore provides vital funding to
support the mission and by increasing donations to the Store the volunteer will help
increase overall profits which are used to fund home building, home preservation and
weatherization projects. Habitat is committed to sustainable building to provide healthy
and energy efficient homes to our Family Partners that will be less expensive for our
homeowners to maintain, heat and cool. By working with the Construction Manager to
achieve Energy Star certification, the volunteer will be supporting Habitat’s efforts of
building green. By working with the Executive Director and the Construction Manager
to design and implement a home preservation and weatherization program the volunteer
will be helping Wicomico Habitat achieve its goals to serve more families by offering a
wider range of services, as laid out in its strategic planning documents.
4) Key Staff: ReStore: The Conservation Corps volunteer will work with the ReStore
manager, Jim Phillips, on ReStore related projects. Jim will provide training to the
volunteer on key aspects of ReStore operations, will mentor him/her in donor solicitation
and will introduce him/her to key personnel at area ReStores in Sussex and Talbot
counties. They will meet weekly to set goals and to assess how the volunteer is
performing in their position and what kind of supports can be brought in, if necessary, to
better the experience.
Green Build: The volunteer will report to Mike Taylor, construction manager, on areas
relating to building and energy star. The volunteer will sit in on the weekly construction
planning meetings with the Executive Director and construction manager. The Manager
and Site Supervisor will provide on the job training and will assess on a weekly basis
how this experience is going from both the perspective of the volunteer and the affiliate.
Home Preservation and Weatherization: The volunteer will work with the Executive
Director and the Construction Manager to design a home preservation and weatherization
program and will work with the Construction Manager to implement the program.
5) Work Skills Training: Please describe any formal or informal work skills training your
organization can provide to a Corps Volunteer.
Informal training: The volunteer will receive informal, on the job training from both the
ReStore manager and Construction manager. In addition, the volunteer can meet with
relevant staff/volunteers in the near by Habitats to assess their donor solicitation, green
building and neighborhood revitalization programs. Wicomico Habitat is also working
with a consultant from Habitat International and the volunteer can meet with him when
he is in Salisbury. My. Habitat, Habitat for Humanity International’s web site is a rich
resource for anyone wanting to learn more about Habitat, its policies, procedures,
programs and activities. The volunteer will have access to the web site. In addition,
webinars are offered frequently from My. Habitat which the volunteer will be able to
participate in. Formal training: Habitat Maryland offers a once a year training program
on issues relevant to Habitat that the volunteer would attend. In addition, Habitat
International offers Habitat on the Hill, a yearly conference with training activities that
the volunteer will attend. Regional training conferences are also hosted by Habitat
International and the volunteer would be eligible to attend any relevant conferences. In
addition, The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore offers periodic training for not
for profit staff as does the Maryland Association of Not for Profits.
