Dear friends,

When I stepped into my position in late 2019, Iwas full of passion, excitement, and even a bitof trepidation. But mostly, I was consumed withgratitude for this humbling opportunity to serveHabitat for Humanity South Carolina. I wasdetermined to inspire change and seeksolutions that would increase affordability andaccess to homeownership across the state.

That optimism was quickly curtailed only a fewshort months later with the onset of a worldwidepandemic.

With the world suddenly sheltering at home, itbecame harder not to think about those wholacked a safe, stable, affordable home to turnto as their sanctuary.

The work of Habitat for Humanity becameeven more critical. And I’m proud to say thatthe Habitat South Carolina network answeredthe call.

We took a stand statewide, in an effort toprotect our teams, communities, and neighbors.Thirty affiliates collaborated on how to maketemporary adjustments and brainstormedcollective solutions to ever-changing guidance.We addressed the “if” and “when” of lockdownproactively and together.

Even when our toolkit did not include cashregisters or hammers, Habitat South Carolinacontinued to serve communities and affiliates,navigate disaster response from tornadoes, and distribute PPE to healthcare organizationsand first responders. We used our voice toadvocate for affordable homeownership andpartnered with funders to ensure that home wasnot forgotten during the crisis.

Throughout this report, you’ll see examples ofhow Habitat continued showing our faith - andvalues - through action. It shares outputs relatedto homes built, services provided, and liveschanged. But just as intriguing is learning how

letter from the executive director

our mission work also significantly impactsthe economy of South Carolina.

Collectively, the Habitat for Humanitynetwork in South Carolina invested $33.6million over the past year, helping 232families as they achieved their goal ofhomeownership. For every dollar donated,$6.22 was added to the state’s economy. I encourage you to review Habitat forHumanity South Carolina’s FY2020Economic Impact Analysis to learn evenmore about us.

My first year with Habitat South Carolinawill always be synonymous with thecoronavirus. While it is impossible toseparate the two, I find comfort incelebrating the accomplishments andculture shift that occurred despite thedifficulties faced. We proved that we areall truly stronger together than we areapart.

Thank you for your commitment to serviceand continued support.

In partnership,

Nancy LeeExecutive Director

The organization was chosen to lead as a “Cost of Home” state field organizerfor Habitat International. Additionally, it was a prominent contributor to the2020 South Carolina Housing Attainability Conference, serving as both aCommunity Partner and a Collaborative Committee planning member.

The state support office was a vocaladvocate for the creation of anational and statewide COVID-19Housing Assistance Fund. In additionto its role supporting HabitatInternational with Congressionaladvocacy efforts, Habitat SouthCarolina facilitated in-person andvirtual meetings with lawmakers,elected officials, and state agenciesto raise awareness on housing issues,policy solutions that could increasehome affordability, and the impact ofCOVID-19 on access to affordablehomeownership.

A ReStore Task Force assisted local Habitataffiliates in creating a COVID-19 ReopeningGuide, focused on restarting operations andpromoting best practices for health/safetyconsiderations. The guide was requested byother state-level Habitat organizations acrossthe nation, as well as the Habitat for HumanityInternational office.

During the lockdown, 69 construction projects were fully shutdown and 27 ReStores were closed to the public.

Habitat South Carolina increased its role as a Volunteer Organization Active in

Disaster (VOAD), assisting affiliates with Long Term Recovery efforts centered on

housing needs. Four Habitat affiliates were impacted by the April 2020

tornadoes; Habitat South Carolina coordinated the distribution of $3,000 in

grocery gift cards to the nine impacted counties. Equipment donations were

supplied to 12 affiliates in advance of future weather disasters.

disaster preparedness + response

Habitat South Carolina led a major PPE distribution initiative to support the30 local affiliates. Between May-June 2020, a total of 150,000 masks, 600gallons of hand sanitizer, 26,000 nitrile gloves, and 100 ponchos weredistributed to the Habitat network across the state.

In response to COVID-19, Habitat South Carolina prioritized building partnershipsand increasing collaboration among affiliates. Together, we addressed thesimultaneous increase in cost to operate, along with decreased volunteerengagement due to safety constraints.

With the outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, the Habitat network beganexperiencing increased costs to operate – based on heightened demand forservices, unexpected health and safety operational expenses, and significantlyfewer volunteers.

Simultaneously, Habitat also juggled revenue losses, such as those accruedbecause of temporary store closures and cancelled fundraising events.

Habitat for Humanity South Carolina supported the work of affiliates byadjusting its services in direct response to the detrimental impacts thatoccurred at the local level. In response to COVID-19, the organizationexpanded its service to touch all 46 counties.
