"I came into The Restoration House not knowing exactly what to expect, just hoping to get some help & support in making a life for myself and my daughter. I came with my mind as open as possible, considering the not so great past I’ve had. I haven’t grown up feeling like life had too much of a support system. I have to say, meeting all of my mentors was quite overwhelming. I mean what do you expect when you meet a bunch of strangers that are supposed to love, help, and support you… and to form a bond with. Now that I know them all though, I feel like they are an extension. They are a lot like family and I love them as if they are. Then there is Mandy and Daniel. They feel like my protectors. There aren’t really words to explain them, other than that they are wonderful. And as the months have gone by so quickly, amongst all the issues I’ve been trying to overcome, I slowly feel as though life is changing for the better. Doors are opening and I am growing mentally and spiritually. Who would have thought???"

“Immeasurably More” – A Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends, In 2008 God has done “immeasurably more” than we could have ever hoped or imagined. Who would have thought that when we started less than two years ago that we would already be actively working with five families and over forty mentors. I am continually reminded that we haven’t done this on our own. It is simply amazing to think of all those who have partnered with us in this adventure of helping to restore single mothers and their children; everyone from the financial supporters, volunteers, community partners, churches, and so many more. We hope that this annual report is a reflection of what God can do when people catch on to his vision for restoration and hope. Thank each of you so much for partnering with The Restoration House and the families we journey with each and every day.

Journeying toward Restoration,

Daniel Watson Executive Director

A Story of Hope…

Purpose The Restoration House helps to restore single mothers and their children back to God’s good intent for their lives.

Mission The purpose of TRH is accomplished by providing transitional supportive housing and team mentoring in a safe learning environment where single mothers and their children are given an opportunity to restore Life’s Four Key Relationships through a personalized, guided plan.

Life’s Four Key Relationships God – Our relationship with God is the central relationship that affects all others. Self – God desires for us to view ourselves as He does; as created by Him and in His own image. Others – God desires for us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Creation – God desires for us to act responsibly toward His creation; He calls us to be good stewards of all that He gives us.

Five-Way Partnership Model

2008 Partnership Report | 1/1/2008

The mission is accomplished in the context of a five-way partnership model in which each party contributes to the overall restoration of the family.

Strategy The Restoration House’s holistic strategy involves three complimentary components when partnering with single mother families.

Housing TRH provides a housing unit for up to two years, based on the participant’s need. Each mother participates in a six month intensive financial literacy program. TRH partners with other organizations to assist in securing permanent housing for participants when their stay at TRH concludes. Homeownership is encouraged for qualified families along with homeownership training. Currently, TRH partners with Habitat for Humanity, and Knoxville Leadership Foundation, for families seeking homeownership. Individual Development Accounts (matched-savings) are made available for families working toward homeownership or secondary education.

Mentoring Volunteers from local congregations form a team of 6 to 10 mentors to walk alongside each participating family. The Mentor Team provides support and friendship throughout the partnership period and beyond. Our approach creates a diverse team of mentors which allows for a broader spectrum of support. The mentors are essential contributors to the restoration of participating families.

TRH staff coordinates family services. A covenant is signed by the family outlining the basic limitations and expectations of the program. A Family Advocate assists in developing an individualized service agreement with the participant, identifying goals and action steps in areas such as education, employment, finances, life skills, and personal growth. Additionally, TRH partners, on an as-needed basis, with community resources for job training, counseling, life skills, physical fitness, etc.

Highlights from 2008 February – The 4-Plex on Oak Ave One of our three initiatives for 2008 was to grow our capacity to five families through the use of an intermediate housing strategy. This initiative started to become a reality when we heard that some of our supporters purchased a large four-plex in Mechanicsville, near downtown. This opportunity seemed to fit our need perfectly, the owners planned to live on-site would therefore maintain a healthy presence there In June 2008 a lease was signed and partnership with these fantastic TRH supporters continues to grow.

March – Our Second Family We were so excited to move in our second family. This young mom and her daughter came to us from a partner organization, House of Courage. HOC worked with her for six months, preparing her for independent living as they helped her to acquire basic life skills. Meanwhile our TRH team of staff and mentors started working to help her learn to drive, live at peace with her family, and begin working while considering a future career. This young mom made a lot of progress while she was with us and we know that she and her daughter are now more prepared for the next stage of their lives.

April - First Annual Board Retreat In April, our board of directors held its first annual retreat at Jubilee Acres farm owned by Ken and Linda Piety. This fantastic location helped the TRH staff & board to get away and plan for the future of The Restoration House. The Pietys were incredibly hospitable and our dedicated board left further energized and passionate about the future of our single mother families. There was a renewed sense of vision and direction as we planned for the next stage of development for The Restoration House. Since that time we have added three more board members and are planning our retreat for March. Please be in prayer over them as they continue steering the direction of TRH.

April – Stroller Strides & LunaFest

5

Also in April, The Restoration House was the beneficiary of the national film festival, LunaFest. This was LunaFest’s first ever stop in Knoxville. Stephanie Ramirez, and her team at Stroller Strides worked together to pull off a fantastic event at the Two River’s Pavilion in Louisville. With over 15 sponsors, viewers were able to come and enjoy themselves while learning more about the vision and mission of The Restoration House. This was an incredibly powerful evening for everyone who attended. Be looking for more information about LunaFest Knoxville to be held in October of this year.

May – 25 Mentors and Growing Our second initiative for 2008 was to grow our base of mentors by partnering with local Churches. After training our third team in May, we had more than 25 mentors and were partnering with three churches. By the end of 2008, this number grew to over 45 mentors and 5 church partners. What an incredible blessing to have that kind of support behind our single mother families!

July – Smart Savings IDA Program The Restoration House’s third initiative for 2008 was to develop and implement a Smart Savings IDA Program. In July we partnered together with Covenant Community Capital and Houston, TX and SunTrust Bank to implement this program for helping our families not only increase their income, but also begin developing financial assets. An IDA is essentially a matched savings program. At The Restoration House we match a family’s savings 3:1 for the purchase of home, an education, or vehicle. This is an incredible opportunity for our families; visit our website to read more.

August – A Day in the Life… This month marked the inauguration of A Day in the Life. This free one hour monthly event gives people an opportunity see the day to day struggles of a low-income single mother family in creative and compelling ways using stories, images, and testimony. This is a casual & informative event, helping others see get a glimpse into that which thousands of Knox County families face every day. If you want to attend this life changing event or are interested in allowing us to bring it to your group, please visit our website for more information.

September – Our First Intern In 2008, The Restoration House was blessed by its first intern, Danielle, from Johnson Bible College’s marriage and family therapy program. During her four months with us she was able to see the joys and the pain of working with our single mother families. Danielle’s time here was a tremendous learning experience for both parties. We are grateful her added energy in helping to restore single mothers and their children.

October – A Mother Honored in Eva Magazine Rebekah, our first mother at The Restoration House, has great passion and a knack for photography. In October of 2008, Eva Magazine published some of her photos in an article they wrote about TRH. We are so proud of Rebekah and her work.

Our first annual Restoring Hope Breakfast was a huge success. The 75 people who attended were able to experience an inside look into the heart and work of The Restoration House. Some great relationships began from the breakfast and we can’t wait to see how God continues to connect his vision for single moms and their children into the lives of people from around our area. We are indescribably grateful for the over $26,000 that was committed in one short hour, that will help us to continue to serve our Participating Families.

December – Family Christmas Shop The Restoration House partnered together with over ten other organizations to be a part of the Family Christmas Shop. This annual shop is setup in a donated retail space with all brand new items for the whole family. Low-income families from partnering organization are able to shop for their loved ones with the same dignity you and I do. Visit www.familychristmasshop.com for more information.

“I loved mentoring. It challenged me to reach outside of my comfort level. When I did I was inspired by what I saw. Mothers with so much working against them – as if they were mustering their way upstream every day. When I compare it to my life I feel inspired that these mothers can put one foot in front of the other each day.” -Christin York, Mentor

Growing in 2009 The Restoration House is working on three major initiatives in 2009. All three are geared at growing our capacity to work with more families while offer exceptional support to our current ones.

Develop a Permanent Site One of our major initiatives from 2008 was to grow our housing stock. Last year TRH added three more housing units and increased capacity to five families. This was an intermediate solution to developing a long term site for The Restoration House and the families with whom we work. Right now those five units, as well as the TRH office space is scattered among three locations throughout Knoxville. This year we are working with a local church to develop a two acre piece of property into 15 housing units with three offices, an exercise room, community laundry, computer lab, children’s playroom, multi-purpose room with kitchen, as well as reception space. Our goal is to break ground in 2009. This is a God-sized project involving many community partners as we look lower costs, raise money, and construct the buildings. The team leading the project is advocating for a “Habitat” style build utilizing as many volunteers as possible for framing and other jobs. Please be in prayer concerning how you and your organization can help contribute to this project. Feel free to contact us as we would love to share more information.

Increase Staff Mandy Watson has worked as TRH’s part time Family Advocate and Program Coordinator since the inception of The Restoration House. Early in 2009, The Restoration House will hire a part-time Family Advocate freeing Mandy up to focus solely on program coordination. Adding to the TRH staff team is very exciting! The new Family Advocate will have a background in social work and will be able to offer our families a more structured plan for reaching their long term goals and dreams. This position will transfer into full-time upon completion of the new site.

Implement Church Partnership Strategy At The Restoration House (TRH) we believe partnership with the local church is a necessity if single mother families are going to experience success. There are many ways TRH is partnering with local churches in serving low-income single mother families throughout the area. As The Restoration House continues to grow in 2009 we want to be even more intentional and strategic in growing our partnerships with local churches that have a desire to mentors single mother families and step into their journey of restoration.

Mentoring - A church or a group of churches provide a diverse group of 6 to 10 mentors for a participating family. Mentor groups are one of the most crucial factors in the restoration of the family because of the social network that is built through these relationships. Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) -These matched savings accounts are used to build the capacity to gain assets like secondary education and homeownership. A partner church has the option of supplying the 3:1 match for a family’s IDA. Volunteers - Churches are able to provide volunteers in many other areas besides mentoring; such as spiritual formation, childcare, office support, public relations, and others. Financial Support - Some churches choose to support TRH through one-time or regular financial gifts.
