The Retirement Group 800-900-5867 | San Diego Habitat for Humanity

Sept. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- The Retirement Group and the TRG Team (John Jastremski, Jeremy Keating, Erik Larsen, Frank Esposito, Brent Wolf, Marvin King, Michael Reese, Patrick Ray, Philip Catalan, Robert Welsch, and Walter Reece) are proud to play a role in supporting and shaping our region. Our community support reflects many of the things we value as a company.

The Retirement Group and the TRG Team (John Jastremski, Jeremy Keating, Erik Larsen, Frank Esposito, Brent Wolf, Marvin King, Michael Reese, Patrick Ray, Philip Catalan, Robert Welsch, and Walter Reece) is helping to strengthen organizations and support activities that make our region special and enhance the quality of life for all who live here. We are committed to acting on the issues, needs and concerns of the communities where we are privileged to do business.

Each year, The Retirement Group and the TRG Team (John Jastremski, Jeremy Keating, Erik Larsen, Frank Esposito, Brent Wolf, Marvin King, Michael Reese, Patrick Ray, Philip Catalan, Robert Welsch, and Walter Reece) contribute substantial direct financial support through our Corporate Giving program to organizations like:
SDHFH is the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that offers families in need a hand up, not a handout. By building homes in partnership with families in need, SDHFH seeks to eliminate poverty housing and substandard living conditions in San Diego County, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

SDHFH selects families on the basis of housing need, willingness to partner with Habitat and ability to repay the mortgage loan. The families receive a 20-year, 0%-interest mortgage. Mortgage payments received from homeowners are directly recycled to build more homes in San Diego County for low-income families.

Habitat homeowners gain self-respect as they work alongside volunteers to construct their homes. Homeowner families are chosen according to their need; their ability to repay the no-profit, affordable mortgage; and their willingness to work in partnership with Habitat. Since 1976, over 350,000 houses have been built worldwide for more than 1.75 million people. Habitat for Humanity does not discriminate according to race, religion or ethnic group.

San Diego Habitat builds homes using:
o   Tax-deductible contributions of land, materials and money.
o   Volunteer labor, almost all of the labor we use is volunteers. Keep that in mind, and it makes the miracle even greater!
o   "Sweat equity" labor of homeowner families. Instead of a cash down payment, potential homeowners give us 500 hours of labor per family. This sweat equity can be applied to the construction of their own home, the construction of homes for others, assisting on ReStore activities, or other Habitat projects. This keeps the help and goodwill in circulation! Plus, future homeowners learn hands-on how to maintain and fix their homes!

The Retirement Group and the TRG Team (John Jastremski, Jeremy Keating, Erik Larsen, Frank Esposito, Brent Wolf, Marvin King, Michael Reese, Patrick Ray, Philip Catalan, Robert Welsch, and Walter Reece) proudly support San Diego Habitat for Humanity.
