Repairing homes, revitalizing communities, rebuilding lives.

Board Member Spotlight – Stephanie Lamphere


Meet Stephanie Lamphere of Clean Green Hauling & Removal.

Stephanie joined our Board of Directors in 2025 and has been a wonderful addition to the Board.

Here is a quick chat about why she is involved with Rebuilding Together Saratoga County.

I’d been shopping at the ReShop for the Good store in Ballston Spa for years without realizing what their proceeds actually support. When my husband and I started our junk removal business, Clean Green Hauling & Removal, in 2022, we began donating furniture and other household items to the ReShop, and I finally connected the dots. I loved helping the mission indirectly by providing products to the shop, and I also loved the work RTSC was doing in the community. As our business grew, we became more involved with the shop, and in 2024, we were thrilled to be honored with RTSC’s Community Partner award. That same year, I began the Saratoga County Chamber’s Leadership Saratoga program, which prepares participants to be productive board members and community leaders, and helps identify their interests and hone their strengths. For me, joining the RTSC board was a natural fit, and I’m very excited to put my skills and passions to use on the organization’s behalf. 

My favorite ice cream flavor is Stewart’s Shops Adirondack Bear Paw, which sadly has been discontinued in the half-gallon size. But they still carry it in pint sizes, so I regularly embark on my own personal scavenger hunt to find it at Stewart’s Shops throughout the area!

Board Member Spotlight – Danny Nazzaro

Meet Danny Nazzaro of AIM services.

Danny joined our Board of Directors in 2026 and has been a wonderful addition to the Board.

Here is a quick chat about why he is involved with Rebuilding Together Saratoga County:

What is your connection to Rebuilding Together Saratoga and why did you join the Board?

AIM Services, my current employer, has maintained a longstanding relationship with Rebuilding Together Saratoga, and our CEO, Chris Lyons, originally made the introduction. Through that connection, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand the impact of the organization’s work. My personal and professional experiences, combined with a strong desire to give back to my community, inspired me to pursue board membership and contribute to such a meaningful mission.

On a serious note, my favorite ice cream is Tillamook Waffle Cone Swirl, and my favorite dessert is Crème Brûlée. I’ve tried it all over the tri-state area, but Fresh Market has the best one yet.

Why Housing Matters

An article produced by Urban Institute Initiative on “How Housing Matters for Educational, Health, and Economic Outcomes”.


Housing matters. How, when, and where people access housing can have far-reaching effects on individuals and communities. Problems with housing supply (PDF), affordability, and stability can undermine all aspects of one’s life, including physical and mental health, educational attainment, and economic success. Policymakers, practitioners, and advocates in all sectors can focus on improving housing to move the needle across a range of other outcomes.

The sprawling influence of housing outcomes on other social policy domains is backed by decades of evidence. The research insights below provide a starting point for deeper research to support the development of cross-sector interventions. […]

Housing Matters is an online resource for the most rigorous research and practical information on how a quality, stable, affordable home in a vibrant community contributes to individual and community success.
