Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan is our compass, directing all organizational service efforts to achieve tangible and meaningful outcomes in the lives of families and individuals. While our vision includes providing safety nets for crisis intervention and emergency services, we are equally committed to offering a diverse range of services. These services aim to identify barriers, teach effective ways to overcome negative factors, and shift focus on new opportunities.
Comprising five goals and strategies, our Strategic Plan is designed to make a positive impact on people’s lives. We prioritize objectives that respond to the needs of those in our target area. Derived from extensive research, client needs assessment surveys, and key informant interviews, this plan reflects our dedication to understanding and addressing community needs. However, recognizing the dynamic nature of circumstances and funding availability, we review and update this plan annually to ensure its relevance and effectiveness.
