Strategic Plan
The agency’s strategic plan guides all of the organization’s service efforts toward reaching successful and measurable outcomes in the lives of families and individuals. Although part of Foothills vision is to always provide various safety nets for crises intervention and emergency services, it is also our vision to provide a combination of services that are designed to help identify barriers, teach ways to overcome enabling negative factors and to change one’s focus for new opportunities.
Our Strategic Plan consists of five goals and strategies – all of which are aimed at helping people and improving lives. Emphasis is placed on objectives that are culturally appropriate and responsive to those residing in our target area. This plan was derived from extensive research, client needs assessment surveys, and key informant interviews. Although this Action Plan outlines KRFDC’s intentions, the agency is aware that circumstances and conditions regarding community need and funding availability can quickly change. As a result, this Action Plan is reviewed annually and updated or revised as necessary.
Goal 1 : Increase access to employment opportunities, health care, and community/civic engagement through the reduction of individual and family barriers.
Goal 2: Increase community health outcomes and health education awareness for individuals and families.
Goal 3: Reduce homelessness and increase access for low-income individuals and families to obtain stable, safe, and affordable housing.
Goal 4: Respond to opioid epidemic and increase supportive services to individuals and families impacted by substance use disorders.
Goal 5: Build Agency capacity through communications, technology, fund development, and Strategic Human Resources Management to realize the mission of KRFDC.
