Welcome to
Website address - 01 2009
On January 8, 2008, we embarked on a "journey". Thanks to a grant from the York
County Community Foundation, we were able to participate in a Strategic Planning
process.
We established a Strategic Planning Subcommittee which included three board members,
three staff members and three members from the community. This committee met 12
times between January 8, 2008 and the date the plan was adopted by the board on
December 9, 2008. During that time period, our consultant, John McCambridge, also
facilitated eight focus group meetings - four with our tenants, and four others with various
groups from the community - and a retreat with our full board and staff.
Through this process, we also updated our Mission Statement. It now reads:
We improve communities, strengthen neighborhoods and stabilize lives by
providing quality housing for people with limited resources.
The Strategic Plan that we have endorsed includes four main goals with numerous
objectives under each goal. The four goals are:
1. Build organization structures which support furthering the mission;
2. Achieve meeting the balanced needs of each project: fiscal, physical, and social;
3. Thrive as a company; and
4. Develop new project(s).
On January 22, 2009, we invited the participants in the four community focus groups to a
Strategic Planning Follow-up and Feedback Event. We asked the participants four
questions:
1. What are your reactions to our plan?
2. What do you think should be the next steps and how should we do them?
3. How can you help?
4. How can we help you?
The participants indicated that they endorsed our plan and they are anxious to help us
begin implementing it...and, we "plan" to keep them involved and engaged.
