3-year Strategic Framework
Our North Star is our shared vision of success for the future:
We are a leader in connecting people to opportunity and hope through obtaining and maintaining affordable housing.
Our Core Values will guide our behavior with each other, our donors, partners, families, and customers:
Inclusive Teamwork
The success of our Affiliate depends on everyone prioritizing doing their job then also helping other people and teams. We take responsibility to go above and beyond to do the right thing and be collaborative and inclusive partners with each other, our families, volunteers, community partners, donors, and customers.
Ownership-Based Accountability
We strive for excellence by prioritizing the “highest and best” use of our time; holding ourselves accountable first and then respectfully holding our peers, teams, and Affiliate accountable. We demonstrate ownership of our behaviors, actions, and decisions. We exhibit vulnerability by admitting mistakes, shortcomings, and making things right.
Trust-Based Stewardship
In a continual journey to cultivate trust, we take responsibility to effectively plan for, manage, and deploy our resources including energy, time, money, relationships, and assets.
Transparent Communication
We commit to active listening with the intent to understand and demonstrate the courage to speak our truth with integrity and respect. We commit to transparency; sharing organizational strategy, priorities, performance, and financial position with all team members responsibly. We encourage communication in all directions – up, down, across, and encourage all team members to serve as ambassadors to our families, volunteers, community partners, donors, and customers.
Service to Others
As a service organization, we commit to impacting the lives of families, team members and volunteers through a service heart and mindset. We demonstrate humility; recognizing that we are serving a purpose greater than ourselves. We strive to balance people and relationships with tasks and projects. We take responsibility to show compassion, care, and empathy while guiding and assisting each other, our families, volunteers, community partners, donors, and customers.
