Strategic Goals 2016-2018:
Our strategic plans are focused in four areas to achieve the following goals:

1. Serve as primary developer on at least five affordable housing projects, including rental and homeownership, to work towards eventually earning half of total revenue from housing- related income.

2. Engage with at least four partners, including the Village of Yellow Springs, to create momentum on diverse housing projects in the pipeline, serving a variety of populations in need of quality affordable housing.

3. Increase the measurable breadth and depth of pre- and post- purchase stewardship client and asset management services while growing program-related income and exploring expansion areas and partnerships.

4. Develop and implement plans to strengthen finances and organizational capacity, including a viable strategy to maintain the Development Coordinator position beyond 2018.
