Strategic Plan 2025-2027

For our 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, we used a process called SOAR. This stands for Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results.

We asked questions based on SOAR to guide our planning. We wanted to hear from many groups who care about the work we do. We talked with the people we support, their families, our employees, homeshare providers, external partners, our government funder, and our board of directors.

To collect information, we spoke with individuals and groups, carried out surveys, made phone and video calls, and held in-person meetings. Over 80 people shared their thoughts to help shape the plan.

After we drafted the goals and ideas, we sent out a follow-up survey. This survey helped us see what people thought about the plan and what ideas were most important to them, and helped us improve the plan.

The result of these many conversations is a strategic plan that we believe:

• Focuses on our mission statement’s key idea of supporting people to experience full citizenship and belonging in community.
• Prepares us for changing leadership as people retire and new leaders are supported to grow.
• Supports our committed teams of staff, people we support and their families and friends to learn together.
• Expands and deepens our community partnerships to promote continuous learning, collaboration and innovation.

We are proud that the very stakeholders we support have informed our plan’s goals, and that we have the guidance needed to move even closer to a time when all people feel included, heard and respected.

Thank you to Chad Clippingdale and our Board of Directors for their work in gathering the ideas and developing our clear goals for the coming three years.
