Strategic Planning Committee
Assesses Needs for Next 3 Years!

A group of dedicated staff and community members has come together to create a road map for our future. The Strategic Planning Committee seeks to preserve and advance the mission of PVSS through foresighted decisions informed by donors, clients, waitlist numbers, and the examination of county-wide homelessness trends. On a recent Saturday, the Committee joined by the staff and board, reviewed the research and determined areas of importance. As the group weaved its way through survey and interview notes, themes emerged and priorities were set. There's still much work to be done but look for the final plan to be announced in early July.
