CCEH leadership embarked on an intensive, year-long process led by Strong Resource Group to outline where CCEH will focus and drive our resources over the next three years (2025 to 2028). Through rigorous internal and external analysis, environmental research, stakeholder feedback, and input from the board and staff, Strong Resource Group uncovered important recurring themes. These key findings, when factored against our mission, vision, and values, informed the organization’s focus areas for the coming years.

At the direction of CCEH’s board and staff leadership, CCEH will spend the next three years focusing on education and advocacy, client services, and resource management.

Within education and advocacy, CCEH’s goal is to be creative and innovative in our strategies to inform the community on the issues of surrounding homelessness. We will do this by increasing awareness and understanding of homelessness; by leading the community-wide effort to reduce stigmas around homelessness; and by being an integral thought leader and participant in city, county, and state efforts to end homelessness.

With client services, CCEH’s goal is to be aligned and have clarity on our mission, and we will concentrate on client-based programming. We will do this by providing evidenced-based practices that have effectively moved people out of homelessness; by increasing access and reducing barriers to client services; and by decreasing the time it takes to get people housed.

Finally, within resource management, CCEH’s goal is to have strong internal and external infrastructure to achieve our strategic and operational objectives. We will do this by using data to inform and evaluate all levels of our work; by building the resources to ensure long-term financial health; and by investing in our staff and technology infrastructure.
