Page 5 - 2024-2029 UP Strategic Plan draft

“Urban Pathways gave me a chance

to get out of the shelter when I
thought I’d never get out.”

OVERVIEW

The 2024-2029 Strategic Plan is based on contributions from
the Urban Pathways’ workforce, the Board of Directors, and

external partners including the people we serve. It
incorporates data from focus groups, interviews, surveys,

reports and records. This was an intentionally inclusive and
equitable process designed to bring forth a wide diversity of

voices from across our community and to engage our
stakeholders.

The strategic planning process included the following key
elements:

• A mission statement that identifies our purpose;
• A vision statement that portrays our desired future and identity;
• Core values that represent our agreed upon principles;
• Our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (i.e., SWOT
analysis);
• A description of the priorities that must be addressed through the
Strategic Plan; and,
• A set of overarching and bold goals designed to close the gaps
between where we are today and where we desire to be in the
future.

Following the Board’s approval of the Strategic Plan, the

Senior Team and workforce will identify and implement
specific strategies and tactics to implement the Plan, under
the broad oversight of the Board of Directors and Board
Committees.
