“Urban Pathways gave me a chance
to get out of the shelter when I

thought I’d never get out.”

INTRODUCTION

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 incorporated 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
(SWOT analysis);
❖ A description of the strategic priority areas and goals; and,
❖ Objectives and key results (OKRs) designed to close the
gaps between where we are today and where we desire to
be in the future.

The Strategic Plan is a directional guide toward our desired
future. For this future to be realized, specific actions are
required at every level-Board, leadership, and staff. Urban
Pathways leaders and staff, together, identify and carry-out
the strategies and tactics needed to implement the Plan,
under the broad oversight of the Board of Directors and Board

Committees.

Note: The Strategic Planning Report provides an expanded description of
the Strategic Plan and the planning process. Please refer to this companion
document for more details and information on the background and basis for
the 2024-2029 Strategic Plan.
