Our vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We have a strategic plan that states: By 2026, Habitat leads a collaborative model that serves low-income families across the continuum of affordable housing and ensures successful neighborhoods in strategically targeted areas in Greensboro. There are 4 tenets to this plan. They are 1. Habitat maintains healthy, ongoing relationships with its families. Habitat takes a leadership role in bringing non-profit and government partners together in a collaborative housing model. 3. Habitat and its partners increase the supply of quality, affordable housing and a ctively supports successful neighborhoods in Greensboro and across the world. 4. Habitat secures and stewards the resources required to support the mission of the organization.

Habitat staff and board of directors have worked together to formalize a comprehensive three year plan to meet these goals. The Leadership Team of the organization is tasked with meeting the goals and staying on course. Each Board Committee that oversees the day-to-day operations is also tasked with ensuring the accomplishment of the goals as set forward by the strategic plan.

There are concrete numbers that are associated with the goals including increase in the number of houses available for families, increase in funding for all of the programs, establishment of the Housing Hub and coalition of affordable housing organizations in the community, and the creation of a Neighborhood Revitalization project for a specific neighborhood.

This new plan is in process now so most of the work has started but has not been accomplished as yet. We have established a core group of affordable housing nonprofits and have committed to a building for the Housing Hub. We have begun pre and post purchase classes for Habitat and non-Habitat homeowners. We have begun meeting with neighborhood leaders to recruit Block Captains for Revitalization project. We have met with UNCG Center for Housing and Community Studies to analyze recent data on Greensboro neighborhoods. We are in process to determine scope and size of budget to begin the fundraising for these projects.
