Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Assisi House’s mission is to house previously unhoused individuals in small, communal settings where
each person is treated with dignity and respect.
Assisi House is founded on the principle that each individual is of infinite value, and deserves the opportunity to live in a place where they have respite from the devastating effects of being unhoused.
Assisi House approaches this mission in a manner that is both cost-effective and humane. By avoiding government funding and by keeping our houses small, we can be very flexible in addressing our residents’ needs and very supportive in building communities within our houses.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
See attached strategic plan.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Raising funds through grants and donations to apply to securing housing for placement of unhoused individuals. Employing individuals and volunteers in capacities to serve the needs of residents and maintain the housing resources secured.
