The Path We Walk Together
Path Home aligns its internal practices with its vision of the future. Our community and interpersonal interactions are grounded in the below values and in our group agreements which were developed by staff and leadership in 2020.
Collaboration
We work in and partner with the community as a whole, including volunteers, local government, and religious congregations, to provide the highest level of service possible. It really does take a village.
Compassion and mutual respect
We create an open environment, where acceptance and dignity are experienced by all. We provide a supportive and nurturing environment to the families we serve and, in doing so, benefit the larger community.
Human connections
We honor the connections between people and do not discriminate. By acting in a humanitarian way, we serve as agents of change for the larger community.
Innovation and engagement
We accomplish our goals by adopting an entrepreneurial approach and taking creative, flexible, inventive and opportunistic actions. We are not afraid to do things differently.
Accountability
We measure our success by whether our work allows individual lives—and our larger community—to change for the better. We are committed to our mission and to producing measurable results. We employ rigorous self-assessment and commit to sound financial management to ensure that our progress remains consistent with our mission.
Stewardship
We accomplish our mission by depending on others’ generosity and compassion. We respect donors’ intentions and restrictions on the use of their gifts, and promote responsible stewardship of the resources they entrust to us for the accomplishment of our work
Excellence
We support and encourage visionary governance, exemplary management, excellent service and program delivery, and exceptional staff. We value and uphold the highest ethical and professional standards in all working relations.
Integrity
We engage in activities, services, and programs that are consistent with our stated mission, compatible with our organizational capacity, respectful of the interests of our varied constituencies, and managed with the highest level of professionalism.
Our Commitment to Equity & Inclusion
Path Home recognizes that there is an inextricable link between race and homelessness. The housing market has systematically and intentionally denied homeownership (and thus wealth accumulation) opportunities to people of color through redlining, discriminatory lending practices, state-imposed taxes on residents of color, as well as displacement through gentrification, and many others. As a result, there is an unequal playing field in the housing market that disproportionately disadvantages communities of color. Homelessness and housing stability are not simply issues of individual moral or economic failings, but rather the effects of institutional and systemic racism and discrimination against BIPOC communities.
Path Home is committed to dismantling the structures of oppression and systemic racism within our own organization, and our community.
An Equity Team guides our racial equity work. We used the Coalition of Communities of Color's "Tool for Organizational Self-Assessment Related to Racial Equity" to identify a baseline for where Path Home is on our journey towards becoming an anti-racist organization. The Equity Team, in partnership with our Board and Staff, creates annual work plans to guide our equity journey. This year's goals include building our capacity in using a Racial Equity Analysis, revising our bylaws to bake in our equity commitments, examining our internal and external communication to ensure it is anti-oppressive and anti-racist, building cultural competencies for staff, creating opportunities and incentives for staff to examine their personal cultural identity and bias, reviewing and revising hiring policies and procedures using our Equity Analysis.
