VALUES BEGIN AT HOME

RESPECT:

Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help them build their future. Treat them with respect and value the work it has taken for them to survive.

DIGNITY:

Show each tenant that they are valued and worthy of being treated well, regardless of their past history.

EQUITY:

When we approach each tenant with a lens to what they need individually to be successful, they can believe that we want the best for them. They will also better understand our expectations and the outcomes.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY:

Life is full of choices. Some are made for us and some we make for ourselves. We work to empower people and support their life sustaining choices.

PARTNERSHIPS:

Rather than being the answer to all our tenants’ needs, we seek to partner with other groups to ‘share the load’. Community partnerships include the formal and informal community connections, collaborative projects, and relationships that address tenants needs and goals.

COMMUNITY:

Building ongoing long-term relationships with organizations which complement our program and meet the needs of our tenants is a powerful community development strategy. It takes a network of services to make our community stronger.
