Mission
Enhance the quality of life in City Heights by working with our community to create quality affordable housing and livable neighborhoods, foster economic self-sufficiency and stimulate investment.
Vision
We envision a community where:
- Quality of life standards are recognized and public private investment continues to increase to achieve higher quality of life for everyone in City Heights.
- Residents choose to improve their education and their personal economics and are afforded the opportunity to share in the wealth that is created from a revitalized, redeveloped community.
- Residents have the opportunity and recognize their responsibility to prepare, obtain and retain a job, better job, and a career, which makes it possible for them to stay and personally invest in City Heights.
- We are building a community of neighborhoods that are properly served with basic public facilities including schools, health facilities and neighborhood serving businesses that are accessible.
- We are building a community where people respect each other regardless of their country of origin, language, economic station.
We are comitted to:
- Honoring the Diversity of City Heights to respect their changing needs and to respond in accordance with our mission.
- Engaging diverse constituents who are representative of community stakeholders (cultures, seniors, faith based, youth)
- Creating effective collaborations that serve the needs of the community.
- Accountability and measured progress in our programs and projects.
- Being honest with staff, volunteers, and residents.
- Developing team skills, knowledge, and passion to achieve goals.
- Steady focus on outcomes and acceptance of shortfalls and change.
