The Road Ahead: Strategic Goals for 2026-2028
We aren’t just reacting to the news; we are setting the agenda. Organizational consultant, Dr. Keisha Scarlett, facilitated the development of WSCACL’s committees’ three primary strategic priorities for the next two years. These priorities will drive our programming we pursue and partnerships we build:
- By June 2028, support 150 households toward sustained housing stability.
- By June 2028, expand civic participation among 500 members.
- By June 2028, support 100 community members through financial education and business development.
To make these goals a reality, we have organized a Civic Engagement Taskforce full of our major stakeholders and led by 2026 WSCACL Membership Summit Election Panel Moderator & Civic Engagement Consultant, Andrew Ashiofu..
