Strategic Plan

Programs are the core of HomeFront and we will enhance services and direct our programmatic focus to an inclusive, evidence-based prevention headset.Our key agency-wide programmatic objectives are to:

1. Strengthen upstream prevention resources and programs and provide individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to prevent challenges before they arise.
2. Further incorporate evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches in our work, research, and standards of practice.
3. Improve equitable access for all Central Jersey residents to HomeFront’s range of services

Impact is how we identify the change we are seeking, measure what we value, establish learning systems to improve, and allocate resources to what works. By prioritizing impact, HomeFront is investing in the organization's ability to create lasting, positive outcomes and contribute meaningfully to our community, as we:

1. Articulate a theory of change and the measures of success for all HomeFront programs.
2. Leverage data collection and use as catalysts for transformative impact and continuous learning.
3. Improve communication (internal and external) by creating meaningful feedback channels and through intentional and consistent use of language.
4. Position technology as a strategic enabler, positioning our organization to fulfill its mission with agility, scalability, and heightened effectiveness.

People are how the work truly happens and we will equip our staff and volunteers with the preparation to be successful and support a thriving culture with the structure and tools to achieve our mission. People-centric investments lay the foundation for a thriving, dynamic, and purpose-driven organizational culture, as we:

• Foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptability with dynamic training that equips our staff, board, and volunteers with essential skills aligned with our mission, values, and the unique challenges faced by HomeFront clients.
• Assess, strengthen, and embed diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) principles across all our operations, fostering a culture of belonging and equity.
• Enhance organizational effectiveness by refining clarity in structures, procedures, communication methods, language, and support systems, fostering a culture of understanding and collaboration to ensure accessibility and support for all of HomeFront’s people.
• Build on our status as a non-profit employer of choice in Central Jersey, increase employee satisfaction and retention, and hire the best-qualified people to achieve our mission.
