LOOKING FORWARD
WE ARE EAGER TO MEET NEW OPPORTUNITIES going forward. In 2016 alone, Operation Pathways intends to expand its business by more than 20%, adding many new program sites to its portfolio. The projections are similar for 2017. While remaining a proud NHPF Affiliate, we are also speaking with other affordable housing developers and owners about providing them high-quality resident services.
We also have big plans within each of our pathways:
Pathway to Healthier Living We are looking forward to expanding our national GirlTrek and Oldways partnerships across our service portfolio. These two collaborators have high-achieving programs, led by highly skilled and motivational leaders. With GirlTrek’s focus on fitness and Oldways’ emphasis on nutrition, together we are making our communities healthier one step (and meal) at a time. Pathway to Academic Achievement Our plan for 2016 is to re-focus our efforts during out-of-school time programs to infiltrate a S.T.E.A.M. approach to our programming for children and youth. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics will soon shape the daily schedules of our out-of-school time programs, as we incorporate these content areas into fun and engaging projects and physical activities. Pathway to Financial Stability Operation Pathways is excited to explore the possibility of initiating an Individual Development Account (IDA) program across our portfolio. While we are still seeking full funding for the program, we have already received partial matches for the accounts. With our IDA program, we will be helping our residents build savings to purchase assets and gain greater self-sufficiency.
