Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To assist in the eradication of homelessness in the City of Santa Clarita as much as possible, as well as share knowledge with the unhoused community members about the resources available to them.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Put boots on the ground, both figuratively and literally. We have a street outreach team as well as case managers that visit people currently experiencing homelessness and recently housed citizens to further assist them on their journey.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We currently employ 12 Case Managers, 21 Residential Advisors, 4 Street Outreach staff & various interns and volunteers from outside organizations and industries that bring with them a multitude of knowledge and experience to assist our clients during their reentry to independent living.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Although progress with this population is rather hard to gather, as the population moves on and is not mandated to report as would someone previously incarcerated, as an example. We can only do our part to get them housed and connect them to the proper resources through the coordinated housing authority entry process and wish them well. However, in the hundreds of clients we have assisted with housing in the past years under 10 have reentered the shelter phase. This to us means great progress!

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
