Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

As a community action agency our goal is to changes people’s lives for the better by addressing their needs and impediments, providing support and care, improving communities. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.

We address food, homelessness, childhood education and care, home weatherization, senior and low income housing. We work in Inyo, Mono and Alpine counties.

We are the Continuum of Care, Food Bank, State Preschool and Community Child Care organization for our service area. We have a small but mighty staff with the assistance of many caring volunteers from our community. We have a great working relationship with our cities and counties and we work together to provide the services and support needed by our clients.

We have a good record of moving families from homeless to permanent housing, and from food insecure to food secure and with enrolling the children in our preschool. In our area most of the land is owned by some government entity. This has lead to a dire shortfall of available housing, especially for low to moderate income people. We are working with the local, county and state governments in our service area to try to address this need.

Data
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • 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 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.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • 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 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.
