·         Building strong, caring and trauma-informed communities through the integration of housing, health care and supportive services. 

·         Advocating for social and racial equity, inclusion and diversity, and challenging the status quo in partnership with our workforce members and those we serve. 

·         Achieving excellence through continuous quality assurance, innovation and professional development. 

·         Using resources judiciously and effectively.
