Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State (HFHTS)
Habitat for Humanity of the Tri-State has engaged Collective Impact to facilitate a strategic planning project for the organization. As part of the project, we are examining the organization through our signature Planning Impact Domains: Governance and Leadership; Financial and Legal; Human Resources and Culture; Programs, Services, and Facilities, Internal Communication and Information Systems; and Marketing, Branding, and Relationships. In addition, we are conducting environmental assessments to identify the organization’s strengths, challenges, opportunities, and capacity.

The project will culminate with the development of strategic planning materials that will build upon emerging opportunities identified throughout the project, recap the activities and results of the planning process, and prioritize goals, strategies, and tactics to serve as a “road map” to intentionally move the organization forward into the future.

Among other things, we will be examining provider shortages, distribution of shortage areas, recruitment, retention, and system infrastructure. We will also be working to develop and launch a rural health partnership structure to implement key strategies and initiatives identified throughout the process. Looking forward to producing outstanding project outcomes with this top-notch team of dedicated professionals and laying the groundwork for strengthening the health care workforce system in the state!

Youth Services System, Inc. (YSS)
Collective Impact has been retained to help YSS assess the substance abuse prevention or substance use disorder prevention coalitions in Region 1 which includes the counties of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, and Wetzel.
 
As part of this work, we are conducting key informant interviews with coalition staff and members from each of the four coalitions in the region.  In addition to the interviews, we are conducting a survey with coalition stakeholders.  We will also be talking with coalition stakeholders from around West Virginia, and in other states.
 
We are using the ReIGNITE framework which focuses our assessment on six key elements including: Inspire, Govern, Network, Implement, Train, and Evaluate. These elements are being used as the lens to assess the coalition’s current functioning and identify opportunities for it to revise, rejuvenate, or reenergize.
