Research shows that, demographically and culturally, Houston is a precursor for what Texas will look like in the next 10-15 years. Texas, in turn, will be the model for what the nation looks like in the middle of the 21st century. We have the incredible opportunity before us to shape the way America thinks, responds and works in a multicultural environment.
For us to realize the benefits of these opportunities and to realize our vision of individuals and communities living up to their full potential, Neighborhood Centers Inc. must:
-
Address the inequities in educational outcomes.
-
Build a continuum of services in support of independent living for seniors.
-
Maximize early care and education through funding and site integration.
-
Support “centered” neighborhood development.
-
Help emerging communities articulate identity and secure representation.
These are the five strategic directions we embrace – objectives that are at the heart of everything we do – as we eagerly accept the challenge of leading our communities, our state and our nation.
