GOAL 1:
Help Low-Income People Become More Self-Sufficient
Employment and Education are the two most important factors leading to self-sufficiency. Program
staff works with customers to find permanent employment, healthcare, transportation, and childcare.
GOAL 2:
Improve Conditions in Which Low-Income People Live
NRCA helps low-income families and individuals to obtain or remain in safe and affordable housing.
GOAL 3:
Encourage Low-Income People to Own a Stake in Their Community
Staff and customers are invited to take part in volunteer activities, councils, and committees that have
positive impact on the community. Participation in program advisory councils and committees give our
customers a chance to contribute their ideas.
GOAL 4:
Create Partnerships Among Service Providers and Low-Income
Families
NRCA builds committed partnerships and agreements with organizations, area services, and
community supporters to ensure our customers’ success. These partnerships are essential for
comprehensive customer care.
GOAL 5:
Increase Agency Capacity to Help More Low-Income Families
As the pressure for limited resources increases, NRCA must successfully manage its finances and
raise additional funds to continue providing essential services. These realities call for NRCA to bring
forth its collective experience and expertise to meet new demands through innovative, pro-active cost
containment, financial management, and fund development strategies.
GOAL 6:
Strengthen Low-Income Family Support System
NRCA builds strong families by providing supportive services that give families the tools and
resources to succeed and achieve financial independence, while embracing core family values.
NRCA believes in building strong families to build strong communities.
