Our Strategic Plan

Sojourn House’s Board of Directors undertook a strategic planning session in September 2015. It was through this strategic planning meeting that 5 outcome goals were identified. Through the years of 2016-2018 we will work towards implementing the following:

  • We will provide more housing and shelter to refugees.
  • We will meet emerging needs by providing responsive programs, with partners where appropriate.
  • We will increase and diversify our funding to better respond to emerging refugee needs.
  • We will effectively advocate for refugee rights.
  • We will strengthen our organizational capacity to achieve our goals.
