OUR TREE CANOPY STRATEGY
✓Lifeline has 5 core service areas, and in each of those areas, we have key government contracts or stable funding to support the programmatic tree.
✓Rather than 5 separate trees, we have a tree canopy where we share and leverage contracts and funds across the organization.
✓It also symbolically represents our desire to integrate services across the organization, break-down programmatic silos, and wrap services around youth, adults, and their families to achieve self-reliance.
✓Economic Empowerment serves as the shared foundation beneath all five program areas, providing the stability and resources that help each one grow.
