The Brisben Center’s theory of change envisions a bridge that helps people move from homelessness and its causes to healthy housing sustained by a livable wage income. Its five pillars and six arches create a solid foundation and supportive structure that make measurable success possible. Clients, the Center, and the community all have essential roles.
◆Capability: What is the client capable of?
◆Motivation: Does the client aspire to participate in shaping their future?
◆Accountability: Is the client working on a results- based plan to achieve their potential?
◆Effective Services: Are the Brisben Center and community providing the right mixture of supports to help homeless adults and children move from dependence to independence?
◆Apply Resources Effectively: Is our investment of resources resulting in wellbeing among our clients and our community?
◆Clients work with a case manager and Mobility Mentoring® volunteer coach to set and achieve S.M.A.R.T. goals, starting with:
◆Sobriety; improved mental & physical health.
◆Healthy parenting—ending the cycle of generational homelessness.
◆Learning and applying skills to secure and sustain livable wage income.
◆Financial literacy: saving and investing resources wisely to afford and sustain a decent and affordable home.
◆Mutual care and well-being of home and community.
