Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam (HFHKP) periodically reflects on its successes and shortcomings through a strategic planning process. In 2018, HFHKP completed this process and adopted a strategic plan for the period from June 2018 through May 2021.

As we begin this process anew, we recognize that our most recent strategic planning period was tumultuous and was impacted by a severe injury to a key member of our staff,  the global COVID-19 pandemic, and substantial staff turnover including the retirement of our executive director and business manager.

As we emerge from this unique period in our history and look ahead to the next several years, we reach out to gather input from our stakeholders. As you respond to the following, please recognize the challenges and opportunities that our community has faced over the last several years and consider our environment for the period July 2022 through June 2025.
