Ascencia’s 2019 – 2024 Strategic Plan

Ascencia is a non‐profit organization whose mission is to lift people out of homelessness, one person, one family at a time. We envision a community where people in need can find services, resources, and safe, affordable housing. Ascencia has provided housing and services to homeless individuals and families since 2006, when it was founded as PATH Achieve Glendale. In 2012, Ascencia was named Organization of the Year by the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. That year Ascencia also launched its first ever capital campaign Advancing Ascencia. In 2018, Ascencia was named the California Nonprofit of the year in recognition of its operating model.

As a result of this success and recognition, and the growing need in our community, the focus of the 2019 – 2024 Strategic Plan will be to expand our successful model to have a greater impact on clients in need. The vision statement for this strategic plan states that we are focusing on client impact expansion in order to provide more homeless individuals and families with best value oriented programs and services.
