families?3. How do we raise money to
cover our costs?

Goal 2: NRI communities demonstrate a higher quality of life

Some possible qualitative measures will be:
• What percentage of families feel connected to their neighbors and neighborhood?
• How many families would reach out to their neighbors to help with an emergency trip to the hospital?
• Do a majority of the families in the neighborhood feel it is safer than it was before the project started.
• What percentage of the neighborhood’s families think that public services like garbage pickup and police patrols are adequate in the neighborhood?
Goal 3: Habitat receives broader-based financial support
