GUIDING VALUES Making Effective and Equitable Decisions A set of guiding values has been woven throughout the Quality of Life planning process. These values are in line with how we envision that all decision-making can happen in the Opportunity Neighborhood Corridor: with and for residents at every step of the process. ABUNDANCE THINKING This mindset focuses on what we have; allowing us to see the possible in what already exists, rather than assuming resources are limited. Every neighborhood has unique assets, and success comes from finding and focusing on these as key strengths. COLLABORATION Success doesn’t happen though the work of one organization or coalition alone, but through on-theground collaboration with residents and neighborhood associations as key partners. COMMUNITY-DRIVEN Residents and the groups they form are “in the driver’s seat” to inform decisions most likely to impact them. This allows work to move forward with robust and ongoing engagement. CONSENSUS Dialogue is used as a method to resolve conflict and find common ground. EVIDENCE Significant impacts take many years to realize, so benchmarks and indicators of progress are important to inform action, sustain focus, and learn about what is working and what needs adjustment. EQUITY Intentionally providing everyone a fair chance to attain their highest potential and acknowledging that people have different needs based on different circumstances and situations. INCLUSIVITY Everyone who has something to contribute is welcome at the table, and there are intentional efforts to bring in new voices throughout the process. INVESTMENT Change happens and momentum is sustained by prioritizing and lifting up investments in higherneed neighborhoods. Partners commit to community-driven goals and practices. RELATIONSHIPS The heart of any collaborative work is building relationships, deepening trust, and recognizing that everyone comes to the table with the best intentions. SHARED LEADERSHIP Leaders come in all forms, are passionate about their community, and are willing to work with others to outline a vision, drive results, and share power. 14 • www.opportunityneighborhoods.com
