2026-2030 Strategic Compass

Since 1970, MidPen has lived by our founding mission: To provide safe, affordable housing of high quality to those in need; establish stability and opportunity in the lives of residents; and foster diverse communities that allow people from all ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds to live in dignity, harmony, and mutual respect.

To maximize our mission impact in today’s rapidly changing and uncertain environment, we will lead with intention and agility, guided by our five-year Strategic Compass and always rooted in our Mission, Core Values, and Guiding Principles. Together, we’re charting a course to 13,000 homes for 30,000 residents.

HOMES

At a time when the need is greater than ever, we will deepen and extend impact within our 12-county geography.

Create 2,500 new homes.

  • Dedicate 25% to serve people who face the greatest challenges to housing stability, such as people who have experienced or are risk of homelessness.
  • Produce much-needed housing for lower-wage working families and seniors with fixed incomes.

Invest in sustaining the high quality of our communities for the long term.

Champion increased funding and transform fractured public systems to speed delivery of – and sustain – homes and services for people in need.

RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY

Guided by residents’ voices and experiences, we build upon housing as a foundation for vibrant communities where everyone can live their best lives.

With mission-aligned partners and resident input, design responsive programs that residents can use to advance their individual goals for education, mental and physical health, and economic power.

Build and sustain strong neighborhood and place-based partnerships that foster connection, shared responsibility, and environments where residents will thrive.
