*****

The Hyams Foundation trustees recently completed a strategic planning process that included an assessment of the Foundation’s current work and exploration of how the Foundation can have an even greater impact in the future. The trustees have decided to focus the Foundation’s resources on three major goals:

increasing civic engagement in communities of color and other low-income communities;

increasing access to affordable housing for families of color, extremely low-income families and other low-income families; and

increasing long-term success among teens of color and other low-income teens who are at high risk.
