Part III -- Geographic Priorities During the term of this Strategic Plan, the Town of Chapel Hill may target a portion of housing and community development funding in selected neighborhoods. The balance of housing and community development assistance will be widely dispersed throughout the Town. To promote increased housing choice and opportunity, efforts will be made to increase the number of public and assisted housing units located outside areas of minority and low - income concentration. The County will utilize its funds on a county -wide basis. Part IV - objectives! Strategies and Performance Indicators Strategic planning is the process of looking toward the future, identifying why an organization exists, what it would look like if it achieved its mission and the concrete steps it must take to achieve that vision. Data that tell if you are achieving results on your strategic plan are perform- ance measures. Performance measurement helps translate an organization's strategy into tan- gible objectives and performance indicators. Output indicators measure performance in the shorter term and include items such as the number of applications received, houses rehabili- tated, etc. It is important to note that output indicators will generally be within the control of the community and its partners_ This integrated process, known as Managing for Results, is based on: • Identifying goals, objectives and strategies as well as relevant measures; • Determining what resources are necessary to achieve them; • Analyzing and evaluating performance data; and • Using that data to drive improvements in an organization. The following charts utilize this performance- centered approach to outline the local approach to housing and community development in the upcoming five years. All objectives and perform- ance indicators are based on a five -year time frame.
