Barton Institute Launches 2020 Strategic Plan

The Barton Institute Board recently approved a strategic plan focusing its work on safe community spaces and helping to increase access to and opportunity for wealth, health, and mental health in the communities where we work.

A new element called out in the strategic plan is the Barton Institute’s commitment to providing in-kind support for safe parking for people living in their vehicles, building on our work with the Colorado Village Collaborative to support tiny home villages for people who have experienced homelessness.

“Since the creation of the Barton Institute, we’ve been looking for ways to partner with local community members who are working to improve their lives,” says David Miller, CEO of the Barton Institute.

“A focus on space and opportunity allows us to do just that, building on our deep partnership with Lifespan Local. This is especially important as our communities deal with a worldwide pandemic.”
