Vision
A community where all have homes, are financially stable, and thrive.
Mission
Arlington Thrive provides timely assistance to help our neighbors in need so they can develop the capacity to be stable, secure and thrive in their jobs, health and homes.
Values
Community
We believe that our community is the core of our work. We are there for our neighbors who urgently need our help to pay rent, get medical or dental care or pay utilities because of a job loss, a serious illness or some other life crisis. And we can be there for our neighbors because of the generosity and caring of our community.
Collaboration
We believe that collaboration makes all of us stronger. At the very heart of what we do, our partnerships, knowledge sharing and innovation, and connections give us the ability to help our neighbors facing financial crisis and find shared solutions to improve the lives of Arlington residents.
Diversity & Inclusion
We believe the diversity of cultures, languages, and income levels strengthens and helps us fulfill our mission. And we strive to create a diverse and inclusive organization and community where everyone shares the opportunity to prosper, is respected and appreciated as valuable members of our community despite our differences.
Integrity
We believe in working with integrity, transparency and honesty. We dedicate ourselves to honesty, openness and fairness in our stewardship of the resources entrusted to us by our donors and Arlington County. And we open our doors to invite oversight and listen to ideas that help build a stronger, more collaborative and more inclusive organization and Arlington community.
