Case Study: SHELTER, Inc.

HUEMAN GROUP MEDIA
About this episode

This is a case study episode that highlights how Spring Impact and mission-driven organizations work together to change more lives.

Today’s guest is Karri Eggers, Chief Operating Officer of Shelter, the leading homeless non-profit in Contra Costa County near San Francisco. Karri and Shelter came to Spring Impact knowing that they urgently needed a new mental health program but couldn’t afford missteps in setting it and scaling it up. The challenge was that they needed to create something that was individualized to each person’s unique circumstances - but could also reach the whole community.

In today’s episode, Karri shares how Spring Impact helped by facilitating a Lean sprint, training the Shelter team to think big, yet start small and relentlessly seek impact.
