IHV's & Beyond!
This past week I visited with neighbors, two with Bill Ghio, four with Larry Dinoff and I met with a couple that had requested help at their home.
Our goal is to conduct the VERY BEST, MOST EFFICIENT, Initial Home Visitations possible!
When we are at our best, after the IHV, we will have gained the following insights:
Able to decide if we will proceed with the repairs requested
Able to decide if we will engage a contractor to obtain a bid for repairs
The 25 priority list will be completed
We will have an idea if any of the repairs can be done by volunteers
We will have set expectations with the neighbor about what the next steps are
We will have pictures of the proposed repairs
We will have documented all of the IHV information in SalesForce
WHEW!
Seems like a lot, and yet, "It's not rocket science!" It's being intentional and attentive to details.
We serve our neighbors better when WE get better.
As our organization grows we need to be able to process hundreds of applications every year. And, becoming better at our Initial Home Visits is the 1st step!

BTW - Jen & I are going to Johnson City, TN in November to help Appalachia Service Project with IHV's!
