Strategic Impact

The work reflected here represents founder-led initiatives and strategic leadership contributed by Amanda Cherryholmes prior to and alongside the development of Two Wings Consulting, LLC. 

Collectively, these efforts demonstrate a sustained focus on systems design, measurable outcomes, and the advancement of durable community infrastructure. 

Select initiatives are accompanied by archived documentation that captures decision support, regulatory engagement, municipal collaboration, and structured planning outcomes, illustrating how strategic frameworks translated into operational reality across community contexts. 

Successfully negotiated an increase in the warming shelter operational temperature trigger from 35 degrees to 39 degrees - expanding open nights from 13 nights to 47 during the following winter season and significantly strengthened community cold-weather response capacity.

The expanded shelter strategy contributed to a documented 40% reduction in hypothermia-related medical cases, lowering emergency healthcare utilization and reducing financial burden on the local hospital system, and taxpayers. 

Secured $45,000 in government funding following a formal presentation to city leadership - positioning the organization to establish a permanent location and expand coordinated service delivery. 

Authored and implemented a structured case management model within a dual-function navigation center and warming shelter, designed to advance long-term stabilization outcomes through coordinated care pathways, measurable client progress, and an integrated service delivery framework. 

Designed a transportation program for school-aged youth in partnership with Lincoln County. After demonstrating program success, the initiative secured grant funding and transitioned to county oversight - expanding county-wide student access. 

Led a data-driven response to public opposition regarding shelter placement, utilizing real-time municipal records to successfully challenge community misconceptions and demonstrate a measurable decline in local crime rates during operational periods. 

House Bill 4123 established state-funded pilot programs to advance coordinated regional homelessness response systems. This documentation reflects early interagency alignment, formal application for pilot participation, and the subsequent development of a five-year strategic plan following Lincoln County’s selection and award. 

Designed a structured peer-support framework enabling billable engagement, goal-based progress tracking, and expanded access to stabilization resources - including communication tools, therapy support, and short-term rental assistance. 

Developed under Coastal Support Services, this strategic framework presents a coordinated model for crisis response and winter shelter infrastructure across Lincoln County. The work focuses on closing service gaps, strengthening interagency collaboration, and creating sustainable pathways from crisis to long-term stability. 

Produced a multi-variable environmental risk analysis utilizing NOAA projections, wind metrics, precipitation patterns, and temperature fluctuation data to inform regional emergency planning and shelter strategy. 

Contributed operational frameworks that helped shape the establishment of a permanent budgeted winter shelter with integrated case management - now embedded within Lincoln County-level human services infrastructure.
