ABOUT US

OUR CORE BELIEFS

• Home is where the “start” is. We believe a home is not just built on a foundation; it is the foundation that supports every other opportunity for people to have better healthier, and more satisfying lives.
• People first. We believe compassion for others and passion for helping them improve their lives moves us to do the right things in the right ways to meet our clients’ greatest needs and support their greatest opportunities.
• Whatever it takes. We believe exceptional service means doing more than required and being better than expected at all we do to support clients and the health of our community.
• Better Together. We believe people and situations are unique and complex, so we must effectively plan, collaborate and communicate with community partners to support our clients.
• Integrity Matters. We believe respect, trust, accountability and transparency are essential to make our mission possible, our team strong, and SHA a great place to work.
• Stewardship starts with us. We believe we have been entrusted to protect important community resources and commit to the careful and responsible management of those resources in every decision we make.
• Equity in Everything We Do. We believe equitable access to safe, affordable housing allows people to live with dignity, experience lifelong growth, and build financial security. We also believe systemic and institutional inequities, especially in matters of race, remain significant barriers for people and communities working to reach their full potential and we commit to making equity part of our everyday operations.
