Our Mission

Sussex Housing Group (SHG) is a partnership of over 100 organizations that includes representation from over 200 members from the public and private sectors, non-profits, and other community-based organizations.

SHG brings together individuals and organizations to form an effective coalition that fosters safe, fair, and affordable housing, and builds community based on the power of people and place.

To achieve this mission, SHG has adopted the following pillars as our foundation:

Pillar One (1) Advocacy: SHG promotes healthy communities with quality affordable housing options for all.

Pillar Two (2) Focused Initiatives: SHG uses a democratic process to define and create focused initiatives that advance its mission throughout Sussex County. These initiatives provide residents in Sussex County communities with information, resources, and advocacy opportunities related to safe, fair, and affordable housing.

Pillar Three (3) Capacity Building: SHG builds capacity to improve services to Sussex communities, particularly low-income communities, through networking and partnerships.
