Thanking Our Partners!
During 2016, we proudly continued many longstanding partnerships, renewed previous ones and gained several new supporters. We thank each and every one for their investments of time, energy and capital. These organizations believe in our mission and see the impact and value of our work. We, in turn, see like-minded organizations that empower people to make informed decisions and strengthen and protect communities. Take a minute to see who supports us, and when you have a need for services or building materials, keep them in mind.
2017 Board of Directors
Meet our Board of Directors and slate of officers for 2017. Since our inception, the Board of Directors has provided council, leadership and insight to further our mission and strengthen the communities we serve. We are grateful for their dedicated service and their vision for our future.
Capacity Building in 2017
Building resilient and sustainable communities is a very, very long and dedicated conversation. We are now having that chat in seven states so SHA is planning to add a third staff person in the new year. We are very excited for the potential impacts we will make with our increased capacity. Stay in touch and keep informed as we move through this new year to see how these conversations progress.
