SHA's Mission: The Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey (SHA) is a statewide, nonprofit organization, founded in 1998, whose mission is to promote and maintain a strong supportive housing industry in New Jersey serving people with special needs.

SHA's Vision: We envision a New Jersey where people with special needs can thrive in inclusive communities and live independently and with dignity —made possible by a strong, well-supported network of  member organizations that we empower through resources, innovation, collaboration, and advocacy for systems change.

The Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey unites its diverse coalition of members to advance, promote, and increase supportive housing opportunities across New Jersey. We seek to enhance lives and accessibility to enable independent living within our communities and do this by:

Providing resources and services to our membership of over 100 organizations which include nonprofit and for-profit housing developers, service providers, allied statewide advocacy organizations, corporate vendors and professional organizations, all dedicated to the supportive housing industry

Strengthening the capacity of member organizations to provide supportive housing services through information, training, and collaboration

Advocating for innovation and systems-change to provide more flexible funding and increased mainstream housing opportunities to allow people with disabilities to live as independently as possible

Educating policy makers, elected officials, people living with disabilities/families and the public on the use and benefits of the supportive housing model
