We will promote teamwork to foster innovation and imagination in order to address issues and promote their effectiveness resolution.
SRHA recognizes that high quality planning is a top priority as SRHA moves to meet evolving community development, conservation and housing needs, and that success requires knowledge of multiple regulatory community and environmental components, combined with consideration and evaluation of SRHA’s current and developing strengths.
Analysis of the environment within which SRHA operates includes the following:
- Governmental regulatory and legal considerations
- An overview of the demographics and the strategic growth and operational plans for the entire City of Suffolk, the community we serve.
- Knowledge of planning information along with current housing and redevelopment plans and needs, segmented by city boroughs and ongoing evaluations of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of and to SRHA resulting from the convergence of these external environmental components within which SRHA operates as they relate to the existing infrastructure of SRHA.
By consideration and evaluation of information developed through this analysis, the Board of Commissioners and the Executive Director shall develop objectives and budget guidelines that will guide the efforts of managers and staff organization-wide during the coming year.
