Home > About Us

Sussex Housing & Care was formed in 1946 by a group of local residents working in senior positions in health and housing.

The supporters and employees of the organisation still work towards the association's intial aim - to ensure 'in old age there should be security, and that no-one in their latter years should find themselves stranded, with nowhere to go, and no-one to befriend them.'

From these beginnings, SHC has extended and now offers a range of quality homes and care services for over 800 residents in a variety of locations in Sussex.
