Mission Our mission is to create and maintain sustainable resilient homes and communities. Vision We envision a place where families are in homes and communities that are affordable, well-designed and maintained in a manner that supports the health, safety and economic stability of residents. Guiding Principle Working on the premise that long-term economic vitality, environmental health, and social cohesion are necessary and interdependent; and that the health of one determines the health of all; we take an integrated approach to developing sustainable communities where the needs of the present residents are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. NHS of Staten Island provides programming that engages communities in Staten Island, for Social, Economic and Environmental transformation, development and resilience. Social Development and Impact Building social capital and equity refers to the norms and networks that enable people to act collectively for a better and more resilient community. NHS of Staten Island engages these networks by promoting Resident Leadership and increasing communities’ ladder of participation to be better positioned to assist in creating and maintaining clean, safe, healthy, livable, resilient and sustainable communities.
