Southeastern Connecticut Housing Alliance (SECHA)

SECHA was incorporated in 2006 as an advocacy organization dedicated to promoting affordable housing in southeastern Connecticut. SECHA took the place of the Blue Ribbon Panel for Housing, which was formed following a 2002 study of housing needs in the region. Today, SCCOG and SECHA work closely, with SCCOG providing staff support to SECHA.
