BHT Sussex
BHT Sussex provides support for rough sleepers, homes, specialist support services, legal advice and representation, and other specialist services across Sussex.
Our Mission is ‘combating homelessness, creating opportunities, promoting change’.
We see it as our role to both challenge the causes of homelessness, poverty and marginalisation and to deal with the consequences.
BHT Sussex is a people-led organisation. First and foremost are the individuals who access our services.
Our most important assets are our staff. BHT Sussex employs over 250 members of staff who bring a rich assortment of skills, expertise and professionalism which is an essential ingredient of turning people’s lives around.
BHT Sussex invests in its staff through a comprehensive training programme.
BHT Sussex is run by a partnership of senior managers and the Board of Management. The Board sets overall strategic direction for the organisation and approves policies while the Senior Management, led by the Chief Executive, is responsible for the day to day running of the organisation, as well as advising the Board on the future direction of BHT Sussex and achieving value for money.
Over the past 50 years BHT Sussex has developed a diverse menu of services to support people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, and people who have complex needs.
Our services include day centre provision, residential rehabilitation, mental health services, specialist housing, legal advice, and work, learning and training initiatives.
