The SEPP Team

The SEPP Group has been serving the communities of the Southern Tier for over 50 years. Our team's collective expertise continues to produce the best available housing arrangements for seniors and the disabled throughout the Southern Tier.


From our Executive Director

Every milestone we reach is a powerful reminder of our mission: to build stronger, more inclusive communities through affordable housing, sustainable development, and support for our most vulnerable neighbors.

None of this would be possible without the incredible people who stand behind it, our hardworking staff, our supportive board of directors, and the trusted partnerships we’ve built with local officials and developers across Broome County. They are the driving force that brings our mission to life.

Our mission isn’t just a statement, it’s a promise to listen, serve, and uplift. Whether we’re helping seniors and families find affordable housing or revitalizing a neighborhood, we are guided by compassion, purpose, and a belief in the power of community.

The greatest reward is seeing the impact in people’s lives: the smile of a new resident, the pride of a restored home, the hope of a brighter future. These moments fuel our commitment and keep us moving forward—together.
