Also known as: SIGs
SIGs are groups of ordinary people sharing common priorities and concerns who band together to effect change. They could include people of a particular age group, gender, familial status, disability, work, or neighborhood. Almost any set of individuals connected by a common issue could become a SIG, except for spiritual or religious groups.
These groups formed the SIG Council, where issues identified by one group would be presented along with proposed changes. Every other group would then examine the problem and its proposals to see if it could help or hurt with their particular alignments. Changes were proposed to help each other. Finalized proposals were presented to the Foundation Board and, if approved, sent to Habitat Governance for final approval and implementation.
