Mission Statement
At Community Housing Associates (CHA), our mission is clear: to provide affordable independent housing for individuals living with persistent mental illness who are experiencing homelessness. We firmly believe that offering a safe and stable place to live is not just a basic necessity, but a fundamental steppingstone towards recovery, particularly for those in our community who face the unique challenges of homelessness due to mental health issues.
Through our commitment to affordable housing, we strive to create an environment where individuals can regain their independence and access the necessary resources to rebuild their lives. We are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment, helping those we serve on their journey to stability and wellness.
