What CHAT Does:
Housing Now program: Through our Housing Now program, we master-lease or own approximately 70 residences in multi-bedroom homes and apartment buildings. We sub-lease the rooms to individuals, and we lease entire homes to families in crisis, all at market-rate rents. We also provide property maintenance, volunteers who provide emotional and life-skills support, and housing support coordinators who connect residents with services and local resources.
This program includes our HUSH program for families in crisis that need a hand up, Redwood Housing for college students, a Veterans House for veterans, Mercy House for folks with serious chronic illness, and our Harmony House and Wildflower House residences for folks with mental illness.

CHAMP program: For Camp Fire survivors, our CHAMP program provides landlord incentives to rent to fire survivors who may not have the credit or income to rent from traditional landlords. Click here to learn more about CHAMP.
Food distribution program: We take in food donations from local businesses and food banks, sort them, bag them, and deliver them to most of our residences. This program is completely volunteer-run. Click here to learn more about our food program.
Furniture warehouse program: We take in donations of furniture, appliances, and housewares from local supporters and businesses at our warehouse, and we deliver them to residences as needed, and sometimes to other housing agencies in Butte County. Many incoming residents to CHAT homes have little or no furniture or housewares and may need us to furnish the entire residence. Click here to learn more about our furniture warehouse program
We help create the stability that people need to make progress in their lives!
