HOUSING NOW
Our main housing program!
We lease and buy multi-bedroom houses then sub-lease rooms to individuals at market-rate rents they can afford
Housing Now is our flagship program and it houses the majority of our clients. It fills a significant gap in affordable housing in Chico where we are able to lease multi-bedroom houses and then sub-lease the rooms to low-income individuals. We have found that many homeless people have some income but still need help in order to get housing and keep it.
How it works:
-
CHAT locates affordable multi-bedroom rental properties.
-
We develop and maintain relationships with sympathetic property owners.
-
We sign the lease, so the property owner is protected.
-
We make bedrooms available to residents at cost.
-
We provide supportive services like goal setting and financial management to residents who want them to enable them to succeed.
-
We provide free regular maintenance for the properties, frequently giving them better maintenance than they had previously.
