resident services

redefining affordable housing
through resident services and education

CHP’s commitment to meeting clients' needs beyond housing led to the creation of our Resident Integrated Services & Education (RISE) program in 1997. RISE is an organization-wide network that combines human services with economic development programming. RISE programming assists low- to moderate-income families in overcoming commonly faced obstacles around issues such as illiteracy, lack of job skills, poor physical and mental health, social isolation, and money management.
CHP's staff establishes partnerships and linkages with other community-based service providers to develop and operate RISE program activities. The program focuses on 8 areas of skill development, including the following:

• Resource Management
• Family Literacy
• Health Care
• Job Readiness
• Technology Training
• Home Ownership
• Personal Development
• Community Building

Our resident services are a critically important part of neighborhood development at CHP. This program helps make our neighborhoods safer, higher quality places to live and provides residents with the skills they need to be successful. We are committed to providing these services because they support the long-term viability of neighborhoods and promote positive, successful resident and community development.

We currently provide access to resident services for over 10,000 families at CHP properties located in the Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida.
