Who We Are:

Building on a long-standing tradition of environmental, economic, and social responsibility, CHP is a nonprofit that has been working with private and public partners since 1975 to develop and preserve award-winning homes and neighborhoods. Together with our partners, we revitalize communities, foster stability for our residents, and promote a healthier planet for future generations.

Our over 400 employees deliver a wide range of services, including real estate development, construction, energy services and training, asset management, property management, realty and homeownership, and comprehensive resident services. We champion housing stability, and our work within our communities reflects our core values of resilience, impact, stewardship, and equity.

Resident Services establishes partnerships and linkages with other service providers to develop and implement program activities focusing on three content areas:  Community Programs, Housing Stability, and Senior Services. Our staff works with our residents to increase their quality of life by assisting residents in reaching their individual goals and increasing their self-sufficiency skills. This is accomplished by conducting individual and/or community assessments to determine services needed and then connecting residents with resources or services based on their needs. Experience working with youth populations and families, community engagement, life skills, and referrals to community-based resource services are important for this position.

Excellent networking skills are essential as this position actively builds and maintains partnerships with local resources such as community agencies, schools, business leaders, and communities of faith to ensure clients have access to needed support and services. Compassion, empathy, and a strong desire to help disadvantaged populations are essential, as are creativity, active listening skills, and the ability to analyze results to determine success. Successful candidates will be able to effectively demonstrate strong problem-solving, customer service, and communication skills.
