Who we are:
For over 30 years, CSH has changed the lives of people who have been marginalized and are our most vulnerable neighbors by:

• Helping communities create over 385,000 homes for individuals and families who did not have one;

• Ensuring not only a stable home for each, but access to the services that brought healthcare, recovery and training to their doorsteps.

CSH and our partners have proven supportive housing can change the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
