About Us

Community Housing Network is a nonprofit organization committed to building thriving Metro Detroit communities by helping people establish and maintain stable, affordable homes. While we work primarily in Southeast Michigan, we have begun to develop affordable housing communities throughout the state as well.

We offer a variety of services and assistance to help people overcome homelessness and housing instability, including:

  • Street outreach, to let those who are homeless know there is a path to getting out of the cold and into a home.
  • Our Housing Resource Call Center connected 16,500 people to programs and services this year, helping them establish or maintain a stable, affordable home.
  • Programs that help families transition from shelters or motels into a home of their own.
  • Assistance with security deposits, rent and utilities, along with help obtaining furniture and basic household items, so families and individuals can have some stability as they seek to rebuild their lives.
  • Help for people facing eviction, as it is far less costly – in terms of time, money and emotional toil – to keep families in a home than it is to put them out on the street and force them to start over.
  • Compassionate group home management services for people with disabilities.
  • Five affordable housing communities in Pontiac, Oak Park and Eastpointe, providing a total of 900 homes to local families and individuals, making it the largest Permanent Supportive Housing provider in Oakland and Macomb County.

The scope of our Housing Development programs has grown as well, with nearly 900 affordable housing units developed since 2001 and more than $122.3 million in funding leveraged.
