Our Mission

CHN has added more than 900 units of affordable housing to the landscape across Michigan, and we continue to actively seek opportunities to create high-quality residential rental homes.

In 2025, our Housing Resource Center (HRC) fielded 26,000 inquiries and assisted more than 18,000 Oakland County individuals facing homelessness and housing instability. Our caring Housing Navigators, Case Managers, and Housing Educators work one-on-one with individuals and families to find affordable housing, short-term and long-term rentals, homeownership options, and supportive and accessible homes for people with disabilities.

The Rapid Rehousing program helps vulnerable families coming from homelessness with a rental subsidy for up to 12 months. In 2025, we placed 315 people, more than half children, into homes.

We continued to be the largest permanent supportive housing provider in Oakland and Macomb counties, as well as offering services in Wayne County. CHN served 610 people, including 196 children, with leasing assistance and other essential support.

The Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program serves the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach people in Oakland and Macomb counties who are homeless and living on the streets. Our PATH Street Outreach team engaged 211 people experiencing homelessness, providing them with direct services or connecting them to other available resources.

Our Homeless Prevention services helped an additional 39 people – more than half children – with financial assistance or case management services.

Our certified Housing Counselors educated 291 households through workshops on credit, debt, budgeting, and tenant/homeowner rights and provided 25 households with one-on-one housing counseling.
