Our name is Community & Home Supports, Inc. (CHS), and we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We’ve existed since 2008, and our focus is homeless services. Thank you for taking the time to visit our page!
Our service model incorporates the concept of Housing First and includes comprehensive assessment, case management, financial assistance, wraparound services, data collection and analysis, and advocacy. We're part of the Detroit Continuum of Care (CoC) https://www.handetroit.org/continuum-of-care-2, which is a network of local nonprofit and government organizations that work collectively to address our community's homeless problem. Within this network, we play two primary roles, which are Coordinated Entry and Permanent Housing.
Our Coordinated Entry program is a community partnership known as the Coordinated Assessment Model (CAM) https://camdetroit.org/get-help/. The CAM is the service entry point for people experiencing a housing crisis in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park. Our resource navigators engage with anyone reported to be living on the street or in shelter, perform a needs assessment, assist with acquiring vital documents and accessing requested services, and coordinate referrals to our CoC's permanent housing providers.
Our Permanent Housing program currently houses homeless households in locations of their choice throughout Southeast Michigan. This program employs case managers that conduct initial assessment, develop an Individualized Person-Centered Plan of Service and follow up, assist with housing search and inspection for housing quality, negotiate with landlords, ensure ongoing financial assistance, and provide or connect to wraparound services based on the unique needs of the individual and their household members.
