CHOC Community Impact

CHOC Community Impact champions an equity-first, community-centered approach that empowers youth and families, strengthens neighborhoods, and builds collaborative partnerships to improve quality of life for very low- to moderate-income households. Every program is shaped by the needs and voices of residents in CHOC’s affordable housing communities.

CHOC Impact supports residents in building long-term stability, improving quality of life, and meeting property residency requirements through accessible, relevant services. Programs begin with a comprehensive Health and Community Assessment that evaluates local needs in employment, financial management, social services, education, engagement, recreation, and crisis support. 

These insights inform tailored, on-site programs that reflect resident interests and urgent community needs—creating a responsive, holistic service model that helps families thrive and strengthens every CHOC community.

Community Impact Programs

CHOC Community Impact supports residents across all life stages through integrated, community-driven services that strengthen stability and opportunity. 

● Working families receive support through expert-led programs focused on health education, parenting, substance abuse prevention, tax assistance, financial literacy, and family wellness. 

● Resident youth benefit from structured after-school enrichment emphasizing academic support, computer skills, communication, and confidence-building activities. 

● Seniors receive personalized, dignified assistance navigating financial counseling, food access, health and wellness, transportation, employment resources, mental health, emergency planning, and healthcare access. 

● CHOC residents also benefit from on-site food banks, clothing exchanges, summer meal programs, résumé workshops, and job referrals—delivered through strong partnerships with local service providers to promote long-term community well-being.

CHOC’s approach is helping one family at a time, encouraging greater personal aspiration and achievement.

How We Work

Each CHOC Community Impact Coordinator has established office hours, provides necessary referrals/follow-up to ensure each household maintains good community standing and they meet with residents, families and property management staff to design a plan for success. Coordinators also provide resident conflict resolution and advise residents of problems and behaviors that may put housing and/or residency at risk. The Community Impact Program celebrates the success of residents and families when they achieve their goals; our goal is to help families along a healthy continuum, from crisis and chaos to safety, stability and self-sufficiency, by working with family, youth and senior services and other supportive service agencies.
