CHOC Events

The Monarch Apartment Homes grand opening was everything we’d hoped it would be - for our organization, our residents, our partners and attendees. But, there was a beautiful, quiet moment right before our celebration began: the sight of a single Monarch butterfly floating through the agave, succulents, and desert plants now growing in the newly-constructed reflection garden.

Join us in celebrating the historic groundbreaking of the new Coachella affordable housing community, Placita Dolores Huerta, in honor of the globally-recognized social justice icon and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient.

Clear blue skies and a stunning desertscape welcomed attendees on October 28, 2021 to the historic groundbreaking of the Monarch Apartment Homes in Palm Springs this October, including government dignitaries, local neighbors, and members of CHOC board and staff.
