MISSION
Community Housing Partnership (CHP) creates, implements and demonstrates solutions to homelessness by working in partnership with people in San Francisco who would otherwise be without a home. CHP develops and operates high quality permanent affordable housing, integrating optional support services, job training and community organizing. We strive to break the cycle of homelessness by strengthening community, encouraging self-determination and involving tenants in every aspect of the organization.
CORE VALUES
In addition to our mission, CHP's core values strongly influence the work we do each day.
Opportunity: We create opportunities for people to overcome homelessness and achieve their personal goals by focusing on housing retention, hiring people who were once homeless and providing learning opportunities to tenants and staff.

Participation: We work hard to make sure everyone involved with CHP has an opportunity to share their ideas and opinions. All tenants, staff and Board members are encouraged to help run CHP, especially line staff and those who have been homeless.
Community: We seek to build sustainable communities at all of our sites, develop leaders and maintain strong and caring relationships throughout our organization.
Self-Determination: We respect the rights of individuals to be who they are, make their own decisions and live their lives without fear of unfair judgment. Our commitment to harm reduction and voluntary services reflects this respect.
Activism: We work with our allies to create new solutions and policies that advance our mission and promote social justice, organizing around a variety of issues in recognition of the need for affordable housing, health care, living wage jobs and safe communities to truly end homelessness.
Spirit: We voice our opinions as we work for change, bringing energy, passion, creativity and commitment to everything that we do.
