On April 17, 2008, Community Housing Partnership (CHP) and Mercy Housing California (MHC) hosted the Essex Grand Opening. Project partners, staff and tenants were joined by Mayor Gavin Newsom in celebrating the building as a solution to homelessness. Citi Community Capital and Enterprise sponsored the event.

New CHP Building, the Essex, Opens!

The Essex is now fully occupied! In only 16 days, we helped 84 people move from shelters or the streets to their new homes. Community Housing Partnership recently completed the rehabilitation of the building, transforming it into affordable apartments for formerly homeless individuals. CHP’s dedicated staff worked together to make sure that our new tenants would be able to settle into their homes as quickly as possible after the building opened. Already, the Essex is a lively community!


Grand Opening Celebration on Treasure Island

To celebrate the opening of 42 new units of family housing on Treasure Island CHP, with the Treasure Island Homeless Development Initiative, and partner agencies Walden House and Catholic Charities CYO, hosted an opening party on the island.


Arnett Watson Apartments Construction Event

To celebrate the construction of Arnett Watson Apartments, CHP held a reception at the Bambuddha Lounge with our development partner, Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC). When complete, the building will become an 83 unit building for formerly homeless individuals and families that CHP will own and operate.
