Supervised Community Residences

Adults who've been hospitalized or detained face many challenges when returning home. Our residential programs provide intensive support to help these men and women maintain a safe, stable living situation.

A variety of solutions for a variety of needs

People become homeless for a variety of reasons, including unemployment, mental illness, poverty, disabilities, domestic violence, and substance use issues. At CHD, we offer a range of programs that provide short- and long-term housing to those in need.

Supervised Living

Supervised apartments are designed for men with sexually problematic behaviors due to mental health or substance use issues.
