Stabilizing—and Transforming—Young Lives

CHD’s Youth Homelessness Programs provide more than just a safe haven. They also connect teens and young adults to community, health, education, and mental health services, as well as follow-up support to put them on a path to independence.

CHD continues its commitment to excellence by partnering once again with CARF International, an independent accreditor of human services organizations. CARF surveyors were onsite in the summer of 2024 and the result was CHD earning another three-year accreditation in Behavioral Health, Child and Youth Services, and Employment and Community Services.
