OUR SERVICES: GETTING YOUTH (LIKE LUKE) BACK ON THEIR FEET
STREET OUTREACH
EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT
Our Street Outreach teams in Los Angeles and the Bay Area actively seek out
young people experiencing homelessness who may need help. The team assists
with critical safety needs by providing transportation to a safe shelter. Young
people living on the streets can receive, food, water, hygiene kits, warm clothing,
blankets, counseling and referrals to needed services such as medical care and
employment and education services. Most importantly, our Street Outreach
Program shows youth that they are cared for, and worth being pursued.
SHELTER CARE
Youth receive a nutritious meal, take a hot shower, receive hygiene products, and
get new clothing and shoes. They can request and receive medical and mental
health services, case management services, and take part in the education and
employment program.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
RIGHTS OF PASSAGE
Our two-year transitional housing program allows young people to live on
campus and refine their independent living skills. They learn to save money and
budget to pay rent, utilities and other necessities.
SUPPORTIVE APARTMENT PROGRAM
Youth with a higher level of life skills are placed into our Supportive Apartment
program, which provides financial assistance to youth living in off-campus
apartments. During their stay, CHC provides an ever-lowering percentage of
their rent until they are paying the full amount.
HOPE2OPPORTUNITY (H20)
H20 is our Rapid Re-Housing program which features short-term housing
assistance along with all of CHC’s supportive services. Case managers work with
youth and local landlords to find appropriate apartments, then assist youth with
move-in costs, rental assistance and weekly case management to ensure
We provide all residents with comprehensive educational services,
including a Charter High School (5Keys) in LA, GED and High School
diploma prep, and college application assistance at all sites. We provide
job prep and connections with local employers in the community. In 2017,
we opened Precise Barber College in LA.
HEALTH CARE
Los Angeles and Bay Area residents can receive physical exams,
urgent care, immunizations and TB screenings at our on-site health
clinics. CHC also provides treatment for chronic health issues, HIV/STD
counseling, and helps youth apply for Medi-Cal.
MENTAL HEALTH AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE SUPPORT
CHC provides valuable mental health services and substance abuse
support for youth experiencing homelessness. Services are provided
by both Licensed LCSWs or MFTs, as well as LCSW and MFT interns.
AFTER CARE
Our youth will always a part of our family. After they move out on their
own, CHC continues to provide case management support, financial
assistance, if needed, counseling, warm meals, and alumni support
groups.
