HCHC properties service a wide range of disadvantaged segments
of our community.
Disadvantaged Families
The majority of HCHC's affordable housing goes to low-income families,
some of whom are immigrants. Their incomes are usually less than
50% of the area median income and some
under 35% AMI. HCHC's Community Developer and Resident Services
Coordinators work with our residents to provide programming stimulating
to adults and children alike, including games, art classes, field
trips, computer training, English language classes, parenting
and financial literacy workshops and after school child care.
The (Formerly) Homeless
Many of HCHC's residents were formerly homeless, having previously
lived in shelters, transitional living facilities or on the streets.
People with HIV/AIDS
HCHC provides housing for low-income and formerly homeless households
living with HIV/AIDS.
Disabled
HCHC designs its buildings with the physically disabled in mind.
For example, common areas are wheelchair accessible and many buildings
contain special apartments with lowered counters and larger bathrooms
to accommodate the needs of disabled individuals.
Senior Citizens
Senior citizens live in HCHC's affordable housing buildings and
make up an important part of our community. One of these buildings,
the Werner Illing House, is exclusively set aside for residents
over the age of 62. The rest are open to people of all ages.
