CHOC Community Impact

CHOC’s Community Impact programs are responsive to the unique needs of residents at every one of our communities. CHOC strives to empower residents to improve their quality of life, build better lifestyles and meet respective property residency requirements.

CHOC Services designs programs to meet every property’s unique needs, based upon community findings and an official Health and Community Assessment. This assessment examines a community’s respective employment, financial management/budgeting, social services, educational, community service, recreational and crisis needs. This results in on-site programs and activities that are tailored to meet broad resident interest, as well as the immediate needs of each property’s residents.

CHOC is human-centric, working with youth, families and seniors to create an environment of trust and possibility.

Family Services

CHOC’s Family Services Program is responsive to the unique needs of our working families. Community connection is critical to delivering the most effective and relevant services; CHOC Service Coordinators facilitate resident meetings, support groups and invited speakers on topics such as health education, parenting, substance abuse, tax services, financial literacy, and family wellness. Monthly activities include movie nights, bingo, seasonal/cultural celebrations and potluck dinners. Volunteer opportunities are also available via after-school enrichment programs, computer labs, monthly youth/adult/family activities and special events like Family Wellness Fairs.

Youth Services

CHOC’s After-School Enrichment programs are conducted in a classroom-style setting, emphasizing rules, boundaries, homework and computer literacy. These programs also impart communication skills, cooperation and esteem-building through individual tutoring, crafts, games and other recreational activities. After-school enrichment programs are facilitated by youth and family services assistants and America Reads Federal Work Study students from California State University, Sacramento.

Senior Services

CHOC Senior Services addresses the unique needs of elder residents at all CHOC communities. Community Impact Coordinators assist CHOC’s senior residents across the spheres of financial counseling, taxes, food insecurity, health and wellness, transportation, employment, mental wellness, emergency planning, healthcare and more.

Additional Services

Additional resident community services and support may include on-site emergency food banks, clothes exchange programs, summer lunch programs, resume workshops, and job referral programs. Our Coordinators continually work to develop and enhance critical community relationships with local service providers and community-based organizations and partners, making appropriate referrals to public and private agencies within the local service area whenever necessary.

CHOC’s approach is helping one family at a time, encouraging greater personal aspiration and achievement.

How We Work

Each CHOC Community Impact Coordinator has established office hours, provides necessary referrals/follow-up to ensure each household maintains good community standing and they meet with residents, families and property management staff to design a plan for success. Coordinators also provide resident conflict resolution and advise residents of problems and behaviors that may put housing and/or residency at risk. The Community Impact Program celebrates the success of residents and families when they achieve their goals; our goal is to help families along a healthy continuum, from crisis and chaos to safety, stability and self-sufficiency, by working with family, youth and senior services and other supportive service agencies.
