Community Housing Coalition (CHC) of Madison County is a community-based nonprofit and empowerment agency committed to helping neighbors stay safe, stable, and rooted in their homes. For more than 20 years, we have partnered with low-income Madison County residents to address urgent home repairs and advance healthy, safe, and affordable housing through advocacy, education, and resource development.
Serving Our Neighbors
One in four Madison County residents is living in housing that is no longer safe or stable. Many are homeowners doing their best to keep up with repairs while managing limited or fixed incomes.
When neighbors come to CHC for assistance we look at the whole pictureβurgency, income eligibility, repair needs, and the circumstances behind them. Most households we serve are facing multiple critical repairs, often older adults, people with disabilities, and neighbors living on
very limited incomes. Our focus is simple: stabilizing homes so people can remain safe and rooted in their community.
Serving Our Neighbors
Approximately 25% of the Madison County, NC population lives in substandard housing – often residents who own their home but struggle to manage the costs of ownership and general maintenance.
Applicants who request home repair assistance from CHC are assessed for urgency of need, income eligibility, scope of repairs necessary and a holistic overview of circumstances that may be causes of their need. The average CHC client has at least three major home repair needs. Two thirds of our clients are adults over 62 years of age. About one third are people with disabilities. All are living on very limited incomes generally considered very low, as defined by HUD.
