CHDC offers emergency lodging, meals, transportation and other services to farmworkers and others who find themselves homeless, and seasonal shelters for those who come into areas for harvest-time work. 

Several of CHDC's programs help those in need of help getting the treatment and support to become clean and sober. We provide alternative methods of dealing with misdemeanor crimes and the criminal justice system.

CHDC founded permanent, affordable housing in three counties  that feature apartments and single family homes for farmworker families and low-income seniors. 

We provide quality services for persons with disabilities that enable them to acquire skills and support in becoming self-sufficient and integrating into the local community.

Of ongoing importance to CHDC's mission is job training and placement for farmworkers. The corporation operates many programs that create opportunities for unemployed and under-employed people needing to improve job skills or gain new skills that lead to a better future for themselves and for their children.  

The corporation has become increasingly involved with other quality of life issues which are addressed through community education workshops and courses on subjects  such as substance abuse, smoking cessation, child abuse and domestic violence prevention, citizenship, immigration and vocational English .

 Looking to the future, the corporation and its board of directors are committed to maintaining and expanding the services currently available.
