Our community does not currently have the housing stock necessary at the pricing required to meet the needs of its workers.
The demand for workforce housing in our community is not being met by the private sector. There are several private developers producing an estimated 1,000 homes each year that would fall under the category of workforce housing, priced below $160,000.
CHI looks for opportunities to increase the housing stock for low-to-moderate income individuals and families.
CHI is EarthCraft® certified and addresses energy efficiency in the pre-build/design phase of each project. Building plans consider site conditions and window orientation to help lower heating bills in the wintertime and keep the home cool in summer. Design plans also consider the type of HVAC unit, its location and duct layout to save costs as well.
CHI incorporates effective waste management plans to reduce landfill tipping fees, lower hauling & labor costs and help the environment. This is accomplished by recycling building waste materials and transforming them into useful products such as mulch for erosion control, soil amendment, landscape material and road base..
