About Us

The City of Harrisonburg’s Comprehensive Housing Survey of 2020 showed that Harrisonburg has a severe housing shortage, most extreme among the lowest income bracket (<30% AMI)

CHHD aims to address unmet rental housing needs in Harrisonburg

Since 2012, our services have focused on purchasing, renovating, and managing rental properties where very low-income people with histories of homelessness and disabilities, as well as immigrant families, can find and maintain affordable, stable housing. CHHD uses a sliding scale for rent and provides rental residents with case management and referrals to other community services, to enable them to maintain rental housing. CHHD fills an important gap in the Harrisonburg housing market, by supporting housing for the lowest income people in our community.
