Creating Homes Initiative (CHI)
The original goal of this initiative was to create 2005 new or improved permanent housing options for Tennesseans with mental illnesses and cooccurring disorders by the year 2005. That goal was achieved in the fall of 2002, and a new goal of 4010 by 2005 was developed. That goal was reached, and now the ongoing goal is to create 1,100 new or improved permanent housing options each year. Working with local community housing developers and other stakeholders in partnership with seven Regional Housing Facilitators, the program has leveraged to date more than $101 million in federal, state, local, public, private, traditional and non-traditional funding sources and successfully created more than 4,600 permanent, safe, affordable, quality permanent housing options for Tennesseans diagnosed with mental illness and co-occurring disorders. VisionTo create and expand affordable, safe, permanent and quality housing options in local communities for people with mental illness in Tennessee. MissionTo assertively and strategically partner with local communities to educate, inform and expand quality, safe, affordable and permanent housing options for people with mental illness.
