WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING SERVICES - AS PART OF THE WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT, WE PROVIDE JOB TRAINING AND PLACEMENT TO LOW-INCOME MIGRANT AND SEASONAL FARMWORKERS THROUGHOUT NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE PROVIDED THIS SERVICE SINCE 1975 AND HAVE PLACED THOUSANDS OF FARMWORKERS INTO PERMANENT, NON-SEASONAL JOBS. WE ALSO OPERATE THREE TRAINING CENTERS THAT PROVIDE HANDS-ON VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN AREAS SUCH AS TRUCK DRIVING, WELDING, AND CONSTRUCTION. OUR PRIMARY PARTNERS IN THIS EFFORT ARE THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, AMERICA'S JOB CENTER OF CALIFORNIA, LA COOPERATIVA CAMPESINA DE CALIFORNIA, THE MANY EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE OUR TRAINEES, AND NUMEROUS LOCAL NON-PROFIT AND PUBLIC PARTNERS THAT HELP ENSURE THAT OUR SERVICES ARE EFFECTIVE AND HOLISTIC. WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY THAT ALLOWS OUR CONSTRUCTION TRAINEES TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR SKILLS ON REAL JOBS THAT RESULT IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING TRAINING INITIATIVES THAT WILL HELP CUSTOMERS START THEIR OWN BUSINESSES INCLUDING MICROENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT. ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO HELP PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE, ENGAGED MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY. WE BEGIN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CONSUMERS BY ASKING WHAT EACH INDIVIDUAL DESIRES AND NEEDS; WE THEN DEVELOP A SUPPORT PLAN TO REACH THESE GOALS. WE ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS, AND WHERE RELEVANT THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, ARE FULLY ENGAGED AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN DEVELOPING PERSONALIZED CAREER PLANS THAT REFLECT THEIR VOCATIONAL INTERESTS. IN 1983, WE RECEIVED ONE OF THE FIRST EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT GRANTS VIA THE DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION IN CALIFORNIA. SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY PLACING LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS IN COMPETITIVE JOBS AND PROVIDING THEM ONGOING SUPPORT FOR SUCCESS. WE ALSO COLLABORATE WITH NORTH BAY REGIONAL CENTER, SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE, AND MANY LOCAL BUSINESSES TO HELP ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES REALIZE THEIR JOB ASPIRATIONS.

COMMUNITY SERVICES - THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION IS PRIMARILY FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT (CSBG), A PROGRAM DERIVED FROM THE FEDERAL 1964 WAR ON POVERTY PROGRAM. THE INTENT OF CSBG IS TO DEVELOP AND SUPPORT LOCAL INITIATIVES, TARGETING COMMUNITY NEEDS THAT ARE UNDER- REPRESENTED IN THE CURRENT DELIVERY SYSTEM WITHIN LOCAL COMMUNITIES. CHD'S COMMUNITY SERVICES DIVISION IS DEDICATED TO STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES AND HELPING OUR REGION'S AT-RISK RESIDENTS ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN SAFER, HEALTHIER, AND MORE PRODUCTIVE LIVES. THE DIVISION DELIVERS A NUMBER OF LOCALIZED AND UNIQUE SERVICES INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL AND OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAMS, NATURALIZATION AND CITIZENSHIP ASSISTANCE, AND LOCAL GRASS-ROOTS DAY LABOR CENTERS FOR UNDER-EMPLOYED WORKERS. ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS OFFER A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF TRADITIONALLY UNDER-SERVED FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. INNOVATIVE AND ESTABLISHED METHODS ARE UTILIZED TO DELIVER SERVICES THAT ENHANCE SOCIO-ECONOMIC OUTCOMES FOR FRAGILE COMMUNITIES.

HOUSING SERVICES - CHD OFFERS A RANGE OF HOUSING SERVICES FOCUSED ON PROVIDING A HOUSING CONTINUUM THAT LEADS FROM EMERGENCY SHELTER AND RESPITE HOUSING TO SUBSIDIZED RENTAL PROJECTS AND THEN ON TO HOME OWNERSHIP AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
