After opening our first crisis homeless shelter in 2011, the CCHC now serves the homeless population of sixteen counties in and around Clark County. We are among several organizations in Kentucky that serve those experiencing homelessness, offering support that ranges from meeting basic needs through street outreach to connecting people with temporary shelter and permanent housing solutions.

Through our programs, we work to provide a supportive atmosphere where accountability and compassion go hand in hand. Our residents are encouraged to gain additional skills required to save money and plan their future plans.
