Overview
Mission
Church Housing Corp provides housing and supportive services for people with special needs, families, individuals, and seniors with modest means. There is no set time frame for the length of stay. The goal of the program is to support each resident in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing. This journey looks different for each person. If I already have a traveling voucher from the Housing Authority, will you accept it?" If you already have a voucher we would be unable to accept it becuase each unit comes with its own funding already. Kathryn Evans receives the Women of Achievement Award! The March of Dimes honored four women from Chester County in its 30th Annual Salute to Women of Achievement. All four honorees have made Chester County a better place to live and work while raising funds for the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies. (October 2019) Contact Us ©...

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
