Overview

Mission

Community health partnership (chp) was founded in 1992 as a collaborative effort focused on improving coordination between local health care providers. Over the decades, the organization's work has expanded in response to community needs. (continued on schedule o)(continued)its mission is to transform the way people work together to solve complex issues that impact the health of those in the pikes peak region, such as homelessness, suicide prevention, and lgbtq+ health equity. Acting as a conduit and convener, chp brings together diverse individuals and organizations -including nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies - and equips them with the strategy, support, and skills needed to drive lasting change. Through fostering relationships, facilitating action, and building problem-solving pathways, chp helps people co-create solutions that lead to healthier, more resilient communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Homelessness: the pikes peak continuum of care (ppcoc) is a network of nonprofits, faith-based organizations, social service providers, healthcare organizations, local governments, and community advocates aligned with one common mission: to make homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring in the pikes peak region. Since 2002, the ppcoc has been a leader in serving and prioritizing funding for those experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness. Chp is the collaborative applicant for the ppcoc and helps lead the local strategic vision, prepares applications for federal funding, convenes community partners, manages data for the homeless management information system and coordinated entry program, and advocates for policies and best practices.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 71% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
