"During uncertain times, it can be difficult to find bright moments in the darkness. As I reflect on what we accomplished together to achieve our mission, I feel gratitude and hope for the future." - Sean Spear, President & CEO Read CHW's Year in Review: http://bit.ly/CHWYearInReview2020

CHW wishes you all healthy and happy holiday season and a joyful new year!

CHW festivities are continuing at CHW communities, including our Maplewood, Las Serenas, and Mayberry communities. Community Building Coordinators have made this season special by sharing gifts with Study Stars students.

CHW was nominated to receive a 2020 grant from NorthMarq’s Community Involvement program. NorthMarq’s donation will help ensure that all children in CHW homes have access to individual and small group tutoring so they do not get left behind. https://www.northmarq.com/northmarqs-san-diego-office-pres/

The statewide shift to remote learning widens the academic achievement gap for children in households with low incomes. We're continuing to raise money to help pivot our Study Stars after school program for remote learning. Give now at https://app.mobilecause.com/form/JYYvPQ?vid=ebgo1 #BringLearningHome

The Kimball Highland Master Plan proposed by CHW in partnership with San Ysidro Health is moving forward with approval from National City's City Council. The plan will integrate affordable intergenerational homes, healthcare, and amenities in downtown National City. Learn more: https://fox5sandiego.com//plans-move-ahead-for-national-c/

Voting Yes on Measure A will address the housing crisis in San Diego. San Diego has failed to build enough homes to keep pace with demand. If approved, Homes for San Diegans will provide up to 7,500 much needed affordable homes for those most in need. https://yesonasandiego.org/
