What is CHESS?

Community House Extended Support Services, commonly abbreviated as CHESS, was established back in the year 2020 as a vital and essential extension of the well-known Community House on Broadway. This specialized program is wholeheartedly dedicated to providing a safe haven for homeless individuals who are medically fragile and may also face physical obstacles, particularly those who are elderly. CHESS is conveniently located directly across from PeaceHealth Hospital, making it easily accessible for those in need of assistance and care.Currently we have 19 rooms that can house up to 45 residents.
