Community Housing Improvement Program, Inc.

As we near the end of NeighborWorks Weeks, CHIP is honoring the power of community and the spaces that help families thrive long after disaster. During the 2018 Camp Fire, Paradise Community Village—a place many families called home—was destroyed, displacing over 80 residents.

But this community didn’t stay gone for long. In true Paradise spirit, it was rebuilt, and in 2021, residents returned home to a renewed 36-unit apartment community! Today, spaces like this community garden are a reflection of that resilience. Here, residents cultivate fresh food, relationships, wellness, and a sense of belonging. 🌿
