The Cumberland County Housing First Collaborative (CCHFC) is a unique consortium of social service organizations, faith-based institutions, and government officials committed to tackling the problem of chronic homelessness in Cumberland County. The guiding agency of this collaborative is the M25 Initiative. The other partners of the collaborative include Gateway Community Action Partnership, PRAC of Southern New Jersey, Rural Development Corporation, Acenda Integrated Healthcare, Inspira Health, CompleteCare Health Network, Cumberland County Government & Correctional Facility, and Cumberland County Guidance Center.
As of September 2022, we have housed over 111 chronically homeless individuals since June 12, 2017. This was made possible with the support of New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Inspira Health Network, Ocean First Foundation, and the TD Charitable Foundation, along with countless community donors and volunteers. The Collaborative uses a comprehensive strategy to find homeless individuals permanent housing. Housing is be coupled with wrap-around services to keep them off the street and pointed toward fulfilling and productive lives. The Housing First Philosophy includes low barrier program admission criteria with no preconditions of treatment completion, sobriety and/or abstinence, clean criminal or credit history, and income. The Housing First Collaborative will seek to serve the hardest to serve the population that may have multiple barriers to obtaining and maintaining housing.
