Permanent supportive housing: community housing network (chn) is a nonprofit housing company that develops, owns and manages permanent supportive housing dedicated to vulnerable populations including people with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and histories of homelessness. Since our beginning in 1987, chn's permanent supportive housing program has proven that vulnerable populations can live successfully in the community when their housing is connected to appropriate supportive services. Chn's housing allows residents to live stably, which in turn has positive effects on their health, productivity and connection to the community. In addition, once stably housed, chn's residents use fewer costly community resources like emergency health care and homeless shelters, generating significant cost savings to public systems. Today, chn provides over 1,600 permanent supportive housing units and is an integral part our community's effort to improve the lives of our most vulnerable citizens.chn provides all residents with a rent subsidy to ensure our housing is affordable, as well as safe, dependable, and well maintained. Chn also offers a continuum of supportive housing…

As a real estate developer, chn acquires property, obtains zoning approvals, assembles financing and oversees projects through concept, design, engineering, bidding and construction phases. Developments include both new construction and acquisition and renovation of existing buildings. Chn uses many funding sources to develop its housing, including lowincome housing tax credits, tax-exempt bonds, state and local funding, and philanthropic grants.chn also uses the development process to form longterm neighborhood connections through its community acceptance approach. Chn proactively forms community advisory councils prior developing property to inform neighbors about chn and its housing models. Chn also solicits neighborhood input into the housing's design and operations. By offering a forum for ongoing communication, these councils provide the longterm relationships that connect chn and our future residents to our neighborhoods.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $62M to $79M (+27%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 80% · 2018 81% · 2019 74% · 2020 70% · 2021 64% · 2022 61% · 2023 60% · 2024 41%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
55% of COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 8 funders, grant income fell $6.3M → $2.8M.
2 of 18 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 3% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 94% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 99% · 2018 99% · 2019 99% · 2020 97% · 2021 88% · 2022 85% · 2023 85% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
63% of COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
100% of COMMUNITY HOUSING NETWORK INC's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
