What Creating Housing Coalition does
Mission
To build safe, affordable, dignified housing for individuals facing homelessness in albany, oregon.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Creating Housing Coalition (chc) completed the construction of the hub city village (hcv), our first affordable tiny house development project in late 2024. It consists of 27 tiny house dwellings of approximately 200-300 square feet housing over 40 low income residents of all ages. It includes a resident center with a large gathering space, laundry room, and office space. Solar panels were added later in the same year to power the resident center and houses. The residents are required to volunteer 10 hours a month toward various responsibilities in managing the site and community. Our goal for 2025 is to help the hcv residents transition to a self-governing housing cooperative.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2022 to 2023, from $1.1M to $3.9M (+259%).
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: 2021 80% · 2022 10% · 2023 75% · 2024 41%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
87% of CREATING HOUSING COALITION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
