CHN operates one of the region’s highest-capacity Community Training Centers (CTC), working with individuals to manage and grow personal finances, enhance employment skills, and prepare families to purchase, manage and build equity in their homes.
The CTC is a HUD-approved counseling center operating with 7 housing counselors (including a social worker) certified in homeownership and foreclosure prevention counseling. We are one of the highest-producing members of the Housing Partnership Network (HPN), a network of the nation’s top housing counseling agencies.
Each year, the CTC provides counseling and education free of charge to more than 2,000 individuals in the areas of:
- Homeownership (pre/post)
- Personal Finance Management

- GED Preparation (a Tri-C site)
The Community Training Center also manages CHN’s free
tax preparation services and
Foreclosure Prevention assistance.
The CTC is open from 9 a.m.-8 p.m., offers weekend hours, a computer lab, classroom and private counseling areas. Counseling is offered in English, Spanish and Thai. All services are free of charge through the generous support of our funders.
