Operating budgets over  $1 million     $1040

Individual Members

Individual members receive CHRA member benefits but any organization they represent do not, unless that organization joins separately as a member.

We encourage executives to enlist their organizations rather than join as individual members so that all employees, volunteers, and clients of their organization benefit from membership.

*low income, retired, student, or under 30 years old.

Business Members

Business members are for-profit entities with an interest in the community housing sector.
