A MESSAGE FROM CHAI’S PRESIDENT AND CEO
Melissa K. PetersPresident
Lisa K. Budlow Chief Executive Officer
Every day at CHAI, a team of dedicated professionals works hard to make our corner of the world a stronger, better community in which to live, learn and grow older. Leading and guiding this team is CHAI’s active, committed board – a team of experts who give of their time and talent to steer the agency’s work and maximize outcomes. The work we do at CHAI brings neighbors together to support and understand one another and provides safety, purpose and connection to adults growing older in our community. We are invested, and our work spurs investment in the stability, development and growth of northwest Baltimore.
You know Comprehensive Housing Assistance, Inc. by its acronym, CHAI. The Hebrew word chai means life. Our vision is that life in northwest Baltimore is a connected and supported life, with school children getting the support they need to thrive, families getting the support they need to purchase a home, neighbors coming together to beautify their block, and seniors living in a safe home and connecting with friends and family. This is what makes a Strong Community for Life. In Hebrew, chai is spelled chet-yud, the eighth and tenth letters of the alphabet; thus, 18 is the symbol of life. This year, as CHAI celebrates its 36th anniversary, we are double chai - double life - double strength.
Looking back at FY19, we reflect on a year of change and growth. We have an active pipeline of housing development projects that include building opportunities for both rental and homeownership for families and seniors. Through CHAI’s loan program, we have $2 million in principal outstanding to over 300 borrowers who are using this capital to purchase, renovate and add energy upgrades to their homes in our service area. We continue to deliver peace of mind and safe space to older homeowners through our home repair program, recently expanded to include Pikesville. Innovative programs such as the Myerberg Center’s Tech-Knowledge Hub, Aging Mastery and brain health classes inspire seniors to live active, engaged lives; and our volunteer transportation program, the newly branded CHAIway, is helping seniors get to where they need to go, enjoying friendly conversation along the way. Across the broader community, we are proud to have partnered with LifeBridge Health and Park Heights Renaissance to create the Northwest Baltimore Partnership, a collaborative of agencies working together to build value and spark investment in northwest Baltimore.
As we gaze ahead to FY20, we plan to focus on increasing CHAI’s impact in the community. We look forward to continuing our work, guided by the fundamental Jewish values of repairing the world, building community and supporting our neighbors to live lives of dignity and purpose. We are grateful to The Associated, our sister agencies, and our funders for their partnership in this sacred work. As we celebrate our double chai anniversary, may CHAI go from strength to strength.
