RESCUE A HOUSE. RESTORE A COMMUNITY. BUILD SOMETHING THAT MATTERS.
Let's go!
Join Community Habitat Programs Contractor Network
Community Habitat Programs Inc. (CHP) is calling on contractors, tradespeople, service companies, and skilled professionals who believe successful businesses can do more than generate profit—they can help strengthen families, restore homes, and rebuild communities.
CHP invites qualified contractors and service providers to add their companies to our Community Contractor Network, a roster of businesses willing to provide services to eligible CHP clients at discounted rates or, when possible, on a pro-bono basis.
Our goal is to build a network of responsible businesses that understand that profitability and community service can work together.
How the CHP Contractor Network Works
CHP clients referred to participating contractors will receive a CHP Client Qualification Code identifying the level of assistance for which the client has qualified.
Depending upon the client's circumstances and CHP program eligibility, a referral may be designated for:
-
Pro-bono service
-
Deeply discounted service
-
Reduced-rate service
-
Standard or negotiated paid service
Participation does not require a contractor to accept every referral.
Contractors maintain full discretion to review each service request and determine whether they have the availability, capacity, and financial ability to accept the project.
A contractor may accept or decline any CHP referral based on the scope of work, scheduling, resources required, the client's ability to pay, and the contractor's ability to provide discounted or donated assistance.
Why Join CHP?
Becoming a CHP Community Contractor allows your company to demonstrate that doing good business and doing good in the community do not have to be competing goals.
Participating contractors may benefit from:
New Client Referrals
Gain access to homeowners, residents, property owners, nonprofit projects, and community-development opportunities referred through CHP programs.
Community Visibility
Build your reputation as a company committed to responsible business practices and meaningful neighborhood investment.
Preferred Contractor Opportunities
CHP intends to build long-term relationships with contractors who demonstrate quality workmanship, reliability, fair pricing, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to serving the community.
A Balanced Business Relationship
CHP recognizes that contractors must remain profitable. Our objective is not to ask contractors to work for free on every project. Instead, we seek businesses willing to balance profitable contracting opportunities with periodic discounted or pro-bono community service.
Potential Charitable Tax Benefits
CHP is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity. Contractors should consult their tax professionals regarding deductions that may be available for qualifying unreimbursed expenses, donated materials, or other eligible charitable contributions associated with their service. The value of donated professional time or services generally is not itself deductible under IRS charitable-contribution rules.

Profit With Purpose
CHP believes community revitalization requires strong nonprofit organizations and strong local businesses.
For that reason, CHP will seek to award paid contracting opportunities to businesses that demonstrate a meaningful commitment to our charitable mission.
When selecting contractors for available CHP projects, we intend to give favorable consideration—consistent with project requirements, qualifications, pricing, funding rules, procurement requirements, and applicable law—to contractors that demonstrate a responsible balance between profitable work and community-benefit service.
Your willingness to help one family today can position your company to become a trusted partner on larger opportunities tomorrow.
