OCHI - Resident Services

OCHI’s mission is about more than just housing, it is about making a positive impact in people’s lives. Many of our rental properties have on-site programs that further our mission by increasing residents’ access to resources of all kinds. The goal of OCHI’s Resident Services Department is to offer residents opportunities to 1) maintain or improve health and self-sufficiency, and 2) meet personal or family goals. A wide variety of services are offered to families, children, youth, seniors and people with disabilities.

Each property that participates in our Resident Services Program has a unique combination of programs and activities that may change according to residents’ interests and the resources that are available. The following are typical offerings:
