“Housing projects like Creekside Place play a critical role in addressing Chico’s need for affordable housing. This project is a great example of how smart planning and investment in housing can enhance our city’s livability and long-term growth," said Brendan Vieg. Director of Community Development for the City of Chico.

 

The Creekside Place Apartments were made possible through funding from the City of Chico’s CDBG and HOME funding, as well as the City’s Affordable Housing Fund, State of California and Butte County’s No Place Like Homeprogram funds, and Disaster Recovery low-income housing tax credits. The project also includes 100 project-based housing vouchers through the Housing Authority of the Couty of Butte. It represents a collaborative effort between the City and the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) to create a long-lasting asset for the community. 

 

Resident services are crucial to Creekside Place’s mission of creating a supportive and stable environment for its tenants. Financial contributions are always welcomed to help fund programs, purchase household goods, and maintain services, including: 

 

These programs are supported by CalFresh nutrition classes, North Valley Catholic Social Services, University of California Cooperative Extension, Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services, and Adult Protective Services.

 

Members of the Creekside Place community can also get involved by volunteering or teaching classes to enrich residents’ lives. 

 

"We created an incredible asset that will be around for decades to come to serve seniors, and from the resident's perspective, they have a quality place to call home that they can afford," said Mark Montgomery, CHIP
