Serving Those in Need

CHEP operates two supportive housing programs for homeless veterans in Maryland and South Carolina, along with a permanent housing project in Washington, DC.

Our housing initiatives are designed to foster independence and long-term stability, providing veterans with the opportunity to focus on skill development, employment, financial security, mental health, and substance use recovery. Each step of the journey is supported by our dedicated team of program managers, case workers, and support staff, ensuring compassionate, personalized care.

Beyond veteran housing and support services, CHEP strengthens local communities through food banks, school partnerships, and volunteer initiatives, creating lasting impact and hope for those in need.

Perryville, MD

The Veterans Independence Project (VIP) located on the Perry Point Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus has provided immediate housing and supportive services to homeless veterans. With the capacity to house 29 Veterans, the convenient location offers veterans easy access to VA services.

Washington D.C.

CHEP DC Vets collaborates with regional partners to focus on equitable housing for veterans experiencing chronic homelessness, giving primary attention to strategies that maximize and optimize resources required to maintain and stabilize housing access and retention for a highly vulnerable population. 

Charleston, SC

Charleston Vets can house up to 35 veterans in apartments that allow veterans to live independently with responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning, washing, and caretaking. The Charleston Vets program encourages residents to work together as a group and share responsibilities for community living.

Freedom House provides individual housing to 5 additional veterans within the Charleston Vets community, offering a continuum of care to support veterans in recovery and skill development.

Participants must pay market-rate rent, create a budget, maintain employment or financial support, be self-sufficient, and remain substance-free.
