Through years of working for and with housing authorities CHS has developed strategies to help PHAs deal with some of their most challenging developments. CHS staff and consultants have evaluated existing public housing developments through the use of a comprehensive PNA, Viability Analysis and Market Study to determine if the development is; viable, obsolete, or simply in need of modernization or conversion.

CHS provides a single point of contact for all of these strategic planning services. A significant benefit from this single source is that CHS integrates and coordinates all information to formulate an easily understandable strategic plan and communicates this information to staff and board members.

As with any business endeavor; a good plan is needed. CHS can assist PHA staff develop this plan and communicate it to stake holders.
