Also, CVHC has built and/or rehabilitated 36 multi-family communities with over 3000 units built to house thousands of residents including: low income families, veterans, farmworkers, and senior residents.
Aside from constructing homes, CVHS continues providing a broad range of resident services including after school Kids Clubs, English as a Second Language, computer technology, gardening skills, health and nutrition, STEM Robotics, Tennis Camp, financial literacy, Mariachi Music Instruction, cultural dance instruction, college scholarships, and day care services, to name a few.
