Affordable housing makes living on Sanibel possible for people who otherwise may not be able to, creates diversity on the island, and most importantly, gives a “hand up” to many deserving people.

CHR is funded through Grants, Residents' Rent, and Support & Donations from our generous community.

Resident Community Corner

The American Red Cross and CHR teamed up to ensure the safety of all our residents. Together, we successfully checked, replaced, or installed new smoke detectors!

We enjoy hearing about how CHR is a positive and life-changing experience for all of our residents and local businesses.

Second Job Reminder!

The CHR Board is providing an opportunity for our residents that supports the needs of our business community with the option to obtain a second job on Sanibel or at a Sanibel-based business located on Captiva. We have modified the CHR rental agreement to not incur an increase in rent from the income resulting from the second job. This allows our residents to grow their financial stability and support economic recovery for the businesses on the Island. 

Please note: To qualify for housing, CHR residents will need to maintain a full-time position on Sanibel Island or at a Sanibel Island-based business (unless otherwise stated in the resident's lease).
