Critical Housing Opportunities Program (CHOP)

• The Critical Housing Opportunities Program (CHOP) was created in November 2009 with direct funding from the City of Longmont City Council to address identified service gaps for the winter sheltering season by providing 4 months of temporary housing subsidies and case management for 10 households in Longmont
• For more details, see 2009-2010 CHOP Final Report
• City funding report: 2009-2010 Gap Funding for Winter Sheltering Programs
• Based on the success of CHOP in the 2009-2010 winter season, plans have been laid for a similar, and possibly broader program for the 2010-2011 winter season.
