Helping Prevent Homelessness
PreventingCapeHomelessness.org  

We aim to prevent homelessness before it occurs, in Chatham and surrounding communities ... from Harwich up to Provincetown.

If you are struggling to pay your rent, your mortgage, or your energy bills, or you are on the brink of losing your home, we can help.

We offer emergency funds for those facing housing challenges.

For over 30 years, CECH has raised and distributed over $1.6 million to some 1,600 struggling families and individuals to help them remain in their homes. For instance …

One member of a senior couple was disabled and the other had to stop working to take over caregiving. We provided $2,400 for the mortgage.

A husband and wife with three children were laid off from their jobs. We paid $2,100 for the rent.

A veteran and spouse lost their apartment because the landlord sold the property. We offered $3,000 in emergency aid.
