Welcome to Community Healing Coalition

At CHC, we help individuals and families affected by incarceration and trauma heal, restore relationships, and rebuild their futures. We believe every story can be transformed and we walk alongside you in that journey toward healing, forgiveness, and new life.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see men, women, children, families, and communities affected by mass incarceration and its systemic ripple effects such as foster care healed and made whole through the love of God.

Our Mission

Using evidence-based models, Community Healing Coalition (CHC) builds supportive community around currently and formerly incarcerated individuals and their families. Our mission is to foster resilience, encourage determination and perseverance, and create spaces of hope and healing. We believe that God is the one who does the true work. We are simply willing vessels.

Our Values

​At Community Healing Coalition, our work is shaped by deep, guiding values. We believe in unconditional love and positive regard toward all people, seeing each person as worthy of dignity and respect. We commit to clarity in our communication and transparency in all our operations, ensuring that those we serve and those who support us always know where we stand. 

We approach our programming with integrity and agility, adapting as needed to meet the real needs of individuals and families. We hold ourselves accountable in how we steward finances, understanding the trust placed in us.
Most of all, we seek authenticity in our faith which, at its heart, simply means loving God and loving people.
