Welcome to CHD

The Center for Human Development (CHD) was founded in 1972 on a philosophy of helping people in the community, a major departure from the prevailing system of placing people in institutions. Over thirty-six years later, the dedicated staff of CHD are still on the road, providing vital support to needy children, people with psychiatric and developmental disabilities, the elderly and the homeless.

Our Mission

The CENTER FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT (CHD) provides a broad range of high quality, community-oriented human services dedicated to promoting, enhancing and protecting the dignity and welfare of people in need.
