Welcome to your CHN Housing Partners Appointment Scheduler

To Schedule a Crisis Appointment 

Appointment scheduling is reserved for applicants who have a valid PRC voucher issued by the County, or for whose services have been turned off, or are in disconnect status.  Crisis appointments fill quickly.  If you are unable to secure an appointment at this time, please note that new appointments open each day beginning at 8 am and stagger throughout the day to provide optimal opportunity for scheduling.

If your services are on and you do not have a disconnect notice, or you are a first-time applicant, please review the reverifications section below.

Please note: The Winter Crisis Program ended on March 31, 2023.  We do not have funding assistance for gas at this time (Dominion and Columbia).  Funding for gas will resume during the next Winter Crisis Program, November 1, 2023. Available funding is currently limited to Fuel Fund (CEI/Illuminating Co.) Summer Crisis Program funding (CPP) and LIHWAP (water/sewer). No utility holds will be placed on gas/electric accounts at this time.
