California Human Development (CHD) is dedicated to providing safe, decent, affordable housing for people with low income. We know this one act alone makes a huge difference in the fight against poverty—building stronger individuals, families, neighborhoods, and communities.

With CHD’s affordable housing, seniors spend their golden years living safely and with self respect; migrant farmworkers receive a warm meal and a bed to sleep in; people with disabilities live independently in homes designed to meet their needs; and the extremely poor, including the children of seasonal farmworkers, avoid the perils of homelessness.

CHD offers over 500 units of affordable housing in towns across Northern California, including Fairfield, Stockton, Yuba City, Napa, St Helena, and Calistoga. Accommodations range from: single-family houses with lawns and yards; one, two, three, and four bedroom townhomes and apartments; and dormitory-style living for seasonal farmworkers.

As a result, FLY increases safety and decreases the costs and consequences of crime.

The Folsom Cordova Community Partnership is a 501(c)3 community based non-profit. Our mission and vision support our work to: build strong families, meet the needs of struggling parents to increase self -sufficiency, promote youth development through positive peer and adult relationships and develop employment skills for individuals to achieve their career goals. We bring together resources and programming in a Family Resource Center and Job Center to create a “one-stop” experience, which encourages and supports families as they identify their own needs and reach their goals.  We recognize that each family has strengths and encourage each family to build on these strengths to solve their own challenges.

Guided by the highest expectations, Folsom Cordova Unified School District provides our students with a broad range of rigorous educational opportunities.  Staff enables students to reach their full potential and successfully meet the demands and opportunities of a highly technological 21st Century.

Students graduate with a core of knowledge and skills that become the building blocks for lifelong learning.  They graduate with a positive attitude and the leadership, character, and academic skills necessary to excel in a global arena.

Families are an integral part of the educational process.  In recognition of this important role, family involvement is actively sought, encouraged, and welcomed.

Business and community partnerships greatly enhance students' learning experiences and educational opportunities.  Partnerships offer students opportunities to apply their learning to real-world situations.

Schools serve as community hubs, places where the community gathers to celebrate and improve learning and to enjoy art, music, sports, public speaking, drama, and other school-related activities.  The use of school facilities by the community is encouraged.

School facilities are a reflection of the entire community.  We provide students with the educational tools to meet the technological demands of the future and the social skills to function in a culturally diverse society.
