Administered by the Keene Housing Authority, the Congregate Housing Services Program is available at two public housing sites. The CHSP provides a supportive residential environment that allows individuals, especially frail elders, to live independently, therefore avoiding premature or unnecessary nursing home placement. CHSP also supports deinstitutionalization, offering opportunities for elders and disabled adults to return to the community after an assisted living stay. Residents live in their own apartments and receive supportive services.

Good nutrition and socialization are important; the CHSP provides a nutritious midday meal served daily in a social setting. CHSP participants receive assistance obtaining transportation to and from medical appointments. Basic homemaking services and limited personal care assistance are arranged based on the individuals assessed need. CHSP also offers educational workshops and special social events throughout the year. Some events are made possible with the help of area college students and other community volunteers. A service coordinator monitors the program and provides case management.
