Our Vision: A world community where people respect, love and care for themselves and one another.
Our Mission: To provide our neighbors on Cape Cod and the Islands with an affordable, supportive home where each person may move towards his or her full potential.
Our History: Paul and Carolyn Hebert founded the Housing For All Corporation in 1988 to better aid their fellow Cape Codders who had nowhere to sleep on cold winter nights but the streets of Hyannis. "How can we enjoy our cozy bed while someone is huddled in a doorway?" asked Carolyn. While working full time as a chef to support his wife and three daughters, Paul, with Carolyn's help, envisioned and manifested the NOAH Shelter, the Miracle Kitchen, Gleaners Second Harvest and the Day Star Place.
These wondrous deeds caught the attention of Alice O'Neil, who implored Paul to do more good works, and generously offered her resources to bolster the efforts. The Heberts took the next step in faith and opened CHAMP House in 1991, which was to be home to those who had come to be without.
Our Present: Over the years, CHAMP House has evolved to become four CHAMP Homes and provides affordable, supportive family-style living to a co-ed inter-generational forty-five member family. We have served over 1,300 individuals and continue to offer flexible, personal care to those with no other housing resources available. Our Family Members are those who are willing to be a part of the CHAMP Community and work towards educational, employment and personal goals. Some stay a short while to get back on their feet, others become long-term CHAMPs.
Our funding comes from CHAMP Community Fees, Private Donations, Fundraising Events, Grants and the Support of Foundations.
