About us

Community Housing & Therapy (CHT) is a specialist mental health charity founded in 1994. Our seven communities in the South East offer a home, round-the-clock care, therapeutic support, skills training, and social activities for adults experiencing severe and complex mental distress and co-occurring conditions, such as substance use.

​

Our communities are Psychologically Informed Environments (PIEs) that aim to create spaces where people feel safer, listened to, and able to take part in community life.

 

Our therapeutic model bridges the gap between hospital and community, providing consistent, person-centred support over time. By prioritising social connection and purposeful activity, we support residents to rediscover what they want from life and realise their potential.

​

Our outcomes reflect this. Last year,

​​

• 42% of residents were engaged in employment, volunteering, or education, and

• 64% of those who moved on went to lower-support or independent living.
