Cooperative Home Care
Associates (CHCA) is a Bronx-based, worker-owned home healthcare provider. B
The Change Magazine recently wrote that CHCA has, “tackled one of the
toughest jobs in America. It provides home health care for low-income urban
clients. To do that well, it has to recruit and train about 600 health care
workers every year from a community plagued by multigenerational unemployment.
CHCA sends those workers into homes to attend to elderly and seriously ill
clients, and then secures payment through the labyrinthine and often
frustrating public agencies that serve the poor.” CHCA continues to focus on
providing over twice the legal required training to candidates to provide a
positive impact on their community. Their results are seen in their B
Corp Assessment, where they tallied high scores in both the workers
and community sections.
CHCA continues to grow and has expanded to include pilot
programs located right here in Brooklyn for affordable home health care and
also with cleaning services.
