CHUM has been a major safety net for the homeless and hungry in the Duluth community for over 38 years.

  • CHUM's Permanent Supportive Housing program, provides affordable housing to families who have been cronically homeless.
  • CHUM Housing Advocate helps people find affordable housing.
  •  
  •  

A family of four on the verge of entering a family shelter was redirected towards affordable housing with the guidance and help of CHUM staff.

Jolien, her husband, Jeff, and their children were able to meet with CHUM family housing advocate, finding affordable housing at CHUM’s permanent supportive housing facility, RUAH (Rehabilitated Urban Affordable Housing).

Jolien, a mother of three, is a busy mom. She was a student studying Special Education until she found employment. Jolien has since been promoted to assistant manager. Veronica Gaidelis—Langer, CHUM supportive housing advocate, walked with Jolien as she advocated at the children’s schools, started college, and when their medical assistance was eliminated. Since 2008, Veronica has assisted Jolien in advocating for her family to obtain services from area agencies that have helped them remain together and at RUAH.

Jolien said, “I love you guys, wonderful, great. Thank you. Can’t express gratitude for all you have done for us.”

    CHUM has a wonderful quote from Thielard de Chardin on their wall, and they live it to the fullest: May the Lord preserve in me a burning love for the world and a great gentleness. May he help me to persevere to the end in the fullness of humanity.
