🎉 to NeighborWorks Week 2025! 🎉
Last year, we brought together residents from La Vista Verde, Shotover Inn, Rancho De Soto, and Las Palmas Apartments for a day full of connection, creativity, and community 💚🏘️

From kids designing their dream homes to water balloon games, these are the moments that remind us what NeighborWorks Week is all about—coming together and celebrating the places we call home.

We also shared great food, refreshing aguas frescas, and a little extra fun with raffles and activities that brought neighbors closer together 🎟️🌮🥤

✨ Huge thanks to the community members and partners who made it all possible: Flor de Maiz, Level Up NorCal, and our incredible residents and Resident Services team who showed up, supported one another, and made the day unforgettable 🙌

As we get ready for this year’s NeighborWorks Week, we’re carrying forward these same moments of joy, connection, and community pride. Stay tuned—a celebration is on the way!🎉

✨ During NeighborWorks Weeks 2026, we’re celebrating the people and partnerships that make communities like Orland Park Estates possible. This national event highlights how affordable homeownership creates stability, builds financial strength, and brings neighbors together.

🏡 Did you know? Orland Park Estates is a 64-home self-help subdivision in Orland, CA, where families are working side-by-side to build their own homes—and their futures.

Through CHIP’s Self-Help Housing program:
🔨 Participants contribute labor to build their homes together
🔑 No down payment is required
🏠 Homes include 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom options designed for growing families

For more than 50 years, CHIP has been creating opportunities for families across Northern California, and we’re proud to continue that work alongside our community, local leaders, and organizations like USDA Rural Development and NeighborWorks America.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special, including our Resident Services Coordinator, Estevan.

Moments like these highlight what NeighborWorks Week is all about—bringing people together and strengthening the communities we call home. Here’s to many more memories at the pool this summer for this community! ☀️

How it’s going 🌱✨ ➡️ How it started

At Brickyard Creek Apartments in Red Bluff, something beautiful has taken root! What began as a simple idea has grown into a thriving indoor garden that brings residents together, fosters connection, and creates a shared sense of pride.🌿💚

With support from Cassie in CHIP's Resident Services department, residents are learning how to nurture their herbs—turning small seeds into something meaningful for their community. This is what home looks like at CHIP—spaces where people can grow, connect, and belong.🏡

At the future site of Lakeridge Circle Apartments in Magalia, CA, CHIP’s Rental Housing Development team recently welcomed a collaborative group of visitors for a site tour and discussion!👷

Led by Ingrid from CHIP's Rental Housing Development Department, the tour brought together representatives from Lake County and Nevada City to learn, share, and explore what it takes to restore housing and strengthen communities after disaster. We were also pleased to have Regenerating Paradise join the conversation—an organization dedicated to fostering collaboration and community-building on The Ridge.

Projects like Lakeridge Circle, which will bring 64 units of affordable housing to the Camp Fire burn scar, are a critical step in helping families return, recover, and rebuild on the Ridge.🏡
