About Chimo Community Services

CHIMO COMMUNITY SERVICES

Supporting Richmond and surrounding communities for over 45 years

Chimo has a three prong approach to affecting social change in our community.

Through crisis programs, we serve people in immediate need. Through transition programs, people create meaningful, lasting changes in their lives, or establish themselves in their new country. Education encourages prevention and positively influences views and behaviours.

Crisis: Crisis Lines, Nova Transition House, Crisis Counselling

Transition: Counselling, Outreach and Advocacy, Newcomer Settlement Service, Homeless Prevention Program, Vacant House Program / Rental Connect

Education: Community Engagement
