2. CHAP Welfare helps guide people to available support channels and works with them through the process.

3. CHAP Money helps people resolve financial challenges and reduce the stress and additional challenges these can bring.

We also provide an education service:

• Early intervention and prevention delivered in secondary schools around homelessness prevention and financial education.
• ​Multiply: helping people with financial literacy, budgeting etc.
