Chico Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) started out as a partnership between the CSU Chico and the City of Chico, founded in 1973 by Jim Jessee, Keith Hopkins, Bill Murphy and Kevin Campbell. In 1991 the articles were amended to change the name to Community Housing Improvement Program, Incorporated. CHIP’s original purpose was the implementation of a plan to improve a small neighborhood south of campus through a housing rehab program. During CHIP’s first seven years, the only activity it carried out was housing rehab. In 1980, CHIP diversified operations by becoming a USDA Self-Help Housing grantee, soon expanding to a six-county service area. CHIP currently serves seven counties in California’s north central valley.
