Company Overview:

Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, Inc. (CHUN) is a non-profit registered neighborhood


organization dedicated to Preserving the Past, Improving the Present, and Planning for the
Future of Greater Capitol Hill. CHUN strives to accomplish this mission through its
emphasis on historic preservation, affordable housing and homelessness, land use,

through our Community Partners program, and through our CHUN Community Center.
