Meet Olga De La Torre!

As CHC’s Intake Coordinator, Olga is often the first voice clients hear when they reach out for help. For the past 4 years, she has been providing reassurance and support to individuals and families facing some of life’s most challenging situations.

One of Olga’s favorite parts of her role is helping clients who feel overwhelmed and uncertain about their housing situation. She reminds them to take a deep breath, reassures them that they have come to the right place, and lets them know they are not alone.

What motivates Olga every day is the opportunity to help people during stressful times and connect them with the resources they need. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband, three sons, and friends, creating meaningful memories together. She also loves coffee, matcha, attending church, and capturing life’s little moments through photography.

Stay tuned as we continue introducing the dedicated team members who make CHC’s mission possible!

Meet Yesenia Reyes!

As CHC’s Program Manager and Housing Counselor, Yesenia Reyes has been serving clients and supporting the organization’s mission since February 19, 2009. Over the years, she has remained committed to helping individuals and families achieve their housing goals while providing guidance, encouragement, and compassionate support.

A former college soccer player, Yesenia credits the sport with teaching her the value of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—qualities that continue to shape both her personal and professional life.

What Yesenia enjoys most about working at CHC is building meaningful relationships with clients and being part of a team that is dedicated to making a positive difference every day. Helping others and seeing clients achieve their goals is what motivates her most, and knowing she has played a role in their journey is incredibly rewarding.

Outside of work, Yesenia enjoys spending time with her husband and their four children. Between school sports, travel teams, and family activities, life keeps her busy, but she treasures every opportunity to support her children, celebrate their accomplishments, and create lasting memories together.

One thing Yesenia hopes everyone feels when they connect with CHC is that they are heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. She and the entire CHC team are committed to providing exceptional service, building trust, and ensuring that every client receives the personalized attention they deserve.

People ask what sets CHC apart from other organizations, and one thing we kept coming back to is simple:

We answer the phone.

No endless clicking.
No getting passed around.
No trying to figure out who to talk to next.

When people reach out for help, guidance, or resources, they deserve to feel seen and actually connected to someone who can help. That’s something we don’t take lightly.

This is what makes CHC, CHC.

Stay tuned because in the next posts, we’ll introduce the people behind CHC: the team making all of this happen.

Buying a home can feel overwhelming right now… and honestly, a lot of people are carrying that pressure quietly.

Between prices, saving for a down payment, figuring out qualifications, and hearing everyone else talk like they have it all figured out… it’s easy to feel stuck before you even start.

But preparation changes things. Education changes things. Having someone help you understand your options changes things.

That is what the Community Housing Council of Fresno (CHC) is here for. CHC offers homebuyer education, housing counseling, and support to help you move forward with more confidence, not more confusion.

If homeownership is something you’ve been thinking about, start with one conversation instead of carrying all the questions alone.

Visit CHC or reach out to learn more about upcoming classes and housing resources.

If you’re using down payment assistance, there’s a reason they ask you to take a homebuyer class 👇

Programs like CalHFA aren’t just handing out funds, they’re investing in YOU. And they want to make sure you’re fully prepared, not just approved.

When you sit down with a HUD-certified counselor, it gets real. You go over your income, budget, credit, and what you can actually afford. No guessing, no surprises. Just a clear plan that sets you up for success long after you get the keys.

Because buying a home is one thing. Keeping it and thriving in it is the goal.

If you’re thinking about buying and want to do it the right way, start here. Reach out and we’ll help point you in the right direction 🤝
