About CHAD
To The Friends and Supporters of The Center on Hearing and Deafness (CHAD),
It is with great sadness that we write this letter to inform you that CHAD is closing after 16+ years. The board of directors and the executive director have exhausted all avenues of pursuing revenue and grants in an attempt to keep CHAD’s doors open. The current fiscal climate and cutting of many government contracts has led us to this difficult decision. We assure you that we have made every effort possible to avoid this outcome.
Our first and foremost priority is to have our clients’ needs met by another qualified provider. We are in the process of establishing this transition and will continue to advocate on our consumers’ behalf until a satisfactory arrangement is finalized.
In accordance with the requirements of closure of a not-for-profit organization, appropriate institutions and professional partners have been notified. We truly thank you for all of your support over the years of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing throughout Chester County and its surrounding counties.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors,
Center on Hearing and Deafness
