2010s - Serving over 18,000 individuals annually
At the start of the decade, Cindy Duenas became the ninth Executive Director, a new logo was created, and a new mission and vision was created. During this decade, CHS moved to our current home at 2000 W. Briggsmore Ave. (in 2015) which we own and a capital campaign helped raise over 1 million dollars in support of this.
Programs and services included: substance use treatment services for youth, the Newman Family Resource Center became a CHS program, the Promotores program, CalFresh program, Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT), Workforce Development, Movies Under the Stars in Oakdale, Father Involvement, Parent Cafes, Love Our Schools with Garrison Elementary.

Grants and funding: received a Susan G. Komen Grant to provide breast cancer awareness in the Westside of Stanislaus County, began a contract with Modesto City Schools for our Student Assistance Program (SAP) which grew our services from 31 schools to over 60, lost Federal TLP funding for Pathways which allowed us to re-evaluate and restructure the program.
