Cooperative Home Care Associates (CHCA) was founded in 1985 as a home health care services agency licensed by the New York State Department of Health, to provide quality home care for elders and individuals living with physical disabilities in New York City. CHCA started with 12 Home Health Aides and now employs more than 1,700 home care workers, 98 percent of whom are Latina or African American women. As the largest worker-owned cooperative in the US, CHCA offers all employees the opportunity to purchase an equal ownership stake in the business. Today CHCA is one of the largest private-sector employers in the South Bronx and one of the largest women-and-minority-owned businesses in New York City.

As of 2012, CHCA has been certified as a B Corp.  B Corps are certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Together with Paraprofessional Health Institute (PHI), a national nonprofit founded by CHCA in 1991 and widely seen as the authority on the direct care workforce, CHCA maintains a nationally recognized on-site training and workforce development program that provides free training and employment opportunities to 600 low-income and unemployed predominantly women from the Bronx and Manhattan, annually.
