...serving residents throughout Hamilton County, Tennessee
In September 2021...
...the Chattanooga City Council approved Mayor Tim Kelly’s request for a $500,000 allocation to the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga (CFGC) for the prevention of evictions and to reduce homelessness in our community resulting from the pandemic.
With these resources, CFGC expanded its Eviction Prevention Initiative (EPI) pilot program. The EPI is a partnership between the City of Chattanooga, CFGC, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga, and Legal Aid of East Tennessee.
OUR GOALS

COLLECT & SHARE DATA

Why are we here?
Our city’s recovery from the pandemic, its growing population, and new local, state, and federal resources all present a window of opportunity for our residents and policymakers to act strategically on the housing issues impacting our neighborhoods.
