CRITI showed me that I am not just a homeless person, but a human being, and how amazing I am! I know that I can get different results by making different choices. I'm happier than I have ever been.KATHRYN

After a few weeks at CRITI, my mom found a job. Being homeless was really motivating for me. It made me want to push harder, not only for me but for my mom. You know what CRITI does? It gives women hope!CHRISTINA

Without CRITI, I don't know where I would have ended up. CRITI gave me the chance to become a productive member of society. Most importantly, the staff believed in me so that I could believe in myself.TERESA

CRITI helped me establish a nest egg so that an emergency expense won't lead to homelessness again. For the people who support CRITI: You are giving us the will to keep going!CARLA

The scariest part about being homeless was wondering how it will affect my son. The other day he told me 'I don't give up because you never give up.' I never said that to him. He learned that by watching me.MONIQUE

My biggest blessing here was learning to love myself. I found home in me and I didn’t know that before. Sometimes you’ve got to leave everything you know to find out who you areCHRISTINE

NEWS & UPDATES AT CRITI
BRIGHT IDEAS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES
Billie Millsaps, a seven year old, had the idea of collecting donations for charities around Chattanooga. At the end of each month, Billie and her parents take the donations they have collected to those in need. The family stopped at CRITI a few weeks ago to deliver a huge donation.
What a wonderful example this young lady has set for others to follow in showing kindness to neighbors in need! We are grateful for her kindness and generosity. Thank you Billie and family!
We want to say thank you to Whole Foods at Northshore for the beautiful flowers they donated for the CRITI residents and staff.
The flowers brighten our lobby and our spirits. The staff and residents are grateful for the kindness and cheer that Whole Foods delivered!
Very beautiful and kind ❤
Thank you Whole Foods Market!

Chattanooga Room in the Inn continues to meet the needs of women seeking shelter and safety and has even added new programs during Covid.The point in time (PIT) count is a federally mandated count to give lawmakers a better understanding of how many individuals are homeless across the country and helps identify where additional funding may be needed for improvements.
Chattanooga Room in the Inn’s Outreach Manager is assisting this week with the PIT count. Teams are assigned to various areas to complete this important collection of data. There is concern that the pandemic has impacted the numbers however, this will not be known until the collection of data is complete and the report is finalized for public review.
