Our Programs

The mission of Chattanooga Room in the Inn is to empower women and children experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives by providing transitional housing, support, and hope. All services are performed in a trauma-informed setting. We are a pet friendly facility so no family has to give up their beloved pet in order to reside at our shelter.

Shelter to Stability

The Shelter to Stability program provides a safe and supportive place for homeless women and children to live, along with resources needed to move toward stability and to find permanent, safe housing. The ultimate goal of the program is for women and children served to never become homeless again.

Child Advocacy

Women with children who move into the shelter have access to services from a Child Advocate on staff whose sole job is supporting the children during their stay. Services include tutoring/academic assistance, enriching activities, advocacy on behalf of children at school meetings, and parenting classes.

After Care Program

Once a resident graduates our program, one of our on-staff Social Workers will follow up with the graduate monthly for up to twelve months ensuring all areas we focus on during their stay (Family, Career, Finances, Health, and Housing) are still in balance and provide additional resources and tools to intercept the threat of becoming homeless again.

Thrift Store

Our thrift store is up and coming, but will serve as a hub to receive public donations that will be turned into precious funding for our other programs. It will also serve as a place where our residents can gather items they may need once permanent housing is obtained, at no charge to the residents.
