Programs – Chattanooga Room in the Inn

WHAT WE DO

The mission of Chattanooga Room in the Inn is to empower women and children who are experiencing homelessness to become self-sufficient by offering a temporary home while providing services necessary to meet their goals.

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 the women and children served through the program to never become homeless again.

RAPID REHOUSING

Each participant in the Shelter to Stability program completes a housing assessment at the time of admission so that barriers to permanent housing can be identified. A housing assessment also helps staff know what type of housing services are best suited for the participant.

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, advocacy on behalf of children at school meetings, and parenting classes.
