Last month, Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise held a grand opening for a new phase of an affordable housing development in the Highland Park neighborhood.

For nearly forty years, the nonprofit has helped residents of this city purchase their first home - and has provided homeowners with financial and technical assistance to maintain their homes.

On Saturday, CNE holds its free “Money School” - at the Construction Career Center at 2225 Roanoke Avenue - from 8 AM to 2 PM.

Martina Guilfoil is CNE’s President and CEO.
