The Next Chapter At A Chattanooga Hub To Fight Homelessness

coeo.media

Here in Southeast Tennessee, the Chattanooga Regional Homeless Coalition applies for Federal funds for agencies in this area that are working to end homelessness.

Mackenzie Kelly - who led the Coalition on an interim basis since last summer - was recently named its new executive director.

Last month, I spoke with her - and Zach Hurst, the Coalition’s board chair.

Ray is the host and producer of Scenic Roots, Mondays - Thursdays at 3 PM on WUTC.
