Homelessness & Incremental Housing Toolkit

Completion Date: Spring 2024

Project Details: 

Homelessness is a complex issue but at its core it is a housing problem. CNE worked with local organizations to develop a toolkit to address some of the housing specific issues.

Through our research we found the majority of people experiencing homelessness are singles living alone with minimal support needs. While there will always be people that do not fit this description, a housing strategy that focuses on the majority can free up more resources for the minority with the highest amount of support needed.

This document provides a series of prototypes that can flexibly adapt to local condition and needs in Chattanooga. No matter the type, all of our PSH housing aims to meet the following criteria: small, proximate, private, and dignified.
