The Conversations Continue
On the Outside in Chattanooga, an ongoing conversation with the men, women and children living on the street in Chattanooga and the people who're daily doing all they can to help find them a home, has expanded to an hour. In this first hour-long show, we talked to some of the people who daily criss-cross the city and the county, offering solace and support to the homeless. We also talked to the former Mayor of Chattanooga, Ron Littlefield, about 11th Street and the "campus" for the homeless that he began creating in the early 2000's and his continuing efforts to help the homeless in the city. We also talked to Merri Mae Williamson. Ms. Williamson represents the residents of the neighborhood surrounding 11th Street who are opposed to expanding the services for the homeless on 11th Street, particularly, an overnight shelter.

Part Eight: Housing First (Pt. 2)
For too many people in Chattanooga, the cost of renting an apartment is beyond their means. According to Zumper, an online apartment search site, in the last year, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Chattanooga jumped by 18.3% over the past year to an average rent of $1,550 a month, Realtors are reporting that the rise in rental prices is now slowing, but for many people finding affordable housing is almost insurmountable. And when they lose their job and don’t have a family to help them until they find a job, they have no other option than to live on the street. According to the CHATT Foundation over 4000 people, including over 1000 school-age children, were forced to live on the street in Chattanooga last year. In this second part of a two-part look at the fundamental issue facing both the city and the unsheltered--finding an affordable place to live, we talked to Casey Tinker, the manager of The City of Chattanooga’s Office of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Mr. Tinker talked about the city’s plans to convert the Airport Inn motel on Lee Highway into 80 apartments along with an on-site support staff helping people with the practical and emotional challenges they face as they leave the ad hoc community on the street to independent living in an apartment.
