Partnering To End Homelessness
Throughout our community, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are going through the devastating struggle of losing their homes. But we believe through partnerships and compassionate support, everyone in Blount County can have a place to call home.
A Place to Stay is the entry point to services for neighbors in Blount County, Tennessee, who are experiencing homelessness. In partnership with our unhoused neighbor and other community agencies, organizations, and businesses, we coordinate services and provide support to our neighbor in efforts to remove barriers to housing.
We Are Actively Engaged In:
- Listening to our neighbors experiencing homelessness, meeting them where they are
- With our neighbor, identifying and linking to community resources to remove barriers to housing
- Communicating with community partners and agencies to prevent duplication of and maximize services
- Creating pilot projects to meet the need for transitional, permanent supportive, and attainable housing
- Planning with the community to end homelessness in Blount County
