CNE believes the future of Chattanooga is rooted in the vibrancy of all our neighborhoods and the prosperity of all our people. For 38 years, CNE has dedicated itself to transforming neglected neighborhoods in Chattanooga and ensuring the financial well-being of its residents. During this time, CNE has been at the forefront of strengthening the housing market by providing a range of affordable and income-restricted homes for homeowners and renters alike. Our comprehensive approach, which includes neighborhood investment, resident empowerment, and wealth-building initiatives, has made a positive impact on the target neighborhoods where we have worked.
To accomplish our objectives, CNE takes a holistic approach. We invest in the development of affordable and mixed-income housing on vacant or blighted lots. We empower residents within these neighborhoods to become leaders, advocating for their communities and driving positive changes. Through our homeownership programs, we facilitate wealth building by providing education, financial assistance for down payments, and affordable mortgage options. Additionally, we offer home improvement loans and services to prevent foreclosures and maintain stable homeownership. Our affordable rental options help families save money, while financial literacy is actively promoted through counseling, coaching, and our annual Money School event. Moreover, our small-dollar loans serve as an alternative to costly payday lenders, benefiting local families by reducing excessive fees.
