OUR APPROACH
Our ChanceTN, an initiative by the Tennessee Alliance for Economic Mobility, supports families in moving beyond the benefits cliff. The Tennessee Alliance for Economic Mobility is a public-private partnership comprised of 32 organizations and counting that has developed an innovative approach to transform Tennessee's safety net and ultimately improve low-income families' economic mobility and wellbeing.
Our approach is based in part on Martha O’Bryan Center’s Family Success Network, launched in 2020, supported 200+ families in accomplishing 718 education and employment advancement goals. Martha O’Bryan Center, the lead organization for Tennessee Alliance for Economic Mobility (TAEM), was awarded $25m to improve families’ economic mobility and wellbeing in Middle Tennessee across seven counties to defeat poverty.
