Community Resource Hubs bring together trusted services, technology, and community partners in Chattanooga community centers. Residents can visit a hub to explore resources, connect with support, use public computers and kiosks, and learn about opportunities for individuals and families.
About Community Resource Hubs
Community Resource Hubs are designed to serve as trusted neighborhood anchors. By bringing public agencies, nonprofit partners, technology, and community programs together in welcoming neighborhood spaces, the hubs make it easier for residents to find information, complete common tasks, and connect with opportunities that support long-term well-being.
Services and partner schedules may vary by location. New information will be added as the Resource Hub network expands.
