The Decisions We Make: Housing and Housing Policy
On Tuesday, February 18th, CALEB held a public meeting to break down the housing crisis, explore real solutions, and give community members a chance to connect directly with city council candidates.
Two viable solutions were presented: investing public subsidy to support the development of a community land trust and local ordinances for housing reform. Tennessee state law preempts certain legislation that cities can enact, so inspiration was taken from methods that other cities have enacted housing regulation.

More in depth information can be found in the feasibility study CALEB released in February 2021. *It's important to note that the calculations in that report were based on market conditions in 2021 and those numbers change with market fluctuations.
On Thursday, Feb 22nd, 2024 CALEB held a press conference in front of City Hall to announce our Housing Proposal and call for further action to address Chattanooga's housing crisis. |
