In 2018, AIM helped 6 individuals secure housing through HUD and private funding
to receive additional funding to expand services to the estimated 55 homeless families in our area. AIM will utilize data from the Homeless Management Information System to identify our homeless population’s needs and to provide that data to the appropriate agencies. Our partners include:
- Continuum of Care
- TN Housing Development Agency
- Coordinated Charities of McMinn County
