"To serve as the region's leader in advocating, planning, and maximizing funding and resources for homeless services."

The Coalition currently covers 11 counties, Bledsoe County, Bradley County, Grundy County, Hamilton County, Franklin County, Marion County, McMinn County, Meigs County, Polk County, Rhea County, Sequatchie County.
