Chattanooga Room in the Inn Working to Replace Aging HVAC Units: Community Support Needed
At Chattanooga Room in the Inn (CRITI), we are committed to providing a safe, stable, and welcoming environment for women and children experiencing homelessness. Our shelter is more than just a roof, it's a place where families begin to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives.
​
Right now, we’re facing an urgent and unexpected challenge. Two of our four HVAC units responsible for keeping our facility cool and comfortable are on the verge of complete failure. We've made repeated repairs, but multiple HVAC professionals have told us these units likely won't survive into the fall. With summer heat already setting in, we cannot afford to lose air conditioning while housing up to 35 residents at a time.
​We’ve received four competitive quotes and selected the most cost-effective and reliable option. The total cost for replacing both units is $22,177* an expense that was not budgeted for this year.
We are asking for your help to raise the funds needed to keep CRITI livable and safe during the hottest months of the year. With your help, we can keep our shelter cool and comfortable for women and children who are working hard to rebuild their lives.
