Welcome

OUR MISSION:     To improve the quality of life by providing a safety net of services for the poor and or disadvantaged citizens in Chattanooga and Hamilton County.    

Chattanooga Human Services  Department's roots are in the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act.  It was originally  the local Community Action Agency for Hamilton County. In 1990 CHSD became a city department, with the administrator appointed by the Mayor.  The agency is funded through federal, state and local governments as well as private individuals for special occasions.  A number of programs are offered through Chattanooga Human Services  which include Social Services, Head Start, Foster Grandparents, Child Care, HUD Counseling, Head Start/Early Head Start, and VITA.
