Breaking Ground on 60 Units of Low-Income Housing

AIM Center and its partners broke ground on Espero Chattanooga, a new 60-unit affordable housing development located at 1807 and 1823 East Main Street. Espero – “hope” in Spanish – will serve individuals living with serious mental illness, providing them with a stable, supportive environment to foster their well-being and future prospects. The $21 million project is intended to address the urgent need for affordable housing options for individuals with mental illness. Without access to stable, affordable housing options, many of these individuals will face cycles of instability, frequent hospitalizations and challenges in accessing healthcare.
