About Us

Clinch-Powell has been actively serving our communities since 1989.  As a community housing development organization (CHDO), we work with families to find solutions to their housing needs. As a sustainable community development organization, we help communities grow, provide small businesses with affordable capital needs, and support other non-profits and ecotourism endeavors throughout the region. As a conservation organization, we work with farmers to increase their profits while protecting the environment.

Mission

At Clinch-Powell we believe we all deserve to live in a healthy and vital community where everyone is empowered, youth are celebrated, education is a priority, the environment is clean and housing is affordable.

It is our mission to build strong, sustainable communities by investing in people, housing, and conservation of natural resources.

We accomplish this through collaborative partnerships, direct investments, financial education & counseling, and by providing housing solutions, primarily in Tennessee.
