Clinch-Powell has been actively serving our communities since 1989. While we continue in our efforts to conserve local resources and protect the environment around us, we also recognize that the needs of our communities are as diverse and evolving as the ecosystems we strive to preserve. This has led us to move into community housing development and community development finance.
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.
