The Chattanooga-based Children’s Home/Chambliss Shelter is changing its name to the Chambliss Center for Children.

“We were looking for a name that was more reflective of what we do and what our mission is,” center board Chairman Paul Jacobs said.

“We wanted a name that is very welcoming and can better articulate our vision and mission, as we are much broader than a children’s home or shelter,” he said.

The Chambliss Center for Children’s mission is to preserve family unity and to serve the community’s child-care needs.

The center operates through an extended care center along with residential and foster-home programs.
