About eight months after firing its previous executive director, the Chattanooga Regional Homeless Coalition has identified some potential finalists to fill the position.
Alfreda Hyatte, chair of the coalition’s board, said in a phone call that leaders have “conducted an extensive search” and have interviewed a number of interested candidates. The organization has also been obtaining feedback from key staff and community partners.

“We’ve been very intentional in this process,” she said.
Asked if it has been a national search, Hyatte didn’t provide specifics. She also didn’t identify the community partners that have provided feedback on the search. The coalition does not yet know when it will make a final selection.
