Chattanooga’s department of community development launched a new app, MyChattConnect, on Thursday, to centralize information about community resources.
The app has a feature that allows users to check into community centers by scanning a personalized barcode rather than paper sign-ins, according to a release from the department.
Also on the app is a list of community centers and the upcoming daily activities and events they are hosting. Users can register for events, rent facilities and pay balances from the app.
There is a page for the office of family empowerment, connecting users with social support and utility assistance. There is also a page housing the One Chattanooga plan from Mayor Tim Kelly and a page for those interested in applying for the community advisory committee in their area.

“This app is designed to bridge the gap between residents and vital services, resources and events,” Carol Hunter, administrator for the department of community development, said in the release.
The free app is now available on the Apple Store and Google Play.
