The Chattanooga Housing Authority is dropping a contract with an outside firm and moving implementation of a $50 million grant that partially funds community services in-house.

Choice Neighborhoods is a grant program through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development aiming to improve neighborhoods that contain public housing.

The requirements to receive the grant focus on three aspects:

— Housing: Replacing distressed units with higher quality mixed-income dwellings

— People: Community services focused on improving residents’ employment status, health and education
