Criteria:

Applicant must have a Substance Use Disorder.

Applicants must provide documentation verifying a minimum of 30 days of sobriety. Acceptable verification includes drug screening documentation or proof of residency in a structured or controlled environment.

Applicants must have at least one child under the age of 12.

Applicants must meet specific criminal background criteria. Convictions for murder, manufacturing methamphetamine, or any sex offense will render the applicant ineligible for Chattanooga Housing Authority residency.

Applicants must possess a photo ID, birth certificate, and Social Security card. These documents are required to sign a lease with the Chattanooga Housing Authority. Applicants should secure these items before submitting their Family Way application.

Furniture Deposit:

By applying to the CADAS Family Way Program, applicants agree to a $300 furniture deposit, which, if needed, can be paid in four consecutive monthly installments of $75. The first installment is due on the date of admission. Alternative payment sources are available for indigent applicants. Applicants are responsible for reaching out to these sources and arranging payment prior to submitting their application.

Other Considerations:

Attendance at group sessions is mandatory unless excused by the Primary Counselor. Acceptable reasons for excused absences include legal obligations, medical appointments, or personal illness. If the applicants work schedule conflicts with required group sessions, they are expected to adjust their schedule or seek alternative employment.

Mandatory group sessions:

Tuesday - 10:00 AM or 5:30 PM

Wednesday – 10:00 AM or 5:30 PM
