Now a group is working to establish such a shelter. Heather Chambers recently retired and relocated to Cocke County. She says there are nearly 200 homeless people in the community, including children. According to Chambers, many children have no place to go when they turn 18, or they choose to leave home because of parental issues. âI know a big concern is that drugs often are associated with drug usage, but that is not always the case. We are concerned and focused on trying to help people get to where they need to be in life, by extending a hand and helping them up.â
