The Hub partners with nearly 200 organizations in the fight against our community’s most extreme form of poverty, and our innovative programs and effective operations have established us as a leader. We have the capacity and the vision to work alongside civic leaders to get things done on behalf of those we serve. Partnering with the City Council, Mayor Young, Mayor Lee, and the County Commission, alongside the NGOs such as the Downtown Memphis Commission and the Memphis Medical District Collaborative, the Hospitality Hub occupies the city-owned former vehicle inspection station at 590 Washington Ave with a day plaza, expanded Hub offices, and an emergency shelter for women. The opportunities of the plaza/shelter at 590 Washington are a great development for Memphis’ most vulnerable population. The Hospitality Hub serves all unhoused individuals in the City of Memphis and Shelby County. We see the majority of our guests at our main campus at 590 Washington. From here we do extensive case management and offer direct services to help people find a path out of homelessness. Our direct services include but are not limited to providing shelter, referring to shelter, supporting individuals to obtain necessary documents to be eligible for permanent housing, connecting and transporting people to detox, recovery, mental health services, both temporary work and permanent jobs. The Hospitality Hub, or as it’s known in this space, “The Hub,” partners with dozens of nonprofits, governmentAbout UAC:UrbanArt Commission (UAC) works to create opportunities for artists and neighborhoods to connect and shape spaces through public art. Since 2002, UAC has managed the City of Memphis’s Percent-For-Art Program, which allocates funds annually to develop public art in connection to capital improvement projects.
