Everyone in Nashville knows someone who has been affected by our affordable housing crisis.
Our city is at an inflection point, where it’s time for an “all hands-on deck” approach to deploy replicable innovative solutions that include our corporate citizens.
Mayor John Cooper announced at his April 29 2021 State of Metro Address that the city’s investment in affordable housing will triple to $37.5 million including future federal American Rescue Plan Funds.
In addition, the Metro Council has passed a non-binding resolution for an estimated $4.5 million annually for affordable housing from future Oracle property taxes.
