NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â What was once a Discount Tobacco and Beer store is being reimagined into the permanent home for the Tennessee Justice Center.
The public-interest law firm and advocacy center has been in operation for 25 years, however, the nonprofit faced repeated displacement from its downtown locations due to several real estate development projects.
Since it opened, Tennessee Justice Center teams have assisted more than 15,000 low-income families and children statewide. They believe having a permanent home will help them achieve even more.

The percentage of Americans struggling with hunger is now at its lowest level since the pandemic began, suggesting the recent flood in aid from Washington is making a significant difference to families struggling economically.
Data released by the U.S. Census Bureau this week shows the percentage of adults living in households that sometimes or often did not have enough to eat dipped to just over 8 percent late last month, down from nearly 11 percent in March. That is a substantial drop, and it came after hundreds of billions in stimulus checks went out.
