Help Us Create Affordable Housing and Workforce Development

Help Us Transform North Nashville with Affordable Housing and Workforce Development!

We’re embarking on a mission to make a tangible difference in North Nashville by creating affordable, transitional housing that serves as a bridge for youth, families, and individuals seeking stability and opportunity. This project, located at in Historical North Nashville, will bring together affordable living spaces with workforce development and youth transition programs to strengthen our community.

The Vision
This initiative will transform a modest 3-bedroom, 2-bath home into a cornerstone of change. With provisionally approved plans, we aim to construct a 4,512 square-foot addition to create 12 new bedrooms or 6 two-bedroom suites. These spaces will serve as affordable housing for families, youth, and students transitioning to independence while providing access to resources like STEM career training, workforce development, and community-building programs.

Our partners include:

Excellence in Motion Inc. (focused on youth development and STEM education)
Bhegani Education Foundation (engineering and educational expertise)


The Impact
By combining affordable housing with workforce training, we will provide:

Stability for families facing housing challenges.
Opportunities for youth and students to focus on education and careers.

With the ability to accommodate double occupancy in each room, we can lower housing costs to $400-$600 per person per month, offering young adults an affordable option to gain financial stability, pursue education, and build a solid foundation for their future.

A sustainable revenue model to support future community projects.
With rents estimated at $800-$1,200 per room, this project can generate $115,000-$172,000 annually, ensuring self-sustainability and reinvestment in the community.

Why We Need Your Help
We need $425,000 to secure the property and initiate the building process. Your contributions will enable us to:

Purchase the land and existing home.
Begin the addition to create affordable, high-quality living spaces.
Lay the foundation for a model of sustainable housing development in North Nashville.

Be a Part of the Solution
North Nashville has a rich history, but it is at risk of losing its heart. Together, we can preserve this community while creating pathways to success for its residents. Every dollar counts. Join us in building not just housing but hope, stability, and opportunity. Any funds raised over the amount needed to complete this project will be placed in a trust to do more affordable housing builds in Nashville.
