- Nashville expanding access to free eviction support services to help people stay in their homes
Nashville is expanding its Eviction Right to Counsel program with $4.5 million in funding, doubling its budget to provide legal support for low-income renters facing eviction. The program, now permanent under the city’s new budget, aims to help over 1,000 households annually by offering legal representation, rental assistance, and mediation through a coalition of five organizations.
