- Eviction Right to Counsel program becomes permanent in Nashville
Nashville's Eviction Right to Counsel program is now permanent after Metro Council approved increased funding and embedded it within the city's Housing Division. The program, which provides legal services to low-income renters facing eviction, received $4.5 million in 2027 budget funding, up from $2.4 million the previous year, and is administered by five partner organizations including Legal Aid Society and the Nashville Hispanic Bar Association.
