We open doors to new possibilities, while revitalizing and advancing Nashville's neighborhoods. What we do: We believe that many overlooked groups--the homeless, those with mental disabilities, low-income residents, and young professionals--should have the opportunity to afford stable, vibrant communities to live, grow, and advance. Urban Housing Solutions works to revitalize communities through our creative housing options and support services. We also revitalize dilapidated properties by transforming them into functioning tools that help progress Nashville and its residents. Mission: To fulfill unmet housing needs in Nashville with innovative solutions that help revitalize and advance communities. Vision: We envision a city that is vibrant, thriving, and affordable to all if its residents and is inclusive of all--particularly those who have been traditionally marginalized. Values: Urban Housing Solutions is an organization built on a spirit of innovation, coupled with an unwavering dedication to its mission. Therefore, we value creative solutions that fuel progress, and we use these tools to help others. We value those we serve. This is why we believe in hope, opportunity, and second chances when others have turned a blind eye. We also value perseverance and good stewardship of resources, both of which enable us to continue to develop more desirable neighborhoods. Most importantly, we value community and the changes that can be accomplished by working together toward a common goal.
