Read MoreNOAH's Affordable Housing Task Force will kick off a new series of community meetings this Saturday, March 16th, at 10:00 am at Fifteenth Ave Baptist Church, 1203 9th Ave N, Nashville, TN. This event aims to educate the community on the property tax freeze and relief programs available to senior and disabled homeowners in Davidson County. It is estimated that about 16,000 households qualify for these programs, but only about 6,000 of these actually take advantage of them.
