NOAH'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.

The Metro Trustee's Office will be there to explain the steps to apply. If you know a senior or disabled homeowner who may be interested, please download the flyer and share it with them!
There will also be a showing of the short film, “Segregated by Design” (based on the book by Richard Rothstein, The Color of Law), which “examines the forgotten history of how our federal, state, and local governments unconstitutionally segregated every major metropolitan area in America through law and policy.”
