Long-awaited permanent supportive housing development breaks ground

When completed, the 90-unit complex will provide homes and on-site services to unhoused Nashvillians

After two-and-a-half years, Nashville has officially begun construction on a housing complex that will benefit some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. The city broke ground Tuesday morning on a 90-unit permanent supportive housing center that, when opened, will provide homes and on-site services to people experiencing homelessness.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mayor John Cooper said the five-floor building will be a “fabulous site” that will include green space and essential services that will help people stay off the streets — services including case workers and supportive services for mental health and substance abuse.
