At the Alliance for an Affordable Nashville (AAN), we are a collective of community advocates, housing developers, policymakers, and nonprofit organizations working together to address one of the most pressing challenges our city faces: affordable housing. Our mission is simple yet ambitious—create and maintain housing opportunities that ensure Nashville remains a vibrant, accessible city for everyone, regardless of income.

Who We Are

The Alliance is a volunteer-led organization that connects individuals and groups across sectors to push for long-term, sustainable solutions to the city's housing crisis. We are united by our shared belief that housing is a right, and that achieving equitable access to affordable living spaces strengthens not only individual lives but also the social fabric and economy of Nashville.

What We Hope to Achieve

Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to:

• Increase Affordable Housing: Work with city officials, developers, and community groups to increase the number of affordable housing units for low- and middle-income families.
• Influence Policy Change: Advocate for policies that promote smart growth, protect renters, and prevent displacement in Nashville’s rapidly changing neighborhoods.
• Engage the Community: Empower residents to participate in housing advocacy, ensuring that solutions come from the ground up and reflect the needs of all communities.
• Foster Partnerships: Build bridges between public and private sectors, nonprofit organizations, and the community at large to maximize resources and collective impact.

Together, we can ensure that Nashville grows in a way that includes everyone. By taking a multifaceted approach to advocacy, development, and community engagement, the Alliance is committed to making lasting changes that will allow the city to thrive for generations to come.
