Be a Helping Hand develops affordable housing in the North Nashville area. Since its establishment in 2004, the nonprofit has developed or renovated 30 affordable units. The organization is part of the North Nashville Consortium, a partnership of four area nonprofits that are stabilizing North Nashville neighborhoods by purchasing and rehabilitating foreclosed, vacant, and abandoned properties. With $3 million in HUD funding, the group plans to renovate 40 units to rent to low-income Nashville families.
