Property tax freeze and relief programs
"For starters, Rep. Harold Love did something big last year, increasing the income thresholds for people who are eligible to participate in our property tax freeze and relief program, administered here in Nashville by Trustee Erica Gilmore. I want more people to sign up for this program than ever before. It's great when property values go up, but when you're on a fixed income, it's not great when your property taxes go up if you're trying to stay in your home."
Financial Empowerment Center
"I want to let you know about the Financial Empowerment Center. This is an absolutely free financial consulting service supported by Metro that has helped Nashvillians eliminate millions of dollars of bad debt and increase savings by millions of dollars over the past decade. If you're experiencing any financial stress whatsoever, make an appointment today. This is available to everyone."
TennCare Re-enrollment
"This is probably the most important year yet for TennCare re-enrollment since COVID. If you're not sure about your status, please check it. And if you need any help, get in touch with Get Covered Tenn."
TVA Home Uplift Program
"NES, our local utility, participates in TVA's Home Uplift program, which can result in free upgrades to your home that save you money on your utility bill."
