Connecting people with support services
If you need to link people with direct services, we recommend that you connect people with a case manager at Metro Social Services by calling 615-862-6432 during office hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.).
If you have general questions about homelessness or you would like to invite a representative from the Metropolitan Homelessness Commission to address your congregation, your neighborhood association, or any other group, please contact Judith Tackett at 615-880-2360.
Housing
The Office Of Homeless Services believes in assisting people with housing and the right levels of supports as quickly as possible. A well functioning Housing Crisis Resolution System utilizes all types of high-performing programs to give people options while our community works with them on housing solutions. The How's Nashville campaign, launched by the Metropolitan Homelessness Commission (now names the Office Of Homeless Services) in 2013, focuses on permanent supportive housing for people experiencing literal homelessness. Literal homelessness describes people who sleep in shelters, on the streets, in encampments, in cars, and in other places not meant for human habitation.
