Stand Against Injustice Webinar - Housing Access in a Changing Nashville

Nashville is growing fast, and that growth is raising hard questions about housing affordability, homelessness, health, safety, and belonging. Policymakers across the country are grappling with rising housing costs, and here in Middle Tennessee, families, workers, survivors, patients, and longtime residents are all trying to figure out what it takes to stay housed, stay safe, and stay rooted in their communities. On Wednesday, Aug. 26, YWCA Nashville hosted a Stand Against Injustice conversation on housing as a social justice issue. We'll discussed the systems that shape housing access — drawing on our panelists' frontline work supporting recovery after hospitalization, preserving affordable units, and building real pathways to long-term stability.
