90 Nashville is a citywide initiative connecting and engaging residents to expand housing opportunities and shape a future that works for everyone.
We love Nashville for its people, neighborhoods, local businesses, and vibrant communities. But rising housing costs threaten to push out the very people who make our city special. We believe Nashville can address affordability today while preparing for growth that strengthens our neighborhoods, supports local businesses, and creates more of what we love about our city.
Making that future possible requires more than building homes. It requires a community that understands the issues, participates in the decisions, and works together toward solutions.
90 Nashville brings people together across neighborhoods, industries, and institutions to build public understanding, encourage civic engagement, and advance housing solutions that allow current residents to remain part of the communities they've built while making room for more people to call Nashville home.
Our Mission
To promote public understanding of and engagement with housing policy, sustainable growth, and community development in Nashville.
Our Vision
To lead a citywide movement that delivers 90,000 new homes across Nashville by 2035—collaborating with neighborhoods, housing partners, and public leaders to remove barriers, spark innovation, and empower residents to shape a city where housing is abundant, affordable, and accessible to all.
Our Approach
Our work is built around three interconnected priorities:
Educate the Public
Make housing policy easier to understand by providing accessible, reliable information that connects housing issues to Nashvillians' everyday lives.
Build Community
Bring together residents, housing professionals, and public leaders to build a community working collaboratively to address Nashville's housing challenges.
Amplify Voices
Elevate community voices that support expanding housing opportunities by encouraging civic engagement and creating opportunities for residents to share their perspectives.
Our Guiding Principles
Transparency
We believe access to clear, accurate information is essential to building public trust and encouraging meaningful participation in housing decisions.
Collaboration
Housing challenges affect our entire community. Lasting solutions require cooperation across neighborhoods, sectors, and perspectives.
Evidence-Informed
We believe housing conversations and policy decisions should be grounded in credible research, local data, and an understanding of Nashville's evolving needs.
Get Involved
Building Nashville's future is a shared responsibility. Whether you're a resident interested in learning more, a professional working in housing, or a community leader looking to collaborate, there's a place for you in the conversation.
