Nashville's unhoused population includes close to 200 veterans. City leaders and a group of nonprofits are working to help get them into housing.

One way they're doing this is with the recent purchase of Glastonbury Woods Apartments in Nashville that'll eventually house 72 veterans. The plan leaves the other 72 apartments for middle-income renters having a hard time finding affordable housing. 

In this Focus episode, hear more about their plans and get more information HERE!

Nashville's Plan to Reduce Veteran Homelessness

The Greater Nashville Music Census, a survey for anyone working in the music industry, announces a week extension to its closing deadline. The Census is capturing key information about the Nashville music economy to help the city and community make informed, data-driven decisions to support our music ecosystem moving forward.

The census will now remain open through Sunday, April 1 at 11:59 pm.

“We have the highest concentration of musicians in the nation living here in greater Nashville,” said Dave Pomeroy, president of the Nashville Musicians Association. “So we’re asking each and every one of them to take the census, spread the word, and help us set the bar for all other cities moving forward.”

What the YMCA is REALLY all about, may surprise you!

By law, students with disabilities may stay in the public school system until age 21. But what happens to them after that? About 80% of young adults with special needs leaving high school never find employment, even those able and willing. That's where non-profit organization BrightStone comes in!

They offer lifelong learning opportunities while teaching job skills, productive work habits, social skills, computer skills, health and nutrition, physical wellness, art, daily life skills, and leisure and learning activities. All designed to help adults with special needs thrive and live their best lives! 

BrightStone is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, licensed by the state of Tennessee, yet receives no state or federal funds. That means they're depending on support from people like you!

Hear BrightStone's Marketing and Communications Manager Kerri Bryant tell more about what BrightStone is about, how they can help someone you love, and how you can help them continue their mission to help adults with special needs!
