Of the folks who are left at RiverChase, many have never spoken to a Housing Navigator (person designated to help find a new home).
Some who had reported that their Navigators weren’t helpful or not communicative.
Others had good experiences but still just can’t find a place.

One resident is being forced to move to Clarksville to find housing that meets her family’s needs. She works here in Nashville. She’ll have to commute.
She also reported that she hadn’t even heard of the $2200 moving stipend that was promised to residents.

Funding minority business drives #Equitabledevelopment. Several Ohio #CDFIs run minority contractor loan programs to support MBE participation in construction and allied fields. Funds help start-up contractors withstand delays in payment & compete for more jobs. #GOPCThread
