Urban League Hosts Luncheon to Encourage Affordable Housing Development

The Urban League of Middle Tennessee (Nashville, TN) hosted an inaugural luncheon as part of a series of events aimed at promoting more affordable housing development in the region.

The first-ever Lunch and Learn event was held on June 17 and saw nearly 100 industry leaders, real estate professionals, Metro Nashville employees, and residents come together to discuss the stigmas surrounding affordable housing, according to a release.

Attendees were treated to presentations by Habitat for Humanity, Project Return, the Metro Development and Housing Agency, and Urban Housing Solutions.

The luncheon was part of the R.E.D. Academy’s Housing on the Horizon Summit going on this week, which is a program aimed at empowering “developers of color to become more competitive contenders in Middle Tennessee’s real estate development market.”
