A Benefit for Our Place Nashville
Our Place Nashville partners with non-profit organizations to provide brick-and-mortar housing called Friendship Houses throughout the city for adults with developmental disabilities.
People with developmental disabilities (“friends”) deserve the opportunity to live full and rich lives in an inclusive environment where they are accepted, respected and belong. With the help of our housing partners, Our Place Nashville provides these friends with opportunities to live interdependently in a community that houses both able and disabled residents. Our resident friends live alongside graduate students and older adults (“companions”), also in need of affordable housing, who provide them with natural supports. We are the only private pay provider of affordable housing for adults with developmental disabilities in middle Tennessee.
Our Place Nashville fills the critical need for affordable and supportive housing for individuals with developmental disabilities. Given the rising costs of housing and the challenge of securing direct services, parents and families are hard pressed to financially afford and oversee independent living in the community for their loved ones. Without Our Place, the individuals we serve would be limited to insular lives at home with minimal opportunities to engage with others or enjoy the rich panoply of options independent living offers. We provide the missing piece of the puzzle – creating supportive communities where our friends can thrive and exceed their – and their families’ -- expectations.
