Rebuilding Together Nashville Safe and Healthy Home Improvement Program

How it works

Rebuilding Together Nashville’s Safe and Healthy Home Improvement Program (SHHIP) provides free home repairs and accessibility modifications. The program is aimed at critical health and safety hazards in the homes of low-income older adults, veterans, and people living with disabilities.

What the money covers

The official page lists examples including critical roof repair and gutter replacement, repairing or replacing low- or non-functioning HVAC systems, and accessibility work. The page positions these as direct in-kind repair services rather than cash grants.

Geographic focus

The page says Rebuilding Together Nashville partners with Metro Environmental Court to assist individuals throughout Davidson County who have outstanding code violations.

How it helps homeowners

For a homeowner, this is one of the few local programs that directly provides repair labor and materials rather than a loan or rebate. The listed repairs can address hazards that also matter for storm and wildfire resilience, especially roof and gutter issues.

Timing and application

The page does not state fixed deadlines in the snippet available here; applicants should consult the nonprofit directly for current intake status.
