## Resource

Nashville’s city council is poised to approve a budget that boldly prioritizes housing stability and eviction prevention, injecting $2.1 million into legal aid for those facing displacement and another $1 million into the Barnes Housing Trust Fund to expand affordable options. Amid a $3.85 billion budget and modest 1.7% employee raises, these targeted investments signal a community-first approach shaped by months of public input and led by Budget Chair Kyonzté Toombs. Beyond housing, funds also support mental health teams, workforce development, and even animal care—with a small grocery tax cut thrown in. The vote on June 16th looks likely to pass, cementing a budget focused on keeping people housed and supporting vulnerable Nashvillians.
