NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency has begun accepting applications for certain Project-Based Voucher properties on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can register online here until 3 p.m. March 11. Depending on how many applications, they receive, some waiting lists could remain open past that date.

The program provides low-and moderate-income households with monthly rental assistance. However, this assistance is tied to particular units rather than to the family. According to MDHA, eligible families only receive assistance while living in the Project-Based Voucher unit.

MDHA selects families from the waiting list and refers them to the owner of the unit to fill their vacancies.

Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements:

  • “Oakwood Flats: two and three-bedroom units will be available at Oakwood Flats, a multi-family development under construction at 2034 Pittway Drive in Nashville. These units are for families who qualify for a two or three-bedroom and have an adjusted income at or below 50 percent of the area median income. Leasing is expected to begin in October 2019.”
  • “Robinson Flats: one and two-bedroom units will be available at Robinson Flats, an elderly only property under construction at 1205 Robinson Road in Old Hickory. In order to qualify for elderly only housing, applicants must be 62 or older and have an adjusted income at or below 50 percent of the area median income. Leasing throughout 2019.”
  • “Trevecca Towers I & II: studio and one-bedroom units will be available at Trevecca Towers I & II, an elderly and disabled property being renovated at 60 Lester Ave. and 84 Lester Ave. in Nashville. In order to qualify, applicants must be 62 or older or have a documented disability and have an adjusted income at or below 50 percent of the area median income. Leasing is expected to begin in spring/summer 2019.”

Anyone who needs assistance can visit the MDHA Randee Rogers Training Center at 1419 Rosa L. Parks Blvd. from noon until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6 and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
