Rooftop Foundation
Oct 17, 2023
Mission Statement
Rooftop’s mission is to Keep Nashville Housed: Building stability through a compassionate & collaborative rent/mortgage assistance program.
47% of all Americans state they don’t have $400 saved for a financial emergency. (rockefellerfoundation.org) Rooftop serves this population by interrupting the eviction cycle for Davidson County residents who have sustainable living situations but whose housing stability has been threatened because of an unexpected financial hardship. Once a person loses a home, the eviction goes on their credit record and the odds change dramatically against that person ever regaining stable and permanent housing. A chronically homeless person cost the tax payer an average of $35,578 per year whereas supportive housing cost an average of $12,800 (endhomelessness.org). In 2020 and 2021 Rooftop joined the community in responding to natural disasters, COVID-19, and other financial assistance needs. Rooftop stabilized a total of 1027 households with just over $1.6 million in assistance impacting over 2,500 Nashvillians. In 2022, Rooftop stabilized 189 households with $417,662 in assistance in addition to processing 232 emergency rental HOPE applications that represented $1.3+ million in assistance paid through Metro government.
