No mom should have to worry about running out of diapers for her baby. The National Diaper Bank Network is here to help, connecting families to local diaper banks that provide free diapers and essential baby supplies. This incredible resource ensures that babies stay clean, dry, and healthy—because no mother should have to choose between food, rent, or diapers.

If you or someone you know needs diaper assistance, check out the member directory to find a diaper bank near you. Relief is just a click away!

The Hispanic Family Foundation (HFF) is dedicated to advocating for Hispanic and immigrant families in Nashville and surrounding areas. Through vital programs and services, HFF creates opportunities for economic mobility and stability while fostering trust within the community.

HFF offers a wide range of resources, including adult education (English classes, GED programs, and financial literacy), social services (TennCare, SNAP, and mental health support), and community engagement (job fairs, children’s events, cultural celebrations, and more). Additional services such as entrepreneurship programs, domestic violence support, and health fairs ensure families receive comprehensive assistance.

To learn more about HFF and how to access these valuable programs, visit their website or connect with them through Mi Ciudad Nashville Radio Show on Activa 1240AM & 105.1 FM.

January 2025  

The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency has opened its waiting lists for two elderly and disability housing properties on a first-come, first-served basis this month. Applications close at 3pm on Friday, January 17, 2025!

To qualify for these properties, the head of household must be at least 62 years old or have a disability. In most cases, documentation of the disability is required. Applications will be accepted online only and can be submitted 24 hours a day during the open application period at www.nashville-mdha.org.

Applicants can locate the application by clicking the button on the large yellow banner at the top of the home page that says Apply Now for Housing or clicking Apply for Housing under the Renters tab on the home page during the open waiting list period. The application process remains the same and will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Applicants must have a valid email address. Once an application is submitted, applicants will receive an email confirming that the application was submitted successfully.

Each property has its own waiting list, so applicants interested in both properties will need to fill out two online applications.
