Nashville, Davidson County & Tennessee

Start with one good call.

Tell the provider your county, whether you own and live in the home, and your nearest deadline. Ask about language or accessibility support if you need it. An application or waitlist does not pause a shutoff, sale, tax or court deadline.

Availability checked October 29, 2026. Funding and intake can change. Direct application links open the provider’s own website; Offer Genies receives none of your application information.

Repairs & utilities · Davidson County

MDHA home repair programs ↗

Screen repair needs including accessibility, HVAC, plumbing, roof, windows and rehabilitation.

Who it may help
Income-qualified principal residences; mortgage, taxes and insurance must be current. Check household limits and prior-assistance rules.
Cost & conditions
Some categories are grants; rehab, roof and window help are 0% loans with liens. Age-based forgiveness and sale/transfer repayment rules apply.
How to start
Use the application linked from MDHA or call. Review the September 2026 fact sheet and ask for the actual funding agreement.

The page lists waitlist applications and limited pre-screening. Submission is not an approval or start-date promise.

Repairs & utilities · Davidson, Cheatham, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson & Wilson

Westminster Home Connection ↗

Who it may help
Income below 80% of area median and a resident over 60 or with a disability. Resident ownership generally applies; some mobility work can serve renters with owner permission.

Rebuilding Together Nashville ↗

Home repairs for eligible owner-occupants in the program’s mapped area.

Who it may help
Income and property limits apply, plus a resident age 60+, a veteran or a federal-disability-benefit recipient. Check the current map and full criteria.
Cost & conditions
No payment to the agency for repairs, but a five-year forgivable lien; sale within that period can require repayment from proceeds.
How to start
Check the map before screening. Disclose co-owners, serious structural issues and other conditions that may exceed program scope.

Screening leads to a waitlist; work is not immediate.

How to start
Download the provider application or ask for Home Access by phone.

Who it may help
Emergency Repair Program targets qualifying low-income older homeowners age 60+ or homeowners with disabilities with critical health/safety conditions.

Check balances and screen for separate tax-relief and tax-freeze programs.

Who it may help
2026 relief/freeze criteria include ownership, occupancy and program-specific age, disability, veteran and income rules.
Cost & conditions
Relief is not a loan or lien. A freeze is not cancellation of delinquent debt; taxes and court costs remain separate.
How to start

Sale dates can change. An application, partial payment or website visit does not resolve a lawsuit.

Repairs & utilities · Davidson County

Metro Action household assistance ↗

Screen for eligible household help, including utility and other financial emergencies.

Who it may help
Income and program conditions apply. Emergency assistance identifies recent income loss; senior programs have separate criteria.
Cost & conditions
Assistance depends on program, documentation and available funds.
How to start
Call to ask which program currently has funds, what records are required and how to apply. Confirm hours before travelling.

As checked October 29, LIHEAP assistance is delayed and waitlisted. This does not mean every Metro Action program is closed; the page also directs residents to 211.

Legal & ownership · Tennessee

Cost & conditions

Legal & ownership · Davidson County

Locate an estate case and request the appointment or order you need.

Who it may help
Public-record and procedural questions; the clerk does not decide your legal strategy.

TennCare estate recovery ↗

Determine a possible estate claim and ask about release, waiver or hardship review.

Who it may help
Case-specific long-term-care and surviving-family rules apply.

Use the current Request for Release and its checklist. Keep the written response with the estate file.

Insurance & safety · Tennessee-written insurance policies

TDCI Consumer Insurance Services ↗

Questions and complaints about insurance claim handling, denials or agents.

Who it may help
Contact the department about the specific policy and issue.
Cost & conditions
Ask the agency about the review process; it cannot promise coverage or a particular payment.

Have your policy, claim number, written decision and correspondence ready. Use the official complaint page.

Insurance & safety · Nashville / Davidson County

Metro Water floodplain & emergency contacts ↗

Floodplain development questions and urgent water, sewer or drainage service.

How we put this guide together

Offer Genies is a property acquisition business, not a law firm or government housing agency. This is general educational information, not advice about your particular case. Rules, eligibility and deadlines vary. Contact a qualified Tennessee attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor when your rights or a sale deadline are at stake.

We prioritize the agencies that run the programs: CFPB, HUD, THDA, Tennessee courts and local providers. Where older pages conflict with current notices, the guide identifies the current limitation rather than promising help.

Resources checked October 29, 2026. This guide has not been reviewed by an attorney. Programs and links can change; confirm details with the provider. Published eligibility is a starting point, not an approval.
