Nashville opens its first permanent supportive housing development
Nashville’s first permanent supportive housing development for individuals experiencing homelessness opened after a ribbon cutting at the Jo Johnston Avenue facility on July 18. The Strobel House, named for the late Father Charles Strobel who died last year, has been years in the making. Mayor Freddie O’Connell took to the stage before the ribbon cutting to offer a message of gratitude for those who made the Strobel House possible. “We’ve worked now across four different mayoral administrations to ensure we got this right. And now we’re here, with new homes for people in desperate need,” he said.
