Nashville's Agenda was a citizen led effort bringing together all of the City's disparate communities to dream about and develop "21 goals for the 21st Century." In 1995, out of these visioning sessions, a Housing Action Team organized around three objectives:1. Establish a clearing house to coordinate affordable homeownership opportunities;2. Increase the supply of affordable and subsidized housing; and3. Invest more resources in current housing solutions; create more incentives to develop property.
