Contributor feature: MICRO-HOME VILLAGE OPENING A ‘PIECE OF NASHVILLE THAT REPRESENTS WHO WE ARE’
BY ANNA D’AMICO
A Nashville church made its mark in the fight against homelessness by building the nation’s first-ever micro-home village dedicated to medical respite for the city’s most vulnerable.
On July 19, ribbons were cut on 12 micro-homes at the Village at Glencliff United Methodist Church, which will be occupied by people experiencing homelessness recovering from hospital stays.
“The goal is dignity and humanity in healing,” said the Rev. Ingrid McIntyre, founder of the Village at Glencliff.
