The Hill - Housing For All | Franklin, Tennessee

The Issue

Please join us in advocating for affordable and workforce housing in downtown Franklin.
The City of Franklin has the unique opportunity to make a difference and be a part of the solution. Currently, there is a piece of surplus property known as “The Hill,” located at the intersection of Hillsboro Road and Del Rio Pike in Franklin. Community Housing Partnership of Williamson County, Habitat for Humanity Williamson-Maury, and Hard Bargain Association are asking the City of Franklin to allow them to use this site to develop new and affordable and workforce housing. This type of housing is a necessity. As the population of Franklin continues to grow, housing prices are increasing and people are being pushed out of the place they have called home their whole lives. There is also a younger generation that is returning from college and cannot afford to start their lives in their home town because of the excessive cost of housing. In addition to the younger generation, there is a large community of elderly citizens that can no longer afford to live in the community that has been their home for decades.

With your signature, we can make a difference together. You can let the City of Franklin’s Board of Mayor and Alderman (BOMA) know that the residents of this community care about this issue and want housing options for all residents in Franklin.
By signing this petition you are asking BOMA to support the three Franklin not-for-profits in obtaining the property known as “The Hill”.
