Housing For All TN Coalition
In early 2025, TN Renters United co-founded Housing for All Tennessee, a coalition that brings together tenant organizations and homeless advocacy groups to fight for safe and dignified housing for every family in our state. The coalition brings together our collective strength to win state and local policies around three pillars: truly affordable housing, tenants' rights, and ending homelessness. On February 18, 2025, we brought together over 130 people from every corner of Tennessee for a Housing and Homelessness Day on the Hill at the state capitol.

Bedford County Listening Project
The Bedford County Listening Project (BCLP) is a group of neighbors in Shelbyville, TN working towards solutions they believe will make their lives better. We started in 2017 as a small group of people going door to door talking to our neighbors about issues we saw happening in Shelbyville. From that first effort, 250 people filled out a survey that identified landlords and other bad actors who were creating some of the worst housing conditions faced by our neighbors. This led to the start of the community-led campaign called Shelbyville Tenants Organizing for Protections (S.T.O.P.).
Since our start, we have developed a core group of leaders and community members who are anchored by renters and are working to build community power for safe, affordable housing. And just this year, in 2023, we finally won a renter committee through years of planning and organizing. The majority of the members of this official city committee are renters, a win that is the first of its kind in the state. This committee will help us carry more weight on our side when we throw down against local landlords who want to take advantage of us.

TN Renters United
TN Renters United believes that everyone deserves to raise their families in healthy housing no matter how much money they make.
Landlords, developers and out of touch politicians work together to make housing unaffordable for working people. They make laws at the state level that prevent communities from taking steps toward safer, healthier housing conditions. We know developers and rich politicians shouldn’t be the only ones making plans for our communities.
We need healthy homes to lead healthy lives, from school to work to relationships. We live here, we raise our kids here, and we deserve to have a say and to STAY.
By getting other renters to join us from across Tennessee, beginning with small towns and rural communities, we can put pressure on those in power and win the housing we need. And if we can win here, we can win everywhere.

Baldwin County Listening Project
The Baldwin County Listening Project (BCLP) is a group of neighbors in Milledgeville, GA currently working towards better housing solutions for the local community. We started in 2024 as a small group of folks knocking doors and hosting monthly meetings about what folks love about their community and what they would like to see changed. From there, folks voted to focus on addressing the lack of safe and affordable housing in Milledgeville.
Currently, we are collecting surveys from community members all over Baldwin County about their experiences with housing. If you live locally and would like to get involved or take a survey, sign up here to get involved!
