NTEE Code: P60: Emergency Assistance

MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Rooftop Nashville has a single mission to partner with congregations to provide emergency rental assistance to residents of Davidson County to prevent homelessness and provide hope. Congregations all over Metro Nashville receive calls on a daily basis from individuals and families asking for emergency help with their rent. Rooftop Nashville not only serves these Nashvillians in need, but also provides the churches with a program to help those who come to their doors. The Rooftop program pools funds from all the partner churches, screens the applicants and provides assistance directly to the landlord or mortgagor.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Our goal is to help individuals, seniors, parents and children regain their independence and self-sufficiency by helping them address the temporary crisis they face.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Our process starts when someone submits an application online. A social worker from Rooftop then calls the applicant to do a phone inteview. If the applicant does not qualify, the social worker then refers the applicant to other area services. If the applicant will possibly qualify, the social worker gathers all documentation and confirms the balance with the landlord. A review team meets to make decisions on pending applications. The social workers then call the client to notify them of the review team's decision. The funds are then submitted directly to the landlord or mortgagor. For those having difficulty with the technology, applications can be taken over the phone, or there is a drop box at our physical location.
