In order to qualify for elderly and disabled housing, the head of household or spouse must be at least 62 years old or have a documented disability and have an adjusted income at or below 50 percent of the area median income.

The waiting list is for studio and one-bedroom apartments at Trevecca Towers, two elderly and disabled properties on Lester Avenue in Nashville.

The application is simple and takes less than five minutes to complete.  Applicants will need to register a new username and password and have a valid email address.

Within 30 days, applicants will receive a follow-up email confirming whether the application has been accepted and placed on the waiting list, or it has been rejected.

Applicants who need assistance applying may call the MDHA information line at 615-782-3960 weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the open enrollment period.

Applicants may also visit public libraries to access a computer. All Nashville Public Library locations have reopened for in-person services. While face coverings are no longer required, they are strongly encouraged for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals while inside Metro buildings, including Nashville Public Library.

Similar to the Tenant-Based Voucher Program, the PBV Program provides low- and moderate-income households with monthly rental assistance. However, PBV assistance is tied to particular units rather than to the family. Eligible families only receive assistance while living in the PBV unit.
