UPDATES FOR OUR DAY ON THE HILL!

Join us on February 24th, 2026 for our 4th Annual Day on the Hill to gather with other service providers, community organizers, faith leaders, community members, and people who are directly impacted by Tennessee’s housing crisis. Together, we’ll raise awareness, advocate for change, and educate our state legislators about issues of homelessness, tenants’ rights, and affordable housing.

We are so excited about seeing everyone for our 4th Annual Day on the Hill!

Despite the changes that have been made in the legislative session this week, our plans remain steadfast!

In the morning, we’ll have a powerful session, press conference, and action. In the afternoon, we’ll still be meeting with our legislators. While some meetings were cancelled due to scheduling changes, the vast majority are still on. We’ll also take our materials to legislative staffers and work to schedule in-district meetings when our elected officials are not available.

Let us be clear. We’re not here for politics. We’re here for people.

We show up because democracy requires participation. We ask our elected officials to show up, too—to show up for the countless tenants who are living in inhumane conditions, for the thousands of Tennesseans who sleep on our streets every night, and for all of us who are one pay-check away from a housing crisis.

If you are registered for Day on the Hill, please check your email for detailed logistical updates, and contact info@housing4alltn.org with any questions or cancellations.
