Nashville fund helps musicians, hospitality workers achieve homeownership despite income challenges

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Buying a home is tough for just about anyone these days. But for musicians and hospitality workers in Nashville — people who often work late nights, rely on gig income, and rarely fit into the traditional mortgage mold — that dream can feel almost impossible.

That's where the Nashville Industry Fund is stepping in to help.

The people who give Nashville its rhythm are finding it harder and more expensive to live here. The Nashville Industry Fund was created in 2020 to provide a pathway to homeownership for the city's music and hospitality workers who depend on non-traditional income.
