Membership Benefits

New property partners may receive up to $4000 for the first 5 units leased up through the LBHC. Existing property partners receive a universal $1000 for each move-in after the first 5, without limitation.

Individuals will receive wrap-around services provided by our local nonprofit partners focused on maintaining housing stability and a successful tenancy.

Property partners may receive up to $2500 per unit for minor repairs to make a unit move-in ready (max. of 5 units).

Mediation is provided in partnership with the Nashville Conflict Resolution Center, a group of professional mediators with experience in owner-tenant disputes.

The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) is now offering a sign-on bonus of $1,000 to -$2,000 to property owners in Davidson County who rent their properties to individuals and families experiencing homelessness through an Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV).

The EHV program operates within the same parameters of the Housing Choice Voucher and requires the property to meet the same quality standards.

All owners who sign up to participate will receive $1,000 per unit that accepts an EHV contract. In addition to the $1,000 bonus, a property owner may also be eligible for additional incentives:

The owner may receive $500 (capped at five units per property owner/complex) if a landlord is new to the Section 8 program, or if an owner who previously participated in Section 8, but not in the last 12 months.

The owner may also receive $500 for any unit located in a low-poverty census tract (poverty rate is at or below 20%).

The sign-on bonus and other incentives will be administered when the property and EHV participant enter into an initial lease and MDHA executes a Housing Assistant Payments (HAP) contract. The bonus will be issued to the property owner via direct deposit.
