OUR IMPACT IN 2026

When Neighbors Lead, Nashville Moves Forward.

In 2026, Neighbor 2 Neighbor turned neighborhood ideas into meaningful action. We invested directly in resident-led projects, launched new opportunities for young leaders, and secured major commitments to community safety and affordable housing.

BUILDING BLOCKS FUND

Invested |

Neighborhood Projects

$5,000

Through our Building Blocks Fund, N2N awarded grants totaling $5,000 to support resident-led neighborhood projects. These investments put resources directly into the hands of neighbors who understand their communities and are ready to turn local priorities into meaningful action.

YOUTH FORWARD

Youth Leaders | Civic Engagement

We launched Youth Forward to invest in the next generation of neighborhood leaders. Seven young people, ages 13–17, participated in civic education, leadership development, and community problem-solving, gaining the confidence and skills to help shape their neighborhoods’ future.

SAFE BY US™

Secured | Resident-Led Community Safety & Education

$150,000

N2N secured a $150,000 Metro Nashville investment to advance SAFE BY US™, our resident-led community safety initiative. This funding will support neighborhood safety assessments, resident stewardship teams, and community-driven improvements that put neighbors at the center of creating safer, healthier places to live.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Awarded |

Affordable Housing

$750,000

N2N received a $750,000 Barnes Fund award to support a planned affordable housing development in Northeast Nashville. This significant investment moves us closer to creating affordable housing opportunities and helping families remain connected to the communities they call home.

“These investments tell a larger story- When neighbors have access to resources, their ideas become opportunities, their leadership becomes influence, and their communities gain the power to shape what comes next.” - Alisha Haddock, Executive Director
