Negotiations for a Community Benefits Agreement with Texas-based real estate developer CREA reached an impasse over lack of affordability offered at the proposed new development at the current RiverChase site.

We are sharing these CBAs so the People of Nashville understand what we are fighting for!

Advocating for the future of RiverChase has been a three-year undertaking that is far from over.

You’ve heard a lot recently about gentrification and displacement, especially since we have the Community Benefits Agreement in the works at RiverChase. You might be tempted to think this is an “East Nashville problem,” or a “Somebody Else” problem. It’s NOT someone else’s problem.

What did we learn? The majority of residents want affordable housing, good jobs that prioritize locals, divers, inclusive spaces, and local businesses instead of mega corporations. Everyone wants more real community engagement!

This past year, SUN became the organization it was always meant to be. I can’t say “we’ve done more than I ever could have imagined,” because this is what I was imagining! Multiple battles fought on multiple fronts – all for the sake of our city’s people.

Our new report finds that Amazon’s housing fund could exacerbate inequality and not reach families in Nashville who need it most.

We are seeing some results from the Community Benefits Agreement — we’ve got JOBS!
We will tirelessly and courageously fight injustice and organize our community to take action.
