Davidson County Emergency Winter Housing Assistance Program (EWHAP) Official website of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

Important: At my direction, @nashville.gov has allocated $750,000—and the Titans have contributed $250,000
—to an Emergency Winter Housing Assistance Program to help people impacted by Winter Storm Fern with housing payments.

Let’s keep people in housing.

Okay but much more reliable sources are telling me that was Giancarlo Guerrero conducting. 👀

I was told that @sandrafornash.bsky.social would be skydiving in to join the dancers. 💃

Apparently, my sources were unreliable.

I had Terrell Jennings on my fantasy team for a week. Total disappointment.

Rob Lowe, wearing an NFL hat and supporting the shield and his love of the game of American football, torn between the expression of loyalty to any team versus love of seeing everyone do their best, but also wondering if he should’ve gone full Elon and worn an NFLPA hat on top of his NFL hat.

We’re fully preempted on this (meaning we have zero regulatory authority).

This is crazy.

I’ll be spending some time with Hands On this afternoon canvassing in Bordeaux.

We’re getting people set up to get trees cleared to the curb and check on storm-related needs.

If you have needs, call 211 or visit nashvilleresponds.org.

If you can volunteer, please do! More shifts Sat.
