INTUNITY HOMES RECEIVES $537K TENNESSEE HOUSING TRUST FUND GRANT FROM THDA
Intunity Homes was recently awarded a Tennessee Housing Trust Fund grant in the amount of $536,974 from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). This grant will enable the West Tennessee-based nonprofit to build three new modular homes in the Jackson, Tennessee area to serve persons with disabilities and older adults.
Intunity seeks to provide affordable housing that is technology-rich and designed to enhance the quality of life for its valued tenants.
“Our meaningful partnership with THDA continues to positively impact daily life for adults we serve with intellectual and physical disabilities,” says Earle Schwarz, executive director of Intunity Homes. “We believe that better homes lead to better lives, and this generous grant will help significantly increase the tenant population we are able to serve throughout West Tennessee.”
Intunity’s vision is to enhance the quality of life for people with intellectual, physical and/or developmental disabilities by providing exceptional housing in comfortable neighborhoods at below-market rental rates. The nonprofit currently owns 26 homes in Shelby County, 14 homes in Madison County and serves a tenant population of approximately 70 individuals. In 2023, Intunity’s board of directors adopted a new strategic plan calling for the nonprofit to shift from purchasing existing homes to designing and building new homes with the goal of increasing Intunity’s tenant population to at least 100 persons. As such, Intunity will own and maintain single-family homes that are designed to accommodate the special needs of physically and/or intellectually challenged individuals; are energy-efficient and technology-rich.
“Simply, this grant makes it possible for us to serve more tenants with three new durable, modular homes that allow for optimal efficiency, minimal maintenance and a greater sense of independence that our valued residents will benefit from daily,” says Schwarz.
