‘Where can we safely exist?': Metro closes Old Tent City, but questions remain for those made to relocate
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — One of Nashville's oldest and largest homeless encampments has officially been closed. As of Tuesday, workers are still clearing out 'Old Tent City,' which has been a constant for people experiencing homelessness in Nashville near Anthes Drive since the 1980s. This is not the first time Metro has demolished the encampment, usually citing safety concerns, and advocates for the city's homeless population told News 2 it may not be the last. 'There's going to be a spillover from Tent City. All the folks that used to come to Tent City that are out on the streets are going to be going to other places,' Lindsey Krinks, Director of Advocacy at Open Table Nashville, said. APRIL | A future beyond Old Tent City: What's next for Nashville's largest homeless encampment after closure is complete? Krinks criticized the decision to close the site, saying Metro leaders haven't done enough to work on the underlying issues that cause homelessness. 'Section 8 vouchers are paused. The waiting lists are incredibly long and [obtaining] housing is incredibly difficult, so we keep echoing what we hear people saying on the streets again and again and again which is, 'Where can we go?' 'Where can we safely exist?'' Krinks said. Representatives for Metro's Office of Homeless Services were present at demolition Tuesday. While they declined an interview, the office provided a statement to News 2: 'The work of closing encampments is never simple — and it is never just about closing a location. The safety of the housed and unhoused neighbors as well as the commuter train passengers at the Anthes Drive location remain a priority. Thanks to your continued support and the collaboration of our community partners, we have made measurable progress at the Anthes Drive encampment. Below is a summary of outcomes from our collective efforts:81 individuals successfully moved into interim housing at the Rodeway location with 4 individuals transitioning out of Rodeway into PSH. 7 individuals moved into 95 Wallace. 1 individual referred to the VA and is now in PSH. 5 individuals moved into shared housing 2 individuals referred to TSA 4 individuals refused offered housing, reporting they had housing available in another state and committed to vacating Anthes Drive by 12:00 AM, June 2, 2025.48 pets were safely housed alongside their owners, ensuring families—human and animal—remained together. 35 pets moved to Roadway. 8 pets moved to shared housing. *One camp resident was successfully housed through our Low Barrier Housing Collective and was able to bring all 7 pets in the move. 4 pets moved to Wallace. 1 pet moved to site presented unique logistical barriers including unregistered vehicles, missing VINs, and lack of insurance. 3 campers were abandoned. 3 campers will be relocated with assistance from other Metro departments. While housing is a critical first step, long-term success depends on the continued availability of intensive supportive services. Our teams are working closely with providers to ensure that individuals placed into housing receive ongoing care, mental health support, employment assistance, and case management. Hospitality Hub and other community partners will provide ongoing intensive services. We encourage all viable candidates to apply for the Pallet Shelter RFP. ' Tennessee Representative Aftyn Behn (D-Nashville) said that while she acknowledges Metro's and some of her constituents' concerns regarding public safety in her district, she believes tearing down the encampment will only reinforce the cycle of homelessness in Nashville. RELATED: Metro Nashville intends to award up to 25 pallet shelters to community partners 'I'm really sad that it's come to this and my heart goes out to all of those who have had to vacate the camp,' Behn told News 2. 'At this moment in time, we are going to see unprecedented homelessness in this city and in this state. Federal funding cuts to HUD, to THDA — our housing authority in Tennessee — stagnated wages. I mean, there are all these economic variables that are contributing to homelessness in the cycle of homelessness in the city and none of that has been ameliorated. ' To tackle Nashville's homelessness problem, Metro is moving forward with a proposal to use pallet shelters or 'pods' for housing. The Mayor's Office said they plan to give out 25 pods to organizations in the community. The pods are equipped with beds, LED lighting, locked doors and safety features like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
