Key takeaway Lisa Beverly, with the Metro Action Commission, said residents who are 60 or older, have a child 5 or under, or have certain medical conditions can apply online to receive a unit.
Why this matters in The Nashville
The Metro Action Commission's free air conditioning unit program is a crucial service for vulnerable Davidson County residents, particularly during Nashville 's sweltering summer months. With high temperatures expected to continue, the demand for these units will likely remain high, making the commission's proactive approach to ordering additional units a wise decision. The fact that 42 units have already been distributed as of June 26, surpassing last year's pace, underscores the need for such programs in the community. As the program runs through August, it will be important to monitor the commission's ability to keep up with demand, especially if the summer heat waves persist. The option for residents to donate unused units or contribute financially will also be key in helping the commission meet the needs of eligible residents, including seniors, young families, and those with certain medical conditions.
