Nashville – Volunteers from Turner Construction Company joined forces with Rebuilding Together Nashville (RTN) to provide essential home repairs for a retired resident living in the Dickerson Pike Corridor. This initiative is part of RTN’s ongoing commitment to improving the living conditions of community members in areas that have a pressing need for revitalization.
The project highlights the importance of corporate social responsibility, as Turner contributed valuable expertise, volunteer labor, and financial investment to support RTN’s mission of ensuring safe and healthy housing for all individuals. This collaboration is designed to address the home maintenance issues that can endanger the welfare of residents.
The homeowner, a senior citizen, expressed her gratitude for the assistance she received during this renovation. She cherishes her home and values the stability that comes with owning her own space. Concerned about the escalating safety and maintenance problems in her residence, she sought help through Rebuilding Together’s Safe and Healthy Home Improvement Program (SHHIP).
In coordination with contractors, RTN is making significant upgrades to the homeowner’s dwelling. The renovations include replacing damaged flooring and modernizing the kitchen and bathroom. Specifically, Turner’s support encompasses a range of activities, such as removing old carpeting, clearing out outdated furniture, painting the kitchen area, installing a new comfort-height toilet, and assisting with spring landscaping and cleanup efforts.
This partnership not only aids the immediate needs of the homeowner but also contributes to RTN’s broader mission of ensuring that local residents have safe and healthy living conditions. The involvement of Turner’s volunteers embodies a commitment to community service while addressing critical housing issues faced by those who are often unable to afford necessary repairs.

Through partnerships with corporations like Turner, RTN is able to amplify its impact and reach more residents in need.
In recent years, the Dickerson Pike Corridor has been identified as an area requiring significant revitalization efforts due to socioeconomic challenges. The collaboration between Turner and RTN not only improves the living conditions for individual residents but also contributes to the overall improvement of the neighborhood’s quality of life.
