Maria Araguz has been living in Nashville since 1994. She has a family of six girls and in 2009 her family lost their home due to foreclosure. She was able to purchase another house in 2013, this time with the help of many community resources. She hopes her story will inspire others to educate themselves about different housing programs in Nashville, especially the Latino community because she feels that is a community that is less aware of the importance of a sustainable home.

La’Trya Gordon is a 19-year old Belmont University student. She attends college full-time under scholarship and is the parental guardian for her six-year old brother. La’Trya has worked and provided for her home since age 16. She hopes to complete college and have a better place to raise her brother. In her words she would like to stay in east Nashville. When we asked her about her American dream home, La’Trya expressed to live in a safe and secure environment. She wants to have a home in a safe neighborhood that supports a community environment and has close proximity to bike trails. Home means family for La’Trya. Having a safe family environment is her idea of home. #homemattersnash #sharehomeis bit.ly/latryag
