CARDBOARD CITY - Cheatham County Homeless Awareness Day

CHEATHAM COUNTY HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS DAY

Cardboard City is a campaign to create awareness of homelessness in Cheatham County.

WHAT:

Cardboard City is an annual event for young and old to raise awareness about homelessness in Cheatham County. More than 100 children are registered as experiencing homelessness in our county each year. Most families, when they lose their home, have to leave the county due to a lack of affordable housing in Cheatham County. Domestic Violence is a major contributor to homelessness.
