The Villa Maria Manor Expansion, a proposed 144-unit apartment project at 30 Whitebridge Road in Nashville's 37205 area, was denied Barnes Housing Trust Fund money this week. The project includes 58 affordable units.

The application requested $2 million from the fund. It ranked 10th of 11 eligible projects, scoring 122.6 of 169 points.

The commission rejected the funding motion on Oct. 27, 2026. The $3.5 million allocated in the round returns to the Barnes Fund for future rental projects. Round 17 is expected in 2027.

The application was separate from Park Center's withdrawn motel-conversion project, also considered in the same cycle.
