PIVOT TN is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to creating positive change in the lives of those facing resource shortages in our community. We uphold the belief that every citizen, regardless of socioeconomic status, possesses value and can contribute to this mission. In collaboration with other local organizations, PIVOT TN provides essential support, including alternative transportation solutions, transitional housing for young adults, and access to mental health resources, to help our fellow community members overcome personal challenges and thrive.

• Meeting basic necessities such as food and housing is essential before individuals can address other critical needs. When these foundational needs are satisfied, the entire community benefits.

• A person's health is influenced by various social factors, including housing, food availability, education, income, and job security. By addressing these issues, we not only enrich the lives of individuals but also enhance the community as a whole.

• Community expenses related to policing and incarceration are often linked to the lack of resources among its members. Similarly, healthcare costs and hospital readmissions can be reduced when individuals have access to the necessary resources.

• Building strong communities starts with fostering individual dignity and empowerment. Supporting these values is not just beneficial—it is the right thing to do.

At PIVOT TN, we start with the individual. By addressing essential needs such as housing and transportation, we empower individuals to focus on achieving personal goals and navigating life's challenges. Our model is designed to support each person throughout their unique journey.
