The Village at Glencliff’s mission is to provide a dignified, loving, and hospitable medical respite/
bridge housing community for our most vulnerable friends experiencing homelessness in
Nashville in an effort to meet each individual’s most basic needs so that they are empowered to focus on healing and permanent supportive housing.
The story of The Village at Glencliff began over ten years ago when four individuals came
together in the wake of the devastating 2010 Nashville flood to found Open Table Nashville to
advocate for housing for people experiencing homelessness who had been displaced by flooding. One of these individuals, Rev. Ingrid McIntyre, felt called to also create a unique model
of respite care. Her vision was to create a post-hospitalization space to heal for the people she
encountered every day trying to survive on Nashville’s streets, in alleyways, among underpasses, and in parks. Glencliff United Methodist Church donated a portion of their land to make it possible.
