Omaràn
Chaplain. Native Nashvillian.
Doorbuster.
A reverend, Omaràn says the biggest issue facing our
community right now is access. And that need for
access has only been amplified since the pandemic
hit our community. He works at Nashville General
Hospital as the director of the Congregational Health
and Education Network, or CHEN. CHEN received more
than $100,000 from Metro CARES funding, managed
by United Way of Greater Nashville, to help families
who were struggling with mortgage, rent and
utility payments.
“Financial assistance has made a world of difference
for people being evicted and being foreclosed on,” he
says. “Just being able to take away some of the stress
of not being able to pay your bills so that you can worry
about being able to get food in the house or how to find
more stable work.”
