The Hispanic Family Foundation and the Red Cross teamed up to help the families fill out paperwork and find affordable housing. Diane Janbakhsh, the executive director of the Hispanic Family Foundation, said the focus is now on helping victims recover.

“Hopefully, as the community continues to contribute to their relocation, we can place them in new homes. This week I would love to do that and my wish is that by the end of this next week everyone will be in a new apartment and new And they can start their journey toward that healing and be rehomed and just start fresh,” she said.

The Nashville Fire Department said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
