Hard Bargain Association is a small nonprofit in the construction sector based in Franklin, Tennessee, focused on the Hard Bargain neighborhood, a historic African American community. As a grassroots organization, it repairs existing homes, provides affordable homes for purchase, and enhances public spaces to support a stable, prideful neighborhood. Its work aims to restore the current community while safeguarding against gentrification and preserving the area's character. The organization relies on donated services and materials, volunteer labor, and financial contributions to carry out its programs, targeting residents who have not yet achieved home ownership. In 2019, Hard Bargain Association received a Heritage Preservation award recognizing the Historic Hard Bargain Neighborhood. The group operates with a small team and coordinates community-focused construction and restoration activities in Franklin.
