MATA (Memphis Area Transit Authority) Bus route
Section 8 apartments near the MATA Route 7 — Winchester / Hickory Hill
MATA Route 7 runs east from Downtown Memphis along Winchester Road through Fox Meadows and Hickory Hill, connecting the East Memphis high-density voucher corridor.
No source-of-income protection in effect
Memphis has a Fair Housing Ordinance that lists source of income as a protected class, BUT the ordinance has NO private right of action — only the City of Memphis Office of Fair Housing can enforce it, individual voucher-holders cannot sue. NAACP LDF's 2024 "Bad Housing Blues" report documents widespread ongoing SOI discrimination in Memphis despite the ordinance. Legal recourse for voucher-holders here is effectively minimal.
