At the First Tennessee Human Resource Agency (FTHRA), our mission is simple: improve lives and strengthen communities across Northeast Tennessee.
Every day, our programs help older adults remain independent, connect individuals with transportation, support families facing food insecurity, prepare older workers for employment, mentor children, and provide pathways toward recovery and stability.
Behind every number is a person, a family, or a community whose life has been positively impacted.
Transportation is often the key to accessing healthcare, employment, education, and essential services.
