For refugees to go from knowing no one and having limited resources to becoming vital members of their new communities, it takes the involvement of many stakeholders. The Tennessee Office for Refugees (TOR) understands that successful resettlement depends on strong community engagement. That’s why we partner with local communities to share information, connect resources, and foster the networks that help refugees thrive.
Partner Resettlement Agencies
TOR partners with six resettlement agencies – two in Memphis, three in Nashville, and one with offices in Knoxville and Chattanooga. Potential clients may contact their local affiliate for assistance in enrolling in one of the TOR-funded programs they offer.
