About FTHRA

About us.

A 50-year nonprofit delivering nine social-service programs across eight Northeast Tennessee counties — chartered in 1974 under Tennessee state law.

In brief

Human Resource Agencies were established in 1973 under Tennessee state law as a not-for-profit delivery system designed to implement human services programs. The FTHRA was created in 1974 by state and local elected officials in accordance with the Tennessee Human Resource Agency Act of 1973 (Title 13, Chapter 26, Tennessee Code Annotated).

FTHRA is one of nine Human Resource Agencies across the State of Tennessee and works in concert with the other HRAs through membership in the Tennessee Association of Human Resource Agencies (TAHRA) in providing wall-to-wall social services across the state.
