Who We Are

Mike SmithSouthwest Human Resource Agency continues its long history of being the premier Community Services delivery organization in West Tennessee.

We are an Agency that continues to establish and maintain an outstanding reputation for quality human services to West and Central Tennessee communities. Our growth and success is due to our desire and commitment to serving our customer’s needs, whether that be Community Outreach services, providing Head Start for 3 and 4 year old children, providing public transportation, offering assistance for energy needs, lending a helping hand for youth, dislocated, and adult workers, or assisting our senior population with basic needs.

I certainly appreciate our dedicated employees who are to be commended for accepting the challenge of improving the services we offer.

I trust that you will take a few moments to explore our website and discover how we are making a difference in people’s lives in Southwest Tennessee.
