| Description: | Stop by our Oak Ridge Branch anytime from August 18 - August 22, to visit a booth set up with information about Tennessee Out-Reach Center for Homeless (TORCH). This is an unstaffed booth with information available to learn more and reach out for additional information. TORCH opened its doors in January 2013 as the only comprehensive homeless service in Anderson County, TN. Because there is no shelter in the county, TORCH operates the Housing First model. Efforts are made to find affordable, sustainable housing as quickly as possible. If extra financial assistance is needed after an address is established and a client qualifies, an agreement may be made to assist for a predesigned amount and/or time. That plan is called “Shelter in the Future Home,” and it is found to be a much more cost-effective way to assist those we house in reaching self-sufficiency. The first step in future success is establishing a permanent address.
TORCH is a Community Partner of Tennessee Members 1st FCU. We're thankful to partner with various community organizations to spread the People Helping People mission outside of our branch walls and throughout the areas we serve by focusing on education, engagement, and growth.
