Rentry Services
At Tennessee Prison Outreach Ministry, we believe everyone deserves a second chance. Just as God gives us chance after chance to turn our lives around, we offer reentry services designed to support returning citizens as they transition back into society. With your help, we can provide the tools for success—empowering individuals to make the most of their new beginning and create brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Nashville Transitional Homes
We have two beautiful transitional facilities in Nashville for both men and women leaving incarceration.
The men’s home in Nashville accommodates 16 residents and the women’s home can accommodate 20 residents. We also have a step down unit for men in Nashville.
We are a partner in Memphis with HopeWorks as they have a new 20 bed facility. We will be glad to make a referral or you can contact them directly.
All TPOM homes have the approval of the Tennessee Department of Corrections. You can download a pdf of our application, print and scan back to dnelson@tpom.org for consideration.

Career Support
Finding meaningful work and securing stable employment are key steps toward successful reentry. Our reentry center offers job readiness programs, educational workshops, and vocational training to equip participants with the skills they need to thrive. With our strong network of employer connections, we help over 90% of our members secure a job within just 10 days. We encourage felony-friendly employers who value a strong work ethic and commitment to success to partner with us. Together, we can provide returning citizens the opportunity to make a positive impact while strengthening your workforce.

Licensed Mental Health Services
Successful reentry is about more than just securing a job—it’s about healing, growth, and rebuilding relationships. That's why we provide individual, marital, and family counseling to all residents and their loved ones, supporting their emotional and mental well-being. As a state-certified mental health provider, we offer professional, compassionate services to help individuals address past trauma and build stronger relationships as they transition back into society.
04
Case Management
Our case management services are designed to support residents every step of the way as they prepare for life after our program. We assist with essential tasks like obtaining proper identification, securing clothing, and setting up bank accounts, ensuring that each individual is ready to take on the world with confidence. We also make sure our residents have access to necessary medical and dental care, helping them address their health needs.
05
Individual Mentoring
At TPOM, we believe in the power of personal connections. As Proverbs 27:17 says, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another,' our residents have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a caring mentor who will walk alongside you on your journey. Whether through TPOM or other trusted organizations, our mentors are dedicated to supporting your spiritual, mental, and social growth. With their guidance, you'll gain the strength and confidence you need to thrive as you step into a new chapter of your life.

Christian Community
We are committed to building a strong Christian community where all are welcome. Every Sunday, we gather at the reentry center for a time of fellowship, starting with a shared meal followed by worship. This time is dedicated to spiritual renewal and connection. We invite churches to partner with us by providing meals for this gathering. As Scripture says in Hebrews 10:24-25, 'Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.' Through these shared moments, we believe we strengthen both our faith and our bonds.
