GALLATIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Each year, more refugees are calling Tennessee home as they look to resettle with a better way of life. One Nashville organization is expanding with the purpose to help even more people. The Nashville International Center for Empowerment, also known as NICE, has been helping refugees in the mid state for almost 20 years. Now they've expanded with a new office in Gallatin that officially opened on Thursday and will be able to serve 50 refugees in its first year. NICE will support them by finding housing, employment, and access to social services and providing case management to help them reach economic self-sufficiency.
