What is the Thurston County Resource Hub?

The Resource Hub, located in Olympia on-site at the Thurston County Courthouse Complex, is a drop-in resource center for people with behavioral health needs who are impacted by the justice system.

At the Resource Hub, we understand that life is complicated, and during tough times it can make a big difference to have someone to help navigate community resources that make life safer and more stable. If you need assistance with Behavioral Health, Employment and/or Education, Housing, Public Benefits, Healthcare, Legal Support, or something else, representatives from County, State, and community-based social service programs will be on-site at the Hub ready to help explore options for support.

At the Hub, we believe that by making connection to resources urgent and accessible, we can reduce repeat involvement in the justice system for individuals with behavioral health needs, and support the safety, health, and wellbeing of all Thurston County residents.
