Thurston County Opens Funding for Mental Health, Lake Management

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Thurston County Public Health & Social Services Department is seeking proposals for two open funding opportunities. The Behavioral Health Community Grant offers $375,000 for 2026 and $375,000 for 2027 to support local mental health and substance use services. Applications are due November 30, 2025. The Environmental Health Division is also seeking bids for algae control at Lake Lawrence, with a September 2, 2026 deadline for proposals. These grants will fund services and projects that address community needs. The mental health funding supports programs that maintain or enhance local services. The Lake Lawrence project requires a licensed contractor to manage algae control while following environmental regulations.
