## Resource

Thurston County just approved $15 million for homeless services across 49 contracts with 17 nonprofits, covering all major cities including Olympia and Tumwater — but not without drama. A last-minute delay sparked tension when Tumwater pushed for clarity from the Regional Housing Council, fearing harm to vulnerable residents. After a special council meeting clarified concerns, commissioners rushed to approve the funding the next day — just in time to avoid service disruptions. Moving forward, they’re committed to streamlining the approval process to prevent future chaos and protect those who rely on these vital resources.
