Thurston County is putting a quarter-million dollars toward mental health and substance abuse, and it wants proposals from the public to fund through grants.

The Board of County Commissioners announced the funding from the Treatment Sales Tax Program, with grants going toward programs such as treatment services, case management, transportation and housing.

“Programs funded through the Treatment Sales Tax program offer valuable services throughout Thurston County,” Commission Chair Bud Blake said in a statement. “We are pleased to announce this funding opportunity to expand these critically important services in 2018.”



Proposals should fall between $30,000 and $100,000 and must be submitted by April 18. Grant proposals can be submitted at http://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/bocc/Pages/tst.aspx
