Rapid Resource Centers

The Rapid Resource Center is designed to support incarcerated residents and their families as they leave incarceration and return to the community, and to help address the causes and challenges that brought them into contact with the criminal justice system in the first place. The center’s peer-led staff can provide referrals and linkage to health, mental health, and addiction treatment services, as well as Narcan and fentanyl test strips and other harm reduction supplies. Visitors can also find help at the center with applying for benefits, obtaining a birth certificate or reinstating a drivers license, connecting with emergency food, shelter, or transportation, or even finding workforce training or help applying for a job.
