2025 Thrive Update
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff from the City’s Homeless Outreach Program and Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) Program will provide an overview of their recent activities and accomplishments, as well as highlight the newly launched Thrive Dashboard. Redmond Police Department will share a brief update on the status of the Mental Health Professional position and Alternative Response programming. Since the last report, the THRIVE team has continued developing and implementing the Community Health Program to strengthen coordination, referrals, and service delivery. Based on time constraints, this will be a brief update, and we will come back with a year-end THRIVE report in the first or second quarter of 2026.
