Since opening Thrive Center Tacoma in 2024, Thrive has become a vital resource for refugees, asylum-seekers, immigrants, and other newcomers experiencing housing instability and barriers to self-sufficiency in Tacoma and Pierce County.
Thrive provides housing stabilization, housing navigation, homelessness prevention, diversion services, rental assistance, case management, workforce support, English language instruction, financial literacy education, youth programming, and community integration services. Since launching operations in Tacoma, Thrive has served thousands Tacoma and Pierce County residents, helping newcomer households overcome barriers to housing, employment, language access, and community connection.
Thrive's multilingual staff provide services in Arabic, Dari, Farsi, French, Lingala, Nepali, Pashto, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Ukrainian, and other languages. Many staff members have lived experience as refugees or immigrants, allowing Thrive to provide culturally responsive services that build trust and reduce barriers to accessing support.
The organization maintains strong partnerships throughout Tacoma and Pierce County, including Tacoma Public Schools, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, Workforce Central, Tacoma Community House, Lutheran Community Services Northwest, local landlords and property managers, healthcare providers, faith communities, and refugee-serving organizations. These partnerships help connect participants to housing, employment, healthcare, education, and other essential services.
