Resource Center
Resource Center Vision
The Siuslaw Area Resource Center Planning Committee and the SOS Board of Directors believes that the health of a community can be measured, in part, by the resources it provides to its citizens. We recognize the need for a new facility or one-site campus to enhance the delivery of current social services and provide increased assistance to low-income individuals and families in need. The facility will house human services agencies that share a similar vision and are complementary in purpose. Centralizing resources will give clients easy access to a multitude of programs which address immediate needs, provide support and encourage self-sufficiency. The facility will also serve as a place for area non-profits to come together for training, coordination and collaboration to further enhance the well-being of the community.
In addition to providing direct services to community members in need or crisis, the site will serve to honor the Indigenous people. We recognize the land this facility sits on was once belonging to the people of the Siuslaw Tribe. To respect that history, we have partnered with the Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua & Siuslaw Indians to honor the tribe by promoting their culture and for their stewardship of the land. Signage in the building will be in English, Spanish, Brail, and Siuslaw. Patrons of the facility will be able to scan a QR Code to hear the language and learn about their culture. Artwork by tribe members will also be on display within the building.
