Mesa County Public Libraries and Mesa County Public Health are excited to announce their collaboration to support residents in Mesa County when it comes to accessing resources in the community. Resource Navigators are now stationed at the Central Library located at 443 N 6th Street in downtown Grand Junction. 

“Access to services can be complicated, and accessing those services could mean the difference between achieving economic stability or worrying about putting food on the table,” said Grand Valley Connects Manager Michelle Trujillo. “Our Resource Navigators will help anyone in Mesa County who needs support.”

These positions are funded by a grant from the Behavioral Health Administration with the Colorado Department of Human Services.

 

Availability

The Resource Navigators will be available Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.  This excludes county recognized holidays. Appointments are not needed for an initial visit, however walk-ins will be on a first come, first served basis.
