Immediate Needs Resources

When people come to the Bureau, many are already facing crisis-level situations. We hear every day from workers who are struggling with unsafe conditions, lost wages, discrimination, housing instability, food insecurity, and other urgent challenges. We know that waiting weeks or months for a claim or complaint to be processed can feel impossible when immediate needs are at stake.  

We recognize that time is a resource many people simply do not have. This page is meant to offer support you can access right now. These organizations provide emergency assistance, legal guidance, food and housing resources, mental health support, and other essential services statewide.
