City officials cut the ribbon today on the MAPS 4 Diversion Hub, a 35,575-square-foot facility that will provide comprehensive support services to people and families impacted by the criminal legal system.
With the new $19-million facility, Diversion Hub can expand its work to transform the City’s approach to the criminal legal system and relieve pressure on the Oklahoma County jail. Diversion Hub helps people navigate and exit the legal system while addressing needs to prevent future justice contact.
“In 2019, the voters of Oklahoma City made a statement that they wanted to see the power of MAPS impact an even broader spectrum of the human experience,” said Mayor David Holt. “In the MAPS 4 Diversion Hub, the people of Oklahoma City saw the opportunity to alter the trajectory of lives that were in crisis. The proposal to bring together a hub of services that could divert residents away from jail or prison was immediately recognized as a MAPS project that could impact our community for generations. The Diversion Hub will be a national model and the fact that our residents have made this investment with our own tax dollars is something that speaks volumes about this community.”
Programming offered through the Diversion Hub includes case management, justice navigation, recovery support, workforce assistance, emergency basic needs, assistance enrolling in benefits, housing navigation, family services, behavioral health and substance use services, civil legal assistance and education support. Partner agencies share space in the Diversion Hub and provide essential complementary services that improve life outcomes for clients and the community.
“This is a critical milestone for Diversion Hub and for Oklahoma,” said Meagan Taylor, chief executive officer of Diversion Hub. “System change happens when communities come together to realize a shared vision. What we are truly empowering our clients to achieve is economic and social mobility while increasing public safety.”
