kc-logo-color-filled-white_original
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. — Under the direction of the Washington Department of Commerce, the Housing and Homelessness Division of Kitsap Count [ [link removed] ]y is seeking public comment on its new five-year Homeless Housing Plan [ [link removed] ]. This comprehensive initiative aims to make homelessness a rare, brief, and one-time occurrence in Kitsap County through an efficient and effective homeless response system.
"Every resident deserves a safe and stable place to call home. This plan helps to identify the current gaps and improvements to the system, along with targeted strategies to better serve our community's most vulnerable members," said the County's Housing and Homelessness Program Manager Carl Borg.
A committee met several times throughout the year to review the current plan and develop updated strategies. During that time, three community surveys were conducted seeking information from the community, providers, and those with lived experience. Now, the County is actively seeking community comment on the plan, as it will guide how local funding is allocated over the next five years.
Last updated in 2019, the current Homeless Crisis Response and Housing Plan has provided a strong foundation for the County's efforts to address homelessness.
