Today, over 136 families in Kitsap County are currently waiting for emergency shelter. Over 60% of those families are headed by females as head of their household. Many are living in cars, tents, or making arrangements on a day-by-day basis. Shelter housing for families is hard to find in Kitsap County.

             The former Youth Home facility is being converted into a Residential Emergency Shelter for homeless mothers and their children. The Project, spear headed by the Department of Personnel and Human Services in partnership with Kitsap Community Resources and One Church � One Family, is intended to reach out to those in need and provide refuge in a storm of uncertainty.

Contact Che Che to make arrangement to pick up large furnishing including bunk beds and bed sets by calling 360-337-7185, extension 3530.

Donations may be brought to Buckley & Buckley Real Estate in
