Why? The facilitated meeting brings the community together to discuss community needs and how we might address them.
New organizations have been formed as an outgrowth of the Conversation, such as the Kitsap Environmental Coalition and the Affordable Housing Working Group.
Kingston Cares is actively involved in identifying creative and entrepreneurial solutions to the homelessness crisis in our area.
Our Affordable Housing Committee works with other organizations in North Kitsap to address the issue of affordable housing and help transition people into homes.
We belong to the Kingston Affordable Housing Working Group, attending monthly meetings and figuring out ways in which we can lend our support to the issue of affordable housing in our community.
We provide monetary, supplies, and volunteer support to Kitsap Homes of Compassion which is a non-profit that opens homes for women and children, and homes for men that are affordable and fully furnished.
We are exploring options on how to use a generous gift of land to meet affordable housing needs.
