The Kingston Shelter System

During normal operations, Kingston Cares partners with the Village Green Community Center and Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management, and Housing and Homelessness organizations to provide shelter for the homeless in our community during periods of inclement weather.

Village Green provides the building and space for the emergency shelter.
Kitsap County trains shelter volunteers and determines when the shelter will be open.
Kingston Cares schedules the volunteers and sets up the shelter when activated by Kitsap County.
