Kitsap:
by Sue Hughes
The LWV of Kitsap recently held a community education forum on the growing homelessness crisis in Kitsap and many other areas of the state. The objective was threefold: present the true face of homelessness, describe the several projects underway to provide transitional and permanent affordable housing and encourage participants to volunteer with agencies who serve the homeless.
LWV Kitsap’s forum, Where Are You Sleeping Tonight?, attracted a full house of people of all ages eager to learn about efforts to reduce homelessness in Kitsap County.
