Defining Sheltered vs. Unsheltered
For the purposes of this survey, information is collected on
sheltered (in emergency shelter or transitional housing) vs.
unsheltered homelessness. In the 2023 count, 245 people
said they were unsheltered. The majority of those who were
unsheltered indicated they lived outside in places not meant
for human habitation.
Characteristics
When asked about various personal characteristics, 142
unsheltered heads of households (68%) responded. The most
common response from survey participants was that they
experienced challenges related to mental health, followed by
chronic substance use, permanent disability, and chronic health
conditions.

2023 Kitsap County Point in Time Count Overview – Preliminary Data
The “Point in Time” count is an annual survey that gathers information about people experiencing homelessness during a 24-hour period at the end
of January. This survey provides critical information regarding the scope and nature of homelessness in our community and can impact funding for
homeless housing and services. Because participating in the survey is voluntary, and relies on volunteers finding people experiencing homelessness,
it is considered to be an undercount of the actual number of people experiencing homelessness. Participants are surveyed in a number of locations
throughout the county including the Project Connect Resource Fairs[1], food banks/meal sites, in encampments, and on the streets.
Last Place of Residence
Surveys also collected information about the last city of
permanent residence, and 27% of unsheltered households
provided this data. 42 (75%) of those households previously
had stable housing in Kitsap County.
Increasing Numbers of Unsheltered Individuals
The 2023 count of 245 unsheltered individuals indicates an 34%
increase from 2022 and a 23% increase from the prior highest
count of 199 in the year 2020. Note that additional shelter beds
were in operation during from 2021-2023. The unsheltered count
was not performed in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic*.
Causes of Homelessness
When asked about the specific cause (or causes) of
homelessness, 113 unsheltered households (54%) responded.
The most common response was health issues (including
mental health), economic issues (loss of job or unable to
work) and housing issues (eviction or loss of housing).
Current City
Efforts were made to survey widely across Kitsap County where
households experiencing homelessness were anticipated to be
encountered. Participants experiencing unsheltered
homelessness (210 households, 245 individuals) were surveyed
in the following locations throughout the county.

Kitsap County’s response and strategies to homelessness and the housing crisis
Kitsap County’s ongoing efforts to address a growing homeless and housing crisis, including challenging
issues with unauthorized encampments on public property, focuses on a comprehensive response.
County Commissioners and staff have developed a strategy leveraging community partnerships; the
investment of local, state and federal funds; data gathering and reporting; and coordination of mental
health, substance-abuse and employment services. The goal is to support a housing crisis response
system that makes homelessness rare, brief, and one-time.
Homeless encampment clean-up and prevention
Encampment Response Policy – In December 2021, County Commissioners approved a new
Encampment Response Policy, outlining specific steps and coordination to govern the County’s approach
to addressing encampments. It specifically directs County departments, other public agencies, and
community non-profit social service providers how to coordinate efforts in responding to encampments
while adhering to current legal requirements.
HEART Coordinator – In April of 2022 the County hired a Homeless Encampment Action & Response
Team (HEART) Coordinator, a new full-time position dedicated specifically to encampment response and
responsible for implementing the response policy, coordinating groups and resources, and directing
clean-up efforts.
Encampment outreach team – The County is contracting with the Housing Solutions Center through
Kitsap Community Resources for an additional two-person encampment outreach team to work closely
with the HEART Coordinator, providing consistent and timely outreach to people living in encampments
and other outdoor locations. The outreach team will focus on connecting people with shelter referrals,
housing programs, and other resources.
REAL Team Outreach Teams - Recovery, Empowerment, Advocacy, and Linkage (R.E.A.L) Teams serve
700+ people in Kitsap. 88% of regional referrals responded to in 0-15 minutes.
Kitsap Recovery Center Detox/Inpatient Outreach – Work with the HEART Team and other navigators
to get people into rehab now.
SALISH Rental Assistance – Increased from $500,000 to $1,200,000 in 2023.
Increased shelter beds – Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, the County has continually
supported an additional shelter beds, operated by the Kitsap Rescue Mission and the Salvation Army.
This increased shelter bed capacity has provided more than 750 individuals with shelter during the
pandemic. Funding to keep beds operational will continue through the end of 2024 to provide
accommodations as people are moved out of encampments and off the streets.
Hotel voucher program – The County is contracting with Kitsap Community Resources for a hotel
voucher program to expand the number of alternatives to immediately house people currently living
outdoors who can’t be accommodated with the limited shelter beds available. The program will include
intensive case management and support services to assist people in moving from these brief hotel stays
to permanent housing. The County also designated an additional $2 million for rental and deposit
assistance towards this effort.
Mile Hill temporary housing program – After purchasing a large building on Mile Hill Drive in South
Kitsap, the County is working on renovations and expects to open the facility by 2024. The new shelter
will provide 75 beds for 24/7 temporary housing with supportive services on-site for people staying in
the housing program. Kitsap Rescue Mission will operate the site through a contract with the County.
Services offered are anticipated to include meals, laundry, showers, mental health appointments,
substance abuse treatment referrals, medical appointments, employment assistance, and connections
with benefits.
Permanent supportive housing – Recognizing that many people who are currently living in
encampments need long-term housing assistance and permanent supportive services, the County (and
many other funders and social service partners) is supporting Pendleton Place, a new 72-unit housing
complex targeted to people with severe and persistent mental health and substance-use disorders that
might otherwise be experiencing homelessness.
Job placement and development – Job development, training and placement through Olympic
Workforce Development One Stop centers.
Veterans Park restoration – Partnering with the non-profit group Northwest Hospitality. In total, 300
Northwest Hospitality volunteers have contributed close to 1,000 hours and cleared out over 56,000
pounds of trash at the park and a smaller team of 23 volunteers has put in 130 hours, gathering over
27,000 pounds of trash during weekly maintenance events that began in November 2021. The County
hired a clean-up and hauling company, Layland Construction, to supplement the volunteer work and
haul away the waste.
Responding to Kitsap’s housing crisis
• Preventing homelessness – Kitsap County’s housing crisis response is coordinated to increase
housing stability by providing eviction prevention through rental and utility assistance, creating
more temporary housing and lowering barriers for people to move into permanent, affordable,
supportive housing.
Helping people stay in their homes is a vital part of Kitsap County’s strategy. During the pandemic,
the Kitsap Eviction Prevention Assistance Program distributed $24.4 million to help keep people in
their homes and an additional $30 million is allocated through September 2023. From September
2020 through July 2022, nearly 3,328 households were served with an average distribution of $7,352
in rental assistance and utilities assistance per household.
• Increasing affordable housing inventory – With the new affordable housing 1/10th of 1 percent
sales tax Commissioners approved in January, the County can provide significant funding for the
construction and acquisition of housing to support families and individuals whose income is below
60 percent of the area median income. This can also be used to leverage additional funding from
state and federal governments. Collection of the tax begins April 1, 2022.
Households with the greatest needs are assisted
Equity outcomes and benchmarks
Updated: 03/21/2023
The KEPA program promotes equity in who is served and focuses
on populations that historically have not been provided equitable
access to rent assistance, and those populations most impacted
by the COVID‐19 pandemic. This includes ethnic and racial
minorities, LGBTQ+, people with mental health or substance
issues, people with limited English proficiency, and other people
who may not have access to supports.
To reach these underserved and diverse populations, several
outreach organizations assisted in targeted outreach within their
communities to directly assist with applying for assistance.
Funding for this program includes a requirement to meet or
exceed benchmarks based upon equitable access among these
populations. Kitsap County far exceeded these requirements to
work towards racial equity.
Qualifying households must qualify by: meeting income limits (at
or below 50% AMI); be at risk of homelessness or experiencing
housing instability; and have a financial hardship directly or
indirectly due to COVID‐19 which threatens the ability to pay rent
due.
70% of households served have incomes
less that 30% Area Median Income
Including rent, utilities, and other
allowable housing costs, an average
total amount of $8,031 of assistance has
been provided per qualifying household.
Households were provided with an average of
7 months of assistance
Households that are assisted by the KEPA program have been
provided with an average number of 7 months of rent assistance.
The average amount of rent provided was $1,091 per month.
KEPA rent assistance is able to pay for rent due, with limits of up
to 150% of Fair Market Rent (FMR) for qualifying households for
rent owed to the landlord.
Between September 2020 – February 2023, a total of 3,887 Kitsap
County households have been provided a combined total of over
$31.2 million dollars of rent and utility assistance, paid to
landlords and utility providers to prevent eviction.
Over $31.2 million in rent assistance provided Over $31.2 million in unpaid rental
assistance paid to landlords for 3,887
most vulnerable low‐income households
at risk of eviction
KEPA funds are targeted toward households most likely to
become homeless after eviction in Kitsap County. Qualifying
households must be at or below 50% of Area Median Income
(AMI), AND have at least 1 month of unpaid rent.
Kitsap Eviction Prevention Assistance (KEPA) – Data Summary
Report Date Range: September 1, 2020 ‐ February 28, 2023
The COVID‐19 pandemic has impacted many families and has led to an unprecedented number of households being behind on rent. In response to this need, federal,
state and local policy makers have appropriated funding for rent assistance to pay back rent, utilities, and some future rent to help people stay housed.
Kitsap County was granted emergency Eviction Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) in Sept 2020, and Treasury Rental Assistance Program (T‐RAP) funding from the WA
Dept. of Commerce in April 2021. In addition, Kitsap County applied directly to the Treasury Eviction Rent Assistance program (Treasury ERA). These funds were granted
for the purpose of supporting activities that will reduce the likelihood of eviction among low income households, with a focus on ensuring that historically underserved
populations have information about and access to this resource.
In Kitsap County the KEPA program relies on several community partners. These partners consists of rent assistance distribution organizations (Kitsap Community
Resources, Housing Kitsap, Bremerton Housing Authority, The Coffee Oasis, and the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe) and 6 outreach partner organizations (House of
Refuge/Hope360, Gather Together Grow Together (G2G2), Foundation for Homeless & Poverty Management, Mt Zion Church/PYA, Surviving Change, and Kitsap
Immigrant Assistance Center).42.5%15.9%3.7%1

Affordable Housing Grant Program
Consolidated Homeless Grant
Affordable Housing Grant Program funds are authorized by the Washington
State legislature and are collected through a fee on certain transactions
recorded at the Auditor’s Office.
These grant funds are distributed through a competitive process to Kitsap
organizations that provide affordable housing in a variety of ways, including
shelters, transitional housing, and substance use recovery housing. For more
information on the grant process please visit:
https://www.kitsapgov.com/hs/Pages/HH-Coordinated-Grant-Application-
Process.aspx
The authorizing legislation defines the allowable use of funds as: operations
and maintenance support for existing affordable housing, acquisition, rehab,
or development of new affordable housing, rental assistance voucher
programs, and support for overnight shelters. With such a small annual
total, in Kitsap the funding has been prioritized to fund operations and
maintenance.
Homeless Housing Grant Program funds are authorized by the Washington
State legislature and are collected through a fee on certain transactions
recorded at the Auditor’s Office.
These grant funds are distributed through a competitive process to Kitsap
housing programs and social service providers working to implement the
strategies and action steps identified in the Kitsap Homeless Crisis
Response and Housing Plan.
The Kitsap Homeless Crisis Response and Housing Plan outlines five goals
for addressing homelessness (listed on the following pages). Each goal
includes specific strategies and action steps. The Plan is available at
https://www.kitsapgov.com/hs/Pages/HH-Homeless-Crisis-Response-and-
Housing-Plan.aspx
The Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG) program is funded through the
portion of document recording fees that are not retained locally and are
transmitted to the Washington State Department of Commerce. Commerce
distributes these funds back to counties through contracts for specific
homeless housing and services. These grant funds are administered by the
Division and sub-contracted to eligible service providers. The funds are
governed by Commerce’s CHG Guidelines.
The Housing and Essential Needs (HEN) program provides access to
essential needs items and rental assistance for low-income individuals who
are unable to work for at least 90 days due to a physical and/or mental
incapacity and are ineligible for Aged, Blind, or Disabled (ABD) cash
assistance. While DSHS/CSD determines eligibility for the referral to the
HEN program, actual eligibility for rental assistance and essential needs
items is determined by the Department of Commerce through a network of
homeless service providers.

A single mom of two children left a severe DV situation.
She was staying at a shelter when her application was
selected for KCR Transitional Housing. She was income
quali ed, leased up, and moved in on the same day. Later
that day, KCR employees helped her locate free furniture
and moved it into the apartment for her. The client's kids
were visiting their grandparents on move-in day, and
when they returned, she was able to surprise them with a
new, safe home. Her case manager is currently working on
getting her connected to KCR's Early Learning and Family
Services for preschool and childcare, DV support services,
and is helping to get a protection order in place.
Ashley came to the Stella Maris house in need childcare,
employment, affordable housing, and assistance with move-in
costs. Ashley's immediate needs were healthcare a dental
appointment for her child. The Stella Maris case manager
assisted Ashley in obtaining healthcare for herself and booking
appointments for her and her child. Ashley's desired line of work
was reception or an of ce environment, she quickly found work
at a local business working in their main of ce. Once the schedule
was determined for her new employment, a childcare subsidy
became available to Ashley. Ashley put her child into a temporary
daycare until a daycare closer to her employment had an
opening. Ashley is still searching for housing but has successfully
established herself in her new job.

Services Grant Recommendation Committee Funding Recommendations
If less funding is available, split the available funding in the same proportion as the 2024 funding was awarded to agencies.
If more funding is available, split the available funding in the same proportion as the 2024 funding was awarded to agencies.
Conditional Funding: In some cases, the Grant Recommendation Committee reocommends funding being relseased to the agency only if the agency
meets specific conditions. The following conditions are recommended for the 2024 awards:
Northwest Hospitality: Funds to be released upon the submission of a screening tool and processs for direct applicants (not referred from a homeless
services agency).
Contigencies:
Total Funding Recommendations are made up of both Affordable Housing Grant funds and Homeless Housing Grant funds. In the 2024 NOFA, agencies
were able to request both types of funds for different purposes in a single application. Both funding sources will be included in a single contract for each
program, but will be tracked separately.
The minimum grant award amount is $10,000; there is no maximum award amount.
These funding recommendations are for two years of funding at the indicated amount. Contracts will be for a single year of funding, with a second year
of funding at the same level through a renewal process and contract extension, unless there are any contract performance issues or a change in funds
available. Any changes in the amount of funds available will be address through the contigncies noted below.

stakeholders, this contract modification (in the amount of $871,839.76) includes development of
engineering design, right-of -way, bid, and construction engineering support services for the preferred
alternative. The estimated cost of the preferred alternative was determined to be similar to the
previously scoped improvements and generally includes construction of a shared use sidepath along
Almira Drive in lieu of on-street bike lanes. With approval of this supplement, engineering design will
commence in December 2023 with additional public outreach to occur in 2024. Based on funding
awarded from WSDOT, construction funding for the project will be available in late 2025.

Subject: Low cost Engineering for 6th Street
:
City Council,
In my opinion, the higher the 6th Street engineering planning cost, the worse.
Expensive engineering planning is necessary if we plan to break concrete, widen streets, and mover
sewer drains and telephone poles. All that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to plan and millions
more to build, and requires a grant that may be many years off.
Instead, let's come up with a low-cost option similar to these engineering drawings. The drawings are
not fully detailed (aka 'cartoons' as Director Knuckey said). But those cartoons outline a real, PW-created
plan to make the street safer by simply adding paint to the street.
Turning the 'cartoons' into real engineering drawings should be relatively inexpensive and quick.
Construction (which need break no concrete) would be inexpensive enough to be funded for less than
the cost of the City match on a multi-million dollar project.
If there's any extra money, please consider inexpensive protection for cyclists/pedestrians like this
intersection from a recent PDX road diet (Rosa Parks @ I-5)
Street safety need not be expensive and we need not wait years and years for it to happen. Let's be
awesome and get it done!
Thank you,
Travis Merrigan

Subject: Homelessness response and 2024 Budget comments
Hello Mayor Wheeler and City Council,
I am writing to follow-up on last week's City Council meeting around the 2024 budget and public
comments around the homelessness crisis in Kitsap, specifically to address comments made that
solutions were not being offered.
I have spent significant time and effort, as many others have, sending multiple emails to Mayor Wheeler
and City Council, and making multiple public comments offering specific feedback and
recommendations for consideration. Aside from a mass email response sent to all commenters on one
or two occasions, I have not had any responses. Many emails and comments included specific
suggestions for consideration and included evidence-based interventions, including links, and I try my
best to include actionable suggestions in my 2-3 minute public comments as well, but there is a lot to try
and say in that short time, and speaking in public! I understand not each of us can be responded to, but
it is extremely disheartening to hear, multiple times over multiple council sessions, that solutions are
not being offered when they are. If these are off base, please, someone, take the time to tell us that.
Also disheartening, I submitted a Call to Action created by Rock the Block and community advocates,
now signed by over 200 people in less than a week, that included specific solutions supported by
constituents and Kitsap residents alike. I received a confirmation email that my Call to Action email and
attachment would be included in the 11/1 packet for item 6B, but it was not, so I am re-attaching it
again here.
I am also recapping the various suggestions I have made for City Council and City Administration
consideration here, and added specific links to peer-reviewed data, national organizations, and local
work, to hopefully offer meaningful public input on proposed options for City Council to consider as they
review the 2024 budget and 2024 priorities. The first 3 are items highlighted in the attached Call to
Action that failed to be included in last week's packet.
1. Declare homelessness an emergency. I have heard concern from council and other government
officials that this will not accomplish anything because it didn't work for Seattle. However,
Bremerton/Kitsap is not Seattle, and many cities and counties more similar to Bremerton/Kitsap have
successfully used emergency declarations to expedite change, and more are following suit.
• Tacoma-Pierce is much larger than Bremerton/Kitsap, but the proportion of people experiencing
homelessness compared to the total population is similar to the proportion of the total
population experiencing homelessness in Bremerton/Kitsap according to Point in Time
Counts. Tacoma started this process with an ordinance stating, "That the Interim City Manager
is directed to promptly prepare and present to the City Council an Emergency Temporary Aid
and Shelter Program to respond to the homelessness crisis." and "..That the Interim City
Manager is directed to promptly prepare and present to the City Council an ordinance declaring
a state of emergency relating to the current homeless crisis, authorizing the suspension of
certain regulations to facilitate the Emergency Temporary Aid and Shelter Program, and
providing for approval of such emergency services contracts as are necessary to support this
program." Presentation slides showing the initial results and lessons learned after the first few
months can be found here and here. This ordinance is still in effect today and will remain in
effect until 95% of unsheltered individuals identified during the point-in-time count have access
to shelter for three consecutive years. Recent updates on the improvements made through this
declaration and other efforts can be found here. Of note, national organizations focused at
addressing homelessness do not support the "compelled shelter" approach that Tacoma chose
to pursue and Bremerton is currently pursuing. For additional information on how current
enforcement practices does not solve homelessness, and case studies of better ways, including
work done by the US Interagency Council on Homelessness, visit here.
• City of Vancouver (WA) very recently declared a civil emergency followed by two other
emergency orders, along with FAQs available here.
• City of Bremerton COVID emergency declaration has great examples of what an emergency
declaration for homelessness could entail. I heard concern about waiving public notification
during the last council session, this provision could be removed to address this concern, and the
order could still require council support over a certain dollar amount to avoid unchecked action.
• Other examples, and overall benefits can be found on the National Alliance to End Homeless
website, endhomelessness.org here.
2. Demand Funding in 2024 for Assertive Outreach. Rock the Block presented an internationally
recognized evidence-based solution (Assertive Outreach) to supporting people to exit homelessness,
with evidence of local success-- results in helping over 30 people exit homelessness in downtown
Bremerton in 60 days time, with over 83% of those individuals remaining off the downtown Bremerton
streets as of Nov. 1 when the sweep occurred. However, City Council was unable to act on our request
and deferred to Mayor Wheeler. While the Mayor has agreed to a public question and answer session
on Nov. 14th, for which we are grateful for, Mayor Wheeler has yet to agree to meet with Rock the
Block for a private meeting to discuss possible options for collaboration, even though those requesting
an in-person meeting are Bremerton constituents. And despite suggestions from council, and many
public comments, there is no funding allocated for 2024 that could be utilized for Assertive Outreach
efforts. We want to help! and partner! and collaborate! Yet we are looking for guidance on how to do
so...
3. Advocate for Bremerton to have their own Human Services Coordinator position in the 2024
budget. There was an unmet 2023 goal to explore creation of a City Health and Human Services
Coordinator position. Not only was this goal not accomplished for 2023, but despite multiple public
comments and support for such a position from local agencies such as Kitsap County Human Services,
including HEART, BPD, etc, there is no goal or funding for a City Human Services Position in the 2024
budget. The Mayor cannot be expected to be able to oversee all the work needed to address
homelessness, and conduct all the necessary research, collaboration, and planning to ensure the shelter
is a success, evidenced by the many examples of misinformation shared during meetings about the
current and proposed homeless services in the city and County.
4. Advocate for a diverse Work Group/Advisory Council dedicated to address homelessness, especially
to ensure evidence-based, collaborative input is taken into consideration for the new shelter(s),
including the type, services, entry-requirements, etc. to increase the chance of success. There are major
concerns that Mayor Wheeler is only hearing input from specific organizations in making his decisions,
and constituents and other organizations ought to be included if the shelter is to be successful.
• International studies looking at effective strategies to address homelessness, and the barriers to
implementation, highlight the importance of collaboration across government, non-profits, local
public health, people with lived experience, and city and county officials, in addition to other
suggested strategies, such as Assertive Outreach.
• Both the National Institute to End Homelessness and the National Healthcare for the Homeless
Council highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the planning and execution
of homeless response work.
• See this case study highlighting the importance of multi-agency collaboration from US
Interagency Council on Homelessness.
• Kitsap Public Health District's Health Officer Dr. Morrow, spoke about homelessness in his
address to the KPHD Board of Health today, and their Policy Analyst presented priorities for
2024 that include housing and the importance of community partnerships, highlighting the need
for different government systems and community partners to come together on this issue.
4. Amend the current anti-camping ordinance. The current ordinance does not define disability, or who
determines whether an individual is banned due to a disability or voluntary action, a differentiation that
can be the difference between threatening arrest or leaving them be. I have been bringing this up as a
concern since the draft including this language was suggested. We saw this situation play out last Friday
when two men with disabilities were threatened with arrest and told they were required to move. One
man is known to Rock the Block to have a diagnosed development disability, and a DDA (Developmental
Disabilities Administration) Case Manager. The second man is barely 18, has sensory issues and is deaf,
which causes him to yell loudly and get upset easily. Because of behaviors associated with their
disabilities, RTB confirmed with the Salvation Army that they were not eligible for shelter, yet officers
continued to tell them they had to leave and were threatened with arrest after this information was
shared. These two men became very upset and confused and ended up taking a ferry to Seattle and
walking around all night without sleep for fear of arrest if they had stayed, and then returning in the
morning. As a result of this situation, we (RTB) reached out to HEART, who had been trying to help this
family for some time. It was only after advocacy to executive level leadership and elected officials,
combined with this traumatic situation, that this family was able to access case management and a hotel
through KCR. This situation occurred one day after the ordinance was enforced. It will not be the last.
5. Amend the current temporary encampment ordinance to be more timely and achievable by non-
profits and/or churches. With the uncertainty of what Mayor Wheeler's shelter plan will be, council
could take a proactive approach and lessen restrictions for temporary encampments. For example,
reducing the parcel size required, reducing the 150 ft space/resident if allowable, allowing for two
encampments at a time within city limits so that one could operate as an alternative or supplement to
the Mayor's site, and expediting neighborhood notification and permitting timeframes.
Thank you for your time reading my comments for consideration.

RE:Call to Action -Recognize Homelessness as an Emergency
We,the undersigned community members,urge Mayor Wheeler to equitably provide meaningful
engagement and outreach to our unhoused community leading up to the opening of the Salvation Army
overnight shelter on November 1 and beyond.To do this,we call on the Mayor to convene a
coordinated outreach group,and budget for options to sustainably fund case management services,such
as Rock the Block (RTB,)in order to be fairly resourced by the City of Bremerton and effectively address
the time-sensitive needs of unhoused individuals in downtown Bremerton.Connecting any individual
interested and able to exit homelessness is an urgent priority.
Recently,a fact sheet was distributed to unhoused neighbors describing the details of the unauthorized
camping ordinance,failing to include accurate information on how to access available resources,such as
the Salvation Army winter shelter opening Nov.1.This sheet did not inform individuals in the face of
limited shelter options and inclement weather in an equitable way.This form of “engagement”is not
conducive to promoting health and wellbeing of our community,nor effectively provides links to basic
human needs,so that individuals have connections to address their higher needs such as healthcare,
mental health,or recovery services.
Even though recommended by City Council,RTB has been unsuccessful in their requests to get a
meeting with the Mayor,even as voting Bremerton constituents,or be considered as an essential
contracted community partner who can respond to ongoing needs daily.This is a missed opportunity.We
stand with RTB and believe their unique outreach efforts are fundamental to turning the curve on the
increasing trend of homelessness in our community as cost of living rises.
RTB volunteers have provided consistent engagement,supplies and services to over 90 individuals in just
over 90 days.In addition,30 individuals successfully entered inpatient drug detox,treatment and/or
housing placements in that same time frame through collaborative efforts of RTB volunteers and local
agencies.Twenty-five (25)of those individuals (83%)have not returned to homelessness in downtown
Bremerton.This is the progress we wish to see continue in our community.These volunteered efforts
must be honored,compensated,and sustained by the City of Bremerton in a coordinated fashion.Any
decision that hinders equitable access to care and services should not be acceptable to any of us.
1
To do this in a timely manner,we call on the Mayor to respond by declaring a state of emergency in the
City of Bremerton to confront the homelessness crisis by December 1,2023.An emergency declaration,
with provisions similar to those implemented by the city for COVID response,would provide the city the
ability to more rapidly adapt policy,allocate funding,and bolster collective impact to meaningfully
address homelessness in our community for the long term.The opening of the Salvation Army overnight
shelter on November 1 will not address all immediate needs,and many individuals using the shelter
services could also benefit from continued intensive outreach while in shelter to end their homelessness.
We recommend the following actions be taken under this declaration:
●Contract:provide funding requests to contract with service providers such as RTB to continue
evidence-based,intensive case management,intensive meaningful outreach,and care
coordination to support those experiencing homelessness to enter into stable living situations,
expedited through an Emergency Declaration.
●Connect:prioritize meaningful community engagement,consistent,dependable connection -
recognizing social connection is a key component to exiting homelessness,stopping substance
use,and more.
●Collaborate:strengthen opportunities to advance community-led decision making to advance
health equity and address factors that lead to homelessness at the individual,organizational,
community,and systemic level.
This approach is critical to meeting the needs of unsheltered community members.As stated by
community members:
●“I’m homeless please help me find a home”-Lisa Lewis,District 3
●“The city must share in responsibility for resolving the homelessness crisis in Bremerton.The
county is already doing their part.The inaction and lack of funding for resources has escalated
the crisis unnecessarily.”-Christi Lyson,District 3
●“Mayor Wheeler,I used to be your neighbor on High Ave.Please help us with affordable housing.
Thank you.”-Chris Ormbrek,District 3
●“Please help me with a home.I don’t want to be homeless.”-Shellee Easley,District 3
●“Homelessness has become an epidemic in our city,it absolutely pains me to see virtually
nothing being done by the city to help these individuals….what are you doing about this,
Mayor?How are you,as the Mayor of our city,helping these individuals and families?”-Alexa
Kempf,District 6
●“Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head!”-Jolinda Eckard,District 7
●“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;defend the rights of the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9 niv).”-Jillian
Turnbull,District 7
●“Let’s get people off the street voluntarily.”-Joslyn LaMadrid,District 2
●“Please stop turning a blind eye to the problem.It's NOT going to correct itself.Our city leaders
were elected to listen to ALL its citizens and too many are saying HELP ME.it's time we stop
2
giving breaks and support to big builders and give that support to our unhoused neighbors.”
-Wendie Pond,District 3
●“They are human too.”Jenelle Santos,District 4
●“The number of tents in my immediate neighborhood grows larger every day.And it gets colder
every night.”-Alison Loris,District 4“Please support RTB in getting these people off the streets”-
Christy Linkemeyer,District 4
●“To save a life is a real and beautiful thing.To make a home for the homeless,yes,it is a thing
that must be good;whatever the world may say,it cannot be wrong.—Vincent Van Gogh”-Jeff
Sanders,District 6
●“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;defend the rights of the poor and needy.Proverbs 31:8-9 niv”-Jillian

Subject: 2024 City of Bremerton Budget Comments
Hello Bremerton City Council,
In review of the proposed 2024 budget, I would like to provide the following feedback:
1. There was an unmet 2023 goal to explore creation of a City Health and Human Services Coordinator
position. Not only was this goal not accomplished for 2023, but despite multiple public comments and
support for such a position from local agencies such as Kitsap County Human Services, including HEART,
KPHD, BPD, etc, there is no goal or funding for a City Human Services Position in the 2024 budget. The
Mayor cannot be expected to be able to oversee all the work needed to address homelessness in
Bremerton, evidenced by the many examples of misinformation shared during meetings about the
services in the city and County. Bremerton needs their own Human Services division.
2. I appreciate the funding for the shelter, Stand By Me, and the BH navigators, and the mobile crisis
response units (REAL team). However, we have repeatedly heard the need for consistent, field-based,
case management service providers to meet people where they are at, and be the "hub" in a hub and
spoke model to refer to the supported programs, such as Stand By Me and REAL teams.
FACTS:
1. Stand By Me is a very needed service, but it is not Kitsap Connect, and needs to stop being
compared to it. I was the Program Coordinator for Kitsap Connect. Kitsap Connect was a multi-
agency program that performed street outreach, home visits, jail visits, and intensive, wrap-
around case management. Stand by Me is not able to provide intensive case management. They
are not able to perform any street outreach off Salvation Army property AKA they are
not allowed to outreach on MLK/Broadway, or 8th St. They cannot support individuals banned
from Salvation Army. They cannot outreach to individuals in encampments, or provide services
offsite of Salvation Army property. They cannot support people experiencing unsheltered
homelessness unless these individuals come to Salvation Army for support or a PCHS location
(including mobile unit sites). THIS LEAVES MANY GAPS. WE NEED FIELD-BASED CASE
MANAGEMENT AND OUTREACH that can then connect folks into services such as Stand By Me
for care coordination. There is local, state, and international evidence to support this
approach.
2. BH Navigators do fantastic work, but they do not carry a caseload. Their ability to follow-up with
individuals after initial referrals to services is limited because they must remain available to
respond to BPD requests for in-the-moment for support. THIS LEAVES PEOPLE TO FALL
THROUGH THE CRACKS AFTER INITIAL REFERRAL.
3. The REAL teams provide invaluable linkage to services for substance use disorder. However, the
mobile response units (REAL teams) cannot perform outreach unless requested by a community
advocate, BPD, or EMS. They cannot perform blanket outreach, it is not allowed through their
grant funding. They can only respond to a specific request for a specific individual. They can only
support that individual if they sign on for services, and are challenged to coordinate care across
agencies due to strict confidentiality criteria and need for ROIs to even confirm if they are
helping any given individual. THIS LEAVES NO ONE TO COORDINATE CARE ACROSS
AGENCIES/NEEDS, nor PERFORM OUTREACH TO ENGAGE PEOPLE INTO THESE PROGRAMS.
THEY ARE NOT A CRISIS SERVICE.
4. The City Shelter will not be operational until mid-late 2024, at the earliest this does not address
the need for additional shelter now or for possible gaps between closure of Salvation Army
and opening of the new shelter.
3. Despite repeated public comment from constituents, agencies, and City Council, there is no funding
included for agencies such as Rock the Block to provide the case management and linkage to care
services needed to those experiencing homelessness. RTB requests for meetings with the mayor to
discuss this have resulted in either no response, or referral to the REAL teams and/or HEART, even from
Bremerton constituents who have a right to a meeting with their elected official. HEART IS IN THE CITY
BECAUSE OF RTB's ADVOCACY FOR THIS. WE INITIATE THE REFERRALS to REAL TEAM and HEART.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, City Council, do not accept a budget that has no funding for the operations that
can help people actually exit homelessness, permanently.
Finally, RTB has initiated a local Call to Action to declare homelessness an emergency, with guidelines
similar to those utilized by the City during COVID, and funding opportunities for agencies such as Rock
the Block. In the 18 hours since we've gone live, we are quickly approaching 100 signatures, with the
majority in Bremerton City Limits. We will continue to provide you updates, but here is a snapshot of the
results so far:
I have seen some great comments come from City Council, and I hope you continue to show, through
your actions, that the above mentioned issues need to be addressed before you can vote YES on the
2024 budget.
Best,
Kelsey Stedman, RN

emergency management services and multiply and combine personnel, equipment, expertise, and
other resources in order to provide emergency management services.
Acting Director of Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) Jan Glarum will
be providing a brief presentation regarding the changes to this agreement. Included within these
changes is a decrease in the City’s annual contribution (previously $106,930 now decreasing to

square miles model. Other changes include the Mayor appointing a representative in order to
collaborate with KCDEM and the Emergency Management Council function changing to an advisory
role.

Stakeholder Readiness
Operations and Operational Readiness
Community Resilience
The Kitsap County Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEMP) requires a robust emergency
management program to address local threats and
hazards.
The program must be able to mitigate against, prepare for,
respond to, and recover from the emergencies that can
harm the people, property, economy, and environment of
the region.
A comprehensive emergency management program
consists of four foundational areas:
Budget, grants, and finance
Facilities and equipment
Technology
Example: Community Warning System (CWS)
Polices, procedures, and processes
Staff training and professional development
Support Systems include administration and
technological processes and systems that support the
remaining three areas - Stakeholder Readiness,
Operations, and Community Resilience. In addition to
human capital and program strategy, this includes:
Support Systems
Training and exercise activities
Program support
Continuity of Operations planning and other
planning support for all phases of emergency
management (preparedness, mitigation, response
and recovery).
Stakeholder readiness includes anything that ensures
the preparedness of the local emergency and disaster
response organizations. This includes the development
and maintenance of a CEMP and plans, annexes that
contribute towards a coordinated response and
recovery effort for any disaster that may occur or
threaten each local entity.
Stakeholder Readiness also consists of:
Stakeholder Readiness
Response: Response is event-driven and includes field
operations and incident support, 24/7 Duty Officer watch,
resource acquisition (Logistics), and information
coordination through the Emergency Operations Center
Joint Information Center.
Recovery: Actions taken to return the community to normal
or near-normal conditions, including the restoration of
basic services, and the repair of physical, social, and
economic damages. This includes the coordination of state
and federal resources and emergency worker volunteer
efforts, as well as documentation and the development of a
recovery plan.
For emergency management, Operations includes two areas:
Operations
Public outreach and education activities
Capacity building
Sustainable development
Advocacy and public policy
Community Resilience includes both the preparedness
of individuals, families, and institutions, as well as the
overall local capacity to respond to and recover from a
disaster. Hazard mitigation, which is any effort to
reduce the threat or impact of a disaster, is part of
community resilience.
Other areas of focus include:

Council discussed this issue at the Study Sessions on June 26th, July 12th, July 26th, August 9th,
August 23rd, and September 13th. Public comment was received at the Council Meetings on July
5th, July 19th, August 2nd, August 16th, and September 6th. Council has also received numerous
written comments and voicemails related to this issue. Several draft ordinances were presented
for consideration as Council discussed the many options available and accounted for public input.
The new draft ordinance below has the following updates to BMC Chapter 9.32 compared to the
2004 version.
Adds a clause that enforcement of the unauthorized camping ordinance is suspended when
there is no shelter space available to comply with recent federal case law.
o There is no map or list of areas, or any differentiation between areas that are
enforced at all times versus those only enforced when there is no shelter space
available. Enforcement is either possible city-wide, or suspended when there is no
available shelter space.

Provides a definition of available shelter space that includes public or private shelter,
transitional housing, or a permitted outdoor encampment, located either in the City, or in
Kitsap County if free transportation is available.
o Shelter is not considered available if there is discrimination against an individual or
family based on sex, familial or marital status, religious beliefs, disability, or length-
of-stay restrictions.
o Shelter is considered available if a person is unable to utilize an available overnight
shelter due to voluntary actions such as intoxication, drug use, assaultive behavior,
or violation of shelter rules.
Updates the penalty for violation to be a misdemeanor upon the first offense.
Other sections of the BMC unrelated to this ordinance prohibit conduct at locations within the City
which may also prohibit camping on certain properties at certain times (e.g., City Parks when they
are closed and certain environmental areas) and these ordinances will remain in effect at all times
and are not amended by this ordinance.
President Coughlin called a brief recess from 7:27 PM to 7:40 PM; and announced that tonight’s
Ordinance does not include a map or designated camping sites…
