Share Your Thoughts with Kitsap Transit: Survey Open Until May 31, 2025
Kitsap Transit (KT) is conducting a survey of community-based agencies (public and private) to solicit feedback that will help them understand how they can better serve their needs of your organization and their clients.
To fully complete this survey, you may need to talk to your staff and/or key customers about their use of KT printed brochures, fare-free tickets, and branded promotional products. You know your customers best, so Kitsap Transit appreciates your feedback, even if it's simply a guess informed by your experience.
We estimate it will take about 7 minutes to complete this survey. The deadline to complete the survey is Saturday, May 31, 2025.

The Lived Experience subcommittee of the CRIS Committee has launched the CRIS Lived Experience Stories Project – a project aimed to elevate stories and perspectives of people across Washington state who have accessed behavioral health crisis services for themselves or someone else. These shared stories will be brought into the work of the CRIS and integrate what has been learned into recommendations for improving the state behavioral health crisis system.
- View the project one-pager to help spread the word.
- Submit your story.
- A $25 gift card will be offered in appreciation for the first 200 stories received.

Hybrid Shelter Update for Service Providers
Please see the below information shared with KHHC members at the October 2024 Monthly Meeting:
We are excited to begin coordinating with the many community partners who are currently serving those experiencing homelessness in our community. As presented, the proposed model is designed to create a new paradigm in housing services for this population. We are not relocating what we see downtown to a new location. Instead, we encourage each of the service providers to utilize a systems engineering approach to intentionally consider how they are currently providing services now compared to how they may be able to enhance their services through a manifold service delivery model at the new location as depicted in the presentation.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
Joseph Crain MBA, MAML
Executive Director, SVdP Bremerton
