Kitsap Project Connect is a series of annual services and information resource fairs that bring together local organizations who serve low-income and homeless individuals and families in need. These events are hosted in coordination with the Kitsap Point-in-Time (PIT) Count to ensure everyone who is unhoused is counted accurately for reporting to the state to receive additional funding throughout the year.
This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Suquamish Tribe and Suquamish Foundation.
Vendor Registration

Government Shutdown- As of October 1, the federal government hasn’t passed spending legislation to keep government open. That means portions of the federal government have stopped operating. DSHS will issue October 2025 benefits for food and cash programs to current recipients on the regular schedule. We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate as quickly as possible any other changes that might affect our services and programs.
DSHS Secretary- Governor Ferguson appointed Angela Ramirez as the new Secretary of DSHS effective September 22nd. Ramirez recently served as chief of staff at the US Department of Health and Human Services through January 20th of this year, and has more than two decades of experience across local, state and federal government. In her role at HHS , she coordinated one of the largest federal departments with over 90,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion budget (the largest of any federal agency). Her appointment follows a competitive national search that drew candidates from more than 11 states.
Customer Survey- Beginning Sept. 9, 2025, we will launch a new text messaging campaign aimed at increasing participation in the statewide Customer Feedback Survey. Customers with cell phone numbers on file will receive a survey invitation via text message.
Each day, a list of customers who interacted with CSD the previous business day will be generated. Those customers will receive a text message with a survey link tailored to their access point—local office, CSCC or mobile office.
Messages will be sent Tuesday through Saturday, based on the prior business day's interactions.
Washington Connection Community Partnership Program (WCCP). In partnership with community-based organizations, this program helps people access vital benefits online through WashingtonConnection.org, with support provided directly in their communities. Beginning Sept. 1, 2025, ESA will pilot a new structure for the WCCP. The goal is to improve alignment, provide more consistent statewide support and strengthen coordination with community partners. We would love to hear from our community partners- your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Please take a few moments to complete our survey and share your insights. Your input will help us better understand your needs and enhance our efforts to serve you more effectively. Thank you for your time and partnership. The survey can be accessed at this link: Washington Connection Community Partnership Survey
