Washington State Health Care Authority Lived Experience Stories Project
As shared from Washington State Health Care Authority:
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.
- Contact Kristine Malana or via phone at 213-633-7593.

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
