Veterans
If you are a veteran, Kitsap County and KCR would like you to know that we are proud of you and that we are thankful for your sacrifice in serving our country. In order to extend help to veterans in need, Kitsap Community Resources (KCR) operates the Veterans Assistance Program under contract with the Kitsap County Veterans Program.
This program provides eligible veterans and/or immediate family members with emergency financial assistance.
Temporary emergency assistance is available for:
- Rental assistance
- Energy & utilities assistance
- Assistance for food, transportation, medical and prescription costs, burial costs, and many other needs
Eligibility
- Income eligibility rules are applicable. Please bring the past 3-months of income documentation in order to determine your eligibility.
- You must have resided in Kitsap County for at least 90-days at the time of your application.

Application Process
Veterans may begin the application process online or through a local Veterans Service Organization (VSO), such as the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, or Veterans of Foreign Wars.
After you submit your application, the KCR Veterans Fund Administrator will contact you within 2 to 3 business days to guide you through the next steps, including reviewing your eligibility, answering questions, and helping you gather and submit any required supporting documentation.
Once your eligibility has been determined, you may schedule an appointment with program staff at the KCR Veterans Assistance office: (360) 473-2034. Our staff can help you identify and access both veteran-specific and non-veteran programs and resources.
