The Kitsap Eviction Prevention Assistance program will be accepting applications from April 3rd, 2023 to Apri 14th, 2023.

Applications may be submitted in person at 1201 Park Avenue, Bremerton, WA 98337, Monday through Friday from 9AM to 4PM, online by emailing your completed application to KCR’s Housing and Community Support Services director at cfoster@kcr.org, or mailed to the 1201 Park Avenue address. 

Mailed applications must be received by KCR by April 14th, 2023.

Applicants who have not received assistance from KCR in 2021 and 2022 will be prioritized. Submitting a KEPA application does not guarantee receiving assistance from KCR. A complete and accurate application will reduce the amount of time needed to process the application.
