April 29, 2022 Weekly Encampment Report (Kitsap County)

Update from NW Hospitality Director: Last week the Port Orchard Veterans' Park was visited by the HEART team and hotel vouchers were provided to most encampment residents. Anton went out again Thursday to see how the park looked and if there was anyone left. See article for more information related to the HEART team and encampment disbursement: https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2022/03/16/kitsap-county-says-its-booting-encampments-offer-shelter-resources/7041362001/ We are in a holding pattern for now until we find out where everyone ended up. Patterns from past experiences predict that additional encampments may crop up in the next few weeks; time will tell. Thank you to all who continue to pray and work towards solutions.
