The mission of KITH is to assist individuals and families on the Eastside who are facing a homelessness crisis. Whether people are living in their cars, are housed in temporary shelters, or facing eviction, KITH works with them to stabilize their situation. KITH is able to make referrals to other services, provide homelessness prevention resources, provide transitional housing and ultimately provide, or assist in securing, permanent low-income housing.
Description:
Ninety-six adults and children are housed
in the 20 apartments which KITH owns and in the additional 14 apartments which KITH supports.
At the heart of our services is case management. Case Managers work with participants to establish and work toward achieving goals. This helps eliminate homelessness by returning individuals and families to self-determination and self-sufficiency.
KITH also partners with a wide range of community programs and agencies to provide participants with every resource possible.
History:
KITH was founded in Kirkland in 1988 in response to Eastside homeless needing housing resources. In 1993 with the assistance of Kirkland, King County and Washington state KITH purchased a 12 plex in Juanita. In 2002 a 4plex was purchased with private funds. In 2002 KITH worked with Sound Families/Gates Foundation, ARCH, King County, Master Builders and the King County Housing Authority to purchase a rehab 4plex.
