STAR OF HOPE
St. Vincent de Paul-Bremerton is addressing the critical need for affordable housing in Kitsap County through its Star of Hope Campaign, a two-phase development that will bring needed shelter, transitional and permanent housing to our community.
Click below to learn more and join this ambitions effort – the largest affordable housing project taking place in Kitsap County – to help our neighbors in need transition from homelessness to permanent affordable housing.
The Star of Hope campaign is gaining real momentum - and June made it clearer than ever.
Thanks to generous grants from the Ben B. Cheney Foundation, the Harnish Foundation, and the Norcliffe Foundation, we raised close to $1 million last month alone.
Combined with earlier grants from the State of Washington and gifts from individual donors, our total now stands at $16,668,291 toward our $19.5 million goal. These foundation grants do more than add to the dollar total — they signal to other funders that this project is worth backing. That kind of endorsement matters enormously as we continue making our case.
What we're building:
- Expanding emergency shelter beds at Stella Maris House from 30 to 47 - serving more women and children in crisis
- Adding 38 units of transitional and permanent supportive housing
- Upgrading our Neighborhood Market & Resource Center
This is the largest affordable housing project currently underway in Kitsap County and groundbreaking is on the horizon.
We need your help to get there. Every gift, large or small, keeps us on track. If you'd like to be part of this, I'd love to hear from you.
