Transitional Housing at Port Orchard and Orting — With a Women Veterans Wing

WDVA runs transitional housing at PORT ORCHARD AND ORTING for veterans of any branch with an Honorable or General Under Honorable discharge who have experienced homelessness, need case management to obtain and sustain independent housing, and can manage their own activities of daily living. There is a WOMEN VETERANS WING, which matters because mixed transitional housing is a reason women decline it. It includes case management, JOB TRAINING AND CAREER SUPPORT and transport to appointments. The programme fee is 30% OF INCOME, CAPPED AT THE COUNTY FAIR-MARKET RATE.
