Kitsap Homes of Compassion

About Kitsap Homes of Compassion

Kitsap Homes of Compassion is a nonprofit sober living operator based in Bremerton, Washington, providing recovery and shared housing across Kitsap County. Founder Joel Adamson started the organization in 2017 to address homelessness through housing instead of shelters alone, and it has since grown into a mix of recovery homes, standard shared housing and live-work arrangements.

A Kitsap County Recovery Housing Provider

Kitsap Homes of Compassion leases three to six bedroom homes and converts them into shared housing with a mix of private and shared bedrooms. Recovery homes are abstinence-based, and the organization also runs zero-tolerance houses and moderate-use housing with private rooms for residents who are not in a formal recovery track, which lets it serve a wider range of people leaving homelessness than a recovery-only operator could.

Two Sober Homes in Bremerton

The organization operates men's and women's residences sharing the Tracyton #2 name at 247 4th St in Bremerton, one of its housing sites in the county. House managers and housing navigators support residents at each property.

Serving Men and Women in Recovery

Kitsap Homes of Compassion keeps its recovery housing single-gender at the house level, with separate men's and women's residences instead of mixed households. That split extends to the populations it targets more broadly: people with disabilities, mental health needs, young adults, mothers with children, seniors and veterans all have a place inside its housing model.

Case Management Alongside the Housing

Beyond the housing itself, Kitsap Homes of Compassion runs a Housing Support Case Management program funded in part through Washington's Housing First and Foundational Community Supports grants, plus a mental health program serving Bremerton and Poulsbo. A resident referred into its recovery housing typically has access to this same support system instead of a lease and nothing else.

A Certified Washington Recovery Housing Operator

Kitsap Homes of Compassion's recovery homes operate under Washington's WAQRR certification framework, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, which binds a certified operator to a published code of ethics and an outside complaint process.

Reaching Kitsap Homes of Compassion

Applications and referrals go through the organization directly. Kitsap County treatment providers, jail reentry programs and word of mouth are the typical paths in, and the same organization that places a resident can move that person between its properties if a household's needs change.
