The Asset Building Coalition of Kitsap helps Kitsap County residents achieve financial security. We partner with other local organizations with a shared mission to provide financial education and resources that financially strengthen members of the community.
The Coalition is modeled after Prosperity Now‘s, Household Financial Security Framework adapted and summarized as shown below. We aim to help Kitsap County residents improve money management, increase earning potential through education, to be able to save more, grow assets, and then preserve those assets.
The Coalition is a collaborative partnership among businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and other organizations from various backgrounds with a shared mission to improve the finances of individuals and families in Kitsap County. Members of the Coalition contribute to the mission in a variety of ways by leading financial education workshops, sharing resources, and helping to connect members of the community with programs and services that lead to financial security.
As part of the Community Reinvestment Project, awarded by the Washington State Department of Commerce, the Asset Building Coalition of Kitsap is able to provide funds to directly benefit historically marginalized members of the county with homeownership and automobile down payment assistance, help to launch and grow a small business, debt reduction, and scholarships for GED completion, higher education, and vocational/certification training. The Community Reinvestment Project focuses on repairing wealth disparities in communities disproportionately harmed by the war on drugs and as such these programs strongly encourage Native Americans, African Americans, and Hispanic individuals to apply.
