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.

According to Plan
The history of zoning and the future of Washington communities
One hundred years ago, with Village of Euclid vs. Ambler Realty Co., the Supreme Court established the constitutionality of zoning. From there, this relatively new practice took off, separating factories from houses, setting building heights and lot sizes, and in its ugliest application, serving as de facto redlining.
Today, this hyperlocal process is interacting with state mandates to accommodate regional growth, spawning debate over control, inclusion, and sustainability. To assess how land use policy can advance its goals, Washington compiled code from 320 jurisdictions into the Washington State Zoning Atlas. Co-creator Tamara Laninga will share findings from the atlas, walk us through the fascinating history of zoning, and reveal the land use policy that lies beneath our most livable communities.
