About KITH

KITH is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of neighbors creating housing solutions.  For over 20 years, KITH has provided transitional and longer-term housing, case management and practical support for individuals and families in East King County, helping them move out of homelessness.

KITH's Vision: To assist individuals and families who are facing a crisis of homelessness by providing housing and services to help them become stable and self-sufficient.

KITH helps our clients fulfill their practical needs and supports them as they strive to reach independence, step-by-step.  We stabilize families in housing, helping parents and children to achieve their goals and potential and to break the cycle of poverty.

KITH works because of the dedication of neighbors like you, our board members and our staff. Each of us can contribute, whether through volunteering or charitable giving. KITH appreciates and looks forward to your help.
