Kitsap County Department of Personnel and Human Services administers
the Veterans Assistance Fund (formerly known as the Soldiers and Sailors
or Relief Fund) for veterans in need. The money comes from a small
portion of property taxes and is dedicated to providing assistance to
veterans and their families.
Every county in Washington state has a veterans assistance fund under the
auspices of Chapter 73.08, Revised Code of Washington. Veteran is defined
under RCW 41.04.005 and 41.04.007:
