Mental Health, Chemical Dependency & Therapeutic Drug Court 

Community Advisory Committee​


1/10th of 1% Sales and Use Tax Grant Program for Mental Health, Chemical Dependency & Therapeutic Drug Court funding


A signed Ordinance 507-2013 authorized a sales tax and use tax to provide for delivery of mental health, substance abuse and therapeutic court programs and services, providing for administration of the tax and adopting a new chapter of Kitsap County Code for implementation. Learn more about the program here.

The Mental Health, Chemical Dependency & Therapeutic Drug Court Community Advisory Committee was formed to:

> Help prevent and reduce the impacts of disabling chemical dependency and mental illness by creating and investing in effective, data driven programs for a continuum of recovery-oriented systems of care.

> Advise the Board of Commissioners on systemic mental health, substance abuse and therapeutic court issues.  

> Review strategic plans which identify regional needs and guide near-term actions to address such needs.

> Assess proposals for targeted funding to address the needs outlined in the strategic plans.

> Develop and measure specific performance measures to ensure funding is meeting proposed goals and those of Kitsap's strategic plans.

> Ensure the implementation and evaluation of the strategies and programs funded by the Treatment Sales Tax are transparent, accountable and collaborative.

Applications are currently open for an At-Large (North Kitsap preferred) representative. For the online application and position description go to the Kitsap County Advisory Group website.
