Mission Statement
Plymouth Housing works to eliminate homelessness and address its causes by preserving, developing and operating safe, quality, supportive housing and by providing homeless adults with opportunities to stabilize and improve their lives.
Description
Since 1980, Plymouth Housing Group has been providing homes to the most vulnerable homeless adults in our community--those struggling with differing abilities such as mental illness, HIV/AIDS, severe medical conditions, chemical dependency, and the effects of poverty and aging. Today, over 1,400 formerly homeless adults live in 17 Plymouth residential apartment buildings in the downtown Seattle area, Ballard, and the Eastside.
Plymouth subscribes to the "Housing First" philosophy, operating on the principle that people cannot improve their lives until they have a safe, stable place to live. At Plymouth, we work hard to lower the barriers to housing so that people who are shut out of housing due to addiction, poor rental history, poverty or a criminal record have an opportunity to succeed. Our model of permanent housing, coupled with wraparound supportive services, helps people rebuild their lives, regain their dignity, and leave homelessness behind forever.
