Plymouth Housing

💪 We left Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day at the Washington state Capitol feeling inspired and energized! It was empowering to join fellow advocates and organizations on March 14 in speaking with lawmakers about housing rights. We're grateful to the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance for the opportunity to advance our mission and champion a Housing First approach. We envision a day when every person has a home and a better quality of life. 🏠❤️

⚾ We were thrilled to welcome Fred Rivera to Plymouth’s building in Ballard! Executive vice president of the Seattle Mariners, Fred recently participated in Seattle Dances to raise money and awareness for our mission. We’re grateful for Fred and our partnership with the Mariners to help build stronger, more inclusive communities. Thank you, Fred! ⭐ Toft Terrace, our first building in Ballard, opened in January 2023 and provides homes for 81 adults who have experienced housing insecurity. As part of Plymouth Housing’s commitment to ending homelessness, we offer safe, high-quality housing along with supportive services that help residents regain stability and improve their lives. 🧠Fun fact: In Old Norse, toft means “homestead” or “site of a house.” Given Ballard’s deep Scandinavian roots, our naming committee chose a name that honors this heritage while symbolizing “home” for our residents.

Plymouth is proud to join the Eastside community in ensuring that everyone has a place to call home! 🏡❤️ Check out our latest blog post for an inside look at how we’ve built authentic relationships with Eastside residents, businesses, schools, and faith organizations. Through community engagement, trust-building, and active listening, we’re working together to provide homes for unhoused neighbors. 🤝 “Our residents do best when the neighborhood wants to help support them, which is why developing relationships is a core part of our mission to transform lives.” — Evan Sexton, External Engagement Coordinator at Plymouth Blog: https://lnkd.in/gAa-K35A

Do you work as a case manager or direct service provider in permanent supportive housing, or with people navigating homelessness or housing insecurity? Are you a community organizer with an interest in housing affordability? Do you work for a business or nonprofit on the Eastside? If you live or work in the Eastside community and have an interest in ending homelessness, we would love to hear from you. Come meet with Plymouth! As we bring more permanent supportive housing to the Eastside, we are hosting monthly Eastside Community Office Hours at the Together Center in Redmond. Our office hours are regularly scheduled, from 11am-1pm on the second Wednesday of each month. We’re using these office hours to take referrals, connect community members to existing Eastside service and housing providers, and answer questions from our Eastside neighbors. We look forward to strengthening our connections and supporting the community in this important work!
