Providing permanent, supportive housing is better and cheaper for our community than homelessness.
When moving into a Plymouth apartment, residents are often in need of living essentials like plates and bedding. So all new residents (~150 annually) get baskets with what they need to settle in. Thanks to @DeltaDentalWA's donation, 25 new residents will be welcomed home! 🔑❤️

Good question!
There seem to be more people living outside than ever, and yet, a recent count said chronic homelessness and people with serious mental illness and chemical dependency living on the streets has dropped. So where did they go? st.news/2IcM4yQ
Thank you for supporting our mission!

A fascinating look at how Seattle residents old and new view the city's growth. Not a lot of evidence that people think Seattle is dying. Story by @jcohenwrites. crosscut.com/2019/05/how-do…
Congratulations on a successful and energizing event!

We were proud to represent Plymouth housing at the @HDC_SeaKC celebration today! #housingfirst #seattlehomeless
Over a thousand people here to celebrate @HDC_SeaKC's work furthering affordable housing. Honored to be partnering with HDC in that work.
This is not ok. People shouldn’t die because they don’t have shelter. We need BIG investments in housing solutions for people experiencing homelessness. We know that #housingfirst works but need federal investments at the scale of the problems. #OurHomesOurVoices2020

“Our jails should not be used to house people whose behavior arose out of acute mental health crisis merely because it is believed, whether correctly or otherwise, that there is no other place to take that person to receive treatment”

Here's an innovative new program to help people with mental health issues get the help they need instead of jail time.
If you live in Seattle, you’ve probably seen someone experiencing the effects of mental illness or substance abuse in public spaces. These people often get arrested and released many times, but this program is trying to change that. st.news/2KSQ6kk

Weeks ago I got a tip from @danieldevise that an Olympic medalist was homeless in Seattle. I called her family, reached out to friends. No one knew where she was. I let it go. Two days later, Rebecca Twigg showed up in the Times’ lobby. Here’s her story: st.news/2GnqN5J
"Running was the only thing that made me feel normal when I was homeless from 2005 to 2008. It’s the only thing that connected me to the rest of the world."
"I don’t ever want to forget what it’s like to be stranded and alone without anyone to care about me in the whole world. Because if I get complacent, I’ll be like everybody else in this world who turns a blind eye."
Come have coffee with us! We want to hear your thoughts on our stories, and what you think we should be covering. 🍵🍵🍵 st.news/2tU2RzL
“The fact that @Microsoft has to step in to help ensure the development of affordable housing points to a long-building reality nationwide: The federal government has largely retreated from this role.” -@emilymbadger nytimes.com/2019/01/18/ups… @nytimes #housingfirst #Seattle
