Our MissiOnplymouth housing group 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.

Our COre Valuesplymouth believes:•every person has the right to a home•every person is valuable, with a unique story and journey•affordable housing requires responsible stewardship•cultural diversity and embracing difference are sources of strength• respect, trust and compassion are integral to all interactions

BuilDing A lifEOne of the best parts about putting together our annual report is that it gives Plymouth staff a great reason to come together and talk about our work in a unique way. This year, like every year, the conversations were firmly rooted in the lives of the men and women who live here.

After listening to her colleagues share stories of inspiring tenants, one staff member said, “Plymouth creates an investment in stability; even tenants who hadn’t lived anywhere else for more than a few months fight hard to stay here. And they stay here for years.”

Another responded, “It’s because we dig deeper. As we demonstrate our investment in the tenants, they step up, too. Personal things that connect to their spirits—photos, books, art—appear in their apartments. They join activities and connect with neighbors. What we’re all saying is, people build lives here.”

And with that, we had the theme of this report.

In 2013, Plymouth helped 1,111 men and women turn a safe, permanent home into a secure, stable life. That’s because we do dig deeper. Our support is assertive, comprehensive, and available 24/7. Like our housing, there’s no time limit. The path to a stable life is different for each person, so our tenants receive services tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Last year, we offered intensive support to new tenants who had been homeless for many years, easing what is often an overwhelming transition from the streets to permanent housing. People with serious medical and mental health conditions, those fighting addiction, and veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress all received specialized services. Tenants who had worked hard to achieve sustained success with round-the-clock support were offered a rewarding growth path to more independent living.

Plymouth focuses on meeting the complex basic needs of our tenants, but we also nurture their spirits. In each of our 13 buildings last year, residents partnered with us to foster companionship, creativity, health, and community. The elements of a life.

The following pages share highlights of Plymouth’s work in 2013. We hope you’re inspired by the outcomes you made possible and the lives you helped build.

Best Regards,

Paul Lambros Stewart Landefeld Executive Director President, 2014 Board of Trustees

plymouth housing groupPlymouth provides solutions that transform our community and the lives of its most vulnerable adults. The men and women who reside here have few other options for housing and care. They live with serious physical and mental illnesses and the lasting effects of abuse, trauma and chronic poverty. Before coming to Plymouth, they had suffered on the streets for many years … for some, decades.

With so much working against them, it’s not surprising that they once struggled to find and keep a home.

�i watch him fight so, so hard every single day to remember, to relearn everything, and to stay in recovery. he’s a warrior in the very best sense. he inspires me to keep going.”

—Kimberly Harrell, Plymouth Building assistant

“

Scott

one in five of plymouth’s formerly-homeless tenants is a veteran. scott m. is among them. he battles ptsD and depression, and the treatments he receives have left him with severe memory loss. yet he’s steadfast in his commitment to staying clean and sober, and when people talk about him, the word “sweet” comes up a lot. A gifted artist, scott’s paintings brighten his own home and those of community members who purchased his work at plymouth’s tenant Art fair. he’s also a proud new grandfather (but, like many of us, not quite ready to admit he could possibly be old enough). Kimberly harrell, plymouth building assistant, is scott’s biggest fan. “i watch him fight so, so hard every single day to remember, to relearn everything, and to stay in recovery. he’s a warrior in the very best sense. he inspires me to keep going.”

What do We mean by “permanent supportive housing?”In between life on the streets and stability in housing, a lot needs to happen. A permanent place to live is an essential first step. It gives men and women exhausted from years of struggle a safe haven and a secure foundation. Intensive wraparound support gives them the tools to win their fight for stability.

What does that support look like? It depends on each tenant’s goals and needs, and might include nursing; chemical dependency counseling; medical, dental, legal or mental health referrals; veterans support; access to income and food assistance benefits; community companionship; reconnecting with family; and classes on diverse topics such as computer skills, budgeting, art, yoga, resume writing, and cooking.

In every Plymouth building and throughout the year, a rich life of socials, outings, art fairs, performances, and celebrations nurture healthy relationships and vibrant community.

Both Plymouth’s housing and Plymouth’s support services are permanent, with no time limit. When we welcome new residents, we look forward to helping them build a life here.

mary’s search for shelter and refuge from danger led to nights sleeping in doorways. now, at plymouth, she is excited to have sanctuary within a caring and compassionate community.

Mary

At age 12—before she’d spent even a day in school—“mary” was sold by her brother. she became the property of sex traffickers who took her from her home in Africa and eventually brought her to the u.s. in a foreign country where she didn’t understand the language or the rules, deeply traumatized and not sure whom to trust, mary fought to survive on the streets. her search for shelter and refuge from danger led to nights sleeping in doorways and arrests for trespassing. now, at plymouth, mary is excited to have sanctuary within a caring and compassionate community. But her painful history—and the very strategies that helped her survive on the streets—make her transition to permanent housing very challenging. unfortunately, this is true of many of plymouth’s new tenants. our hope is that mary can now begin to heal.

Many people assume that once a person has a safe, permanent home, the hard work is over. It might be surprising to hear that the first year off the streets is often extremely difficult. We’re proud that 96% of the formerly-homeless tenants who moved into Plymouth’s supportive housing in 2012 were still stably housed at their one-year anniversary in 2013. The average residency in Plymouth’s supportive housing in 2013 was four years (60% higher than a decade earlier), with over one-third of tenants calling Plymouth home for more than five years.

r.W.

plymouth resident r.W. hays receives hospice care to support him in the late stages of cancer. Just mention his name and smiles spread across the faces of his case managers and nurses. they talk about his “supersized” love of life, his gentle and utterly disarming humor, his fierce intelligence and the soothing beauty of his guitar. r.W.’s gift for vivid storytelling draws visitors into happy childhood memories of trout fishing among giant sequoias and searingly honest reflections about his journey through heroin addiction. he’s now intensely focused on leaving a positive legacy. michele gomez gamino, r.W.’s case manager, helped him get a laptop so he can write about his life. “through my stories, i want to persuade people of the importance of love and family and let them know the outlaw life is not the ‘cool’ life. At all.”

richard

for some of plymouth’s front desk staff, 2 am and 8 am are the best parts of every day. that’s when richard quietly passes by with a friendly greeting on his way to or from the historic rendezvous restaurant in Belltown. richard has been the only night janitor at the rendezvous day in and day out across 20 years and three owners. that seattle landmark gets the same meticulous care he gives to his famously spotless plymouth apartment. phong le, building manager, describes richard as “a model tenant, the peg that holds the building together. things just seem solid whenever he’s around. All of the tenants think of him as their cornerstone.”

richard is a model tenant, the peg that holds the building together.”

—PHong le, Building manager

Who built a life at plymouth in 2013?In 2013, we welcomed 209 new supportive housing tenants (a 30% increase over 2012) and provided safe, affordable, permanent homes to 1,111 people. These men and women lived in 13 buildings owned and operated by Plymouth Housing Group in and around downtown Seattle.

Among our supportive housing tenants in 2013:

• 90% had at least one disability

• 64% lived with mental illness

• 74% had incomes below the Federal Poverty Guideline

• 10% had no income at all

• 19% were veterans

• 41% were over age 55

• 30% identified themselves as African-American or of African heritage; 8% as Native Americans or Alaskan Natives; 4% as Hispanic or Latino; and 3% as Asian or Pacific Islander

• 10% participated in Plymouth’s new Recovery Support Program, including 100% of the tenants of the Pat Williams Apartments (half of whom are veterans).

An additional 1,178 low-income people were served through Plymouth’s Shelter Plus Care program, which provided them with housing in apartments throughout King County.

Searetha

now that she has permanent housing, searetha feels she has a real home. that means she finally has the proper place to display her cherished family photos. it also means she has a community to take part in and nurture. Committed to staying clean and sober and active in plymouth’s recovery support program, searetha says, “i volunteer at plymouth to stay busy doing something positive and to give back for a beautiful, warm, clean, comfortable and safe place to live.” Anna Boenish, building coordinator, speaks with great fondness. “searetha goes out of her way to be sweet and understanding. she serves her plymouth neighbors through countless acts of kindness. When another tenant was dying, she made meals for him and gave him a little money whenever she could. searetha just radiates compassion.”

i volunteer at plymouth to stay busy doing something positive and to give back.”

key to hoPe luncheon

PoP some toPs!

2013 seattle dances!

ABC news anchor and reporter Bob Woodruff, keynote speaker at plymouth’s 10th annual Key to Hope luncheon, used his personal story of serious injury and painstaking recovery as a window into the battles faced by veterans. the luncheon was attended by more than 900 guests and raised over one-half million dollars to support plymouth’s programs.

homestreet Bank vice president ronnie henderson spoke directly to the hearts of luncheon guests when he said, “plymouth gives families like mine peace of mind for the first time in years, knowing their loved one is safe, treated with respect and living with dignity.”

At June’s PoP Some Tops! party at pyramid Alehouse in soDo, under-40 “promoters of plymouth” enjoyed cold brew, hot music, cool raffles and a warm summer evening while raising awareness—and over $11,000— for plymouth.

in 2013, the hugely popular Seattle Dances! gala at fremont studios gave both longstanding and brand new donors an exuberantly fun way to donate $482,000 to plymouth’s programs and services. Bill Block & sue leavitt were the evening’s honorees. Dance trophies went to (l – r): patti savoy and mark Kihara (Judges’ Choice); Connie Blumenthal and marcelo garces (people’s Choice); John teutsch and Alison Cockrill (Cyber Choice).

The events and activities of 2013—some familiar, many new and fresh—brought together Plymouth tenants, staff, volunteers and community supporters in ways that forged bonds, raised support and enriched lives.

Body shoP makeover

tenant art fair

oPen mic

memorial quilt

the joyful Body shop volunteers themselves brought plymouth residents just as much life-affirming happiness as their beautiful makeovers did.

the first-annual tenant Art fair, part of the Belltown Artwalk, connected plymouth resident-artists with community art lovers and provided a venue for residents to enhance their creative energy and income.

passion, artistry and admiration filled the room when residents and staff came together as fellow musicians, poets, performers and fans at plymouth’s open mic night.

nothing more poignantly captures the caring community at plymouth than the memorial Quilt project. in 2013, tenants, staff and volunteers began creating fabric swatches representing the legacy of each plymouth tenant that passed away while living here. the swatches are lovingly stitched into quilts to be displayed in plymouth buildings, and an accompanying book will tell the story of the tenant who inspired each swatch.

building for lifethe pat Williams Apartments in south lake union recently celebrated its first anniversary. this lEED platinum, all-recovery building is home to 81 tenants, half of whom are veterans.

in 2013, we completed our remodel of the lewiston and pacific Apartments. this project preserved 157 units of energy-efficient affordable housing for formerly-homeless men and women and ensured that both buildings continue to enhance their downtown neighborhoods.

We will soon begin construction of our 14th building, “sylvia’s place,” at third & Virginia. All 63 units in this development (named for sylvia odom, the plymouth Congregational Church member who was instrumental in creating plymouth housing group 34 years ago) will be reserved for tenants in our housing options program. these residents have worked hard to achieve long-term success in our supportive housing after many years of homelessness and are equipped for more independent living.

And in 2013, we began to plan our 15th project. this development will serve the fastest-growing segment of our wait list: elderly homeless individuals. right now, over 200 seniors are waiting for housing at plymouth. our 92 existing senior units do not meet this need, and our other buildings do not provide the specialized services these men and women require.

volunteers are part of life at plymouthCommunity volunteers further Plymouth’s vision—a home and a better quality of life for all individuals—by creating an atmosphere of home and by giving Plymouth’s formerly-homeless tenants new connections, opportunities, support and hope for the future.

rebecca laszlo values her monthly tenant Connection visits with scott, a plymouth resident she describes as “a thoughtful person.” their walks, grocery shopping, and lively conversations are part of plymouth’s continuum of support. they also inform rebecca’s participation in promoters of plymouth (pop), young professionals she describes as “very action-oriented and keen to raise awareness and build support for plymouth.”

permanent housing is a shared concern for Woodland Park Presbyterian Church, whose members have served brunch at plymouth’s st. Charles Apartments for eight years. “sitting down to eat with others is something we take for granted,” says gary ireland. “tenants see that people care about them, and once a month we have the chance to give back to our community by making others’ lives more pleasant.”

Donations of household goods are managed by volunteers in our essential Supply Center (EsC). Volunteers make the EsC a bright and heartening place to find the treasures that make an apartment a home. “Volunteering at the EsC lets me connect to the plymouth community in a tangible way,” says tina urso mcDaniel, who has volunteered with plymouth since 2010.
