Join our mission to end homelessness
Plymouth Housing is a nonprofit organization that develops and operates permanent supportive housing for single adults who have experienced chronic homelessness.
With apartment buildings throughout King County, we believe everyone deserves a safe home and the opportunity to thrive.
That’s why we provide long-term housing paired with on-site services that promote stability, health, and community.
Our culture is rooted in dignity, respect, and shared responsibility: We practice hospitality, communicate with care, and collaborate across differences.
We value lived experience, cultural responsiveness, and approaches grounded in harm reduction, trauma-informed practice, and resident choice.
We look for people who are committed to safety, learning, and continuous improvement — and who bring steady, values-aligned service in moments that are complex or high-stress.
