One of MIPC’s mission partners, Plymouth Housing, just send
this information about the homeless Plymouth population in Seattle.
• The majority of residents become homeless due to a perfect
storm of persona, medical and economic issues.
• In 2011 nearly 1,000 adults lived in 12 Plymouth owned and
operated buildings in downtown Seattle.
• The majority of Plymouth residents struggle with one or
more disabilities such as mental illness, chronic medical conditions, chemical
dependency, HIV/AIDS, developmental disabilities, and post-traumatic stress
disorder.
• It costs approximately $13,000 a year to provide a home to
one Plymouth resident.
• There are 918 people on Plymouth’s waiting list.
