SINCE 1980 James, a Plymouth resident a Plymouth James, A THRIVING COMMUNITY MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2016 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR HOMELESSNESS IN OUR AREA. Tent cities and encampments were, and continue to be, a source of significant public debate. As more people are pushed to the edge of homelessness by rapidly rising rents, the women and men Plymouth serves continue to struggle on the streets, fighting mental illness, chemical dependency, disability, and more. But as we’ve said before: Plymouth is here for the long term. And we’re not alone. As you’ll read about later in this report, we have numerous community partners that support us in this critical work. These partners supplement the services that Plymouth provides; they help our residents succeed in housing by enriching their lives and by building friendships and support networks. I also know that Plymouth needs to do more to meet the desperate need. In 2016, we opened Sylvia Odom’s Place and began construction on Plymouth on First Hill. We also created our next 5-year strategic plan, which was ratified in early 2017. I invite you to read about this plan on page 16, because you’re an integral part of it. Your support—whether monetarily or as a volunteer or advocate—keeps us going. By coming together, we’re rebuilding the lives of men and women experiencing homelessness. And we’ll continue to do so for many years to come. Thank you for being part of our community.
