During a trip to Seattle last Friday, Senator Cory Booker (Plymouth’s 2012 Key to Hope luncheon keynote speaker) asked to spend time with Plymouth Housing Group staff.

A meeting of the minds: Senator Booker responds to Plymouth CEO Paul Lambros.

We’re always honored when Senator Booker comes to Seattle and makes Plymouth part of his agenda.

This year, Senator Booker met with Plymouth staff Paul Lambros (CEO), Kelli Larsen (chief program officer), Trina Thompson (director of property management), Marilyn Mitchell (manager of clinical development), and Rainelle Sizemore (executive assistant) to catch up on Plymouth’s work and exchange ideas about the power of permanent supportive housing to change lives.

Senator Booker and Plymouth agree: Housing is health care; housing is social justice; and permanent supportive housing is cost effective and compassionate public policy.
