Key to Hope

Nearly 800 attendees joined us for the first in-person Key to Hope since 2019 to celebrate and learn more about Plymouth Housing’s work to end homelessness and address its causes. Together we raised over $1.3 million!

We are honored by and grateful for the generosity of our community—each of us can help make a difference, and it takes our combined efforts to build the future of our region together.

If you were unable to join us, there’s still time to make a gift!

Your Impact

Key to Hope raises critical funds. The suggested individual donation for this event is $150. These dollars help us provide housing and support to over 1,100 people each year, as well as continue our work to develop more permanent supportive housing.

Who does Plymouth serve?

We provide housing and wraparound support for people who’ve experienced chronic homelessness. Each resident has a unique personal history, but they also have a lot in common: 95% have a disability, 61% are 55 or older, 15% are veterans, and 47% are people of color. All 1,100 are all bright, resilient members of our community.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your COVID safety policy?

COVID vaccination will be required to attend the event. Masks are encouraged, but not required.

Key to Hope is an inclusive event, and for that reason we don’t ask attendees to pay a ticket price to access the event. However, this is also a major fundraiser for our mission. To help us reach our fundraising goal, the suggested donation for Key to Hope is $150.

What does Plymouth Housing do?

Plymouth Housing ends homelessness one person at a time. We provide housing and supportive services to adults who have experienced homelessness for 2, 10, or 20 years. Currently, we own and operate 16 buildings across Seattle with over 1,100 residents served each year. To learn more about our work, browse the rest of our website.
