In honor of Paul and his 29-years of visionary leadership, the Board of Trustees renamed our endowment The Paul Lambros Endowment for Plymouth Housing. Please join us in recognizing Paul’s inspiring dedication to Plymouth’s mission by making a gift to this special fund.
Thanks to a generous gift from the Brettler Family Foundation in memory of Cindy Brettler, all gifts to The Paul Lambros Endowment will be matched, up to $250,000.
Paul began his career at Plymouth in 1993, when it was a small and mighty team of 20 staff serving 370 residents in six buildings with no social service programs. After nearly three decades of leadership, Paul grew Plymouth from a grass-roots organization into an innovative, nationally recognized model of permanent supportive housing. The mission and values of the organization Paul helped build has provided Plymouth with a solid foundation to continue providing compassionate, cost-effective, and supportive care, and move people out of homelessness, permanently.
During his tenure, Paul helped Plymouth expand its portfolio to 16 properties, adopt its first strategic plan, add social services for residents, and champion advocacy and fundraising efforts, including three capital campaigns. On the eve of his departure, Plymouth’s current portfolio of 16 properties is poised to expand to 19, including its first building outside of Seattle.
Plymouth’s endowment was established as a part of the PROOF Capital Campaign to ensure the long-term stability and financial viability of the organization. The Paul Lambros Endowment will create a steady, ongoing source of income to support Plymouth’s mission and more importantly, its residents in perpetuity.
Thank you for joining us in creating a lasting legacy in honor of Paul Lambros.
