Program

The development follows Plymouth Housing’s “Moving On” program model, providing homes for residents of other Plymouth properties who have established a record of stability and who no longer need intensive services. This allows other units at Plymouth’s supportive housing properties to become available for those currently experiencing homelessness. The building features a second-floor community room with an adjacent rooftop deck. The one-bedroom units were designed to allow residents to age in place with additional space for at home care. Plymouth partnered with Path With Art to provide an arts education facility in a commercial space on the ground floor. This space provides classroom space and production facilities to serve Path With Art’s mission of providing opportunities for those recovering from homelessness to utilize art as a path to stability.
