On July 8, King County, Plymouth Housing, and the City of Kirkland celebrated the grand opening of Sheila Stanton Place, a new permanent supportive housing community providing 101 homes for adults exiting homelessness. Developed through the King County Department of Community & Human Services’ Health Through Housing initiative and operated by Plymouth Housing, the community combines affordable housing with on-site services designed to help residents maintain stability, improve health, and build meaningful connections in the communities where they live.

Sheila Stanton Place is the result of years of collaboration between King County, Plymouth Housing, the City of Kirkland, service providers, faith leaders, and community partners working toward shared solutions to homelessness on the Eastside.

“Too often, homelessness is treated as a series of individual crises instead of the systems challenge it is. Our administration is building a coordinated response that expands housing, strengthens behavioral health services, and helps people get the support they need to regain stability,” said King County Executive Girmay Zahilay. “Sheila Stanton Place is part of that long-term commitment, and I’m grateful to the City of Kirkland, Plymouth Housing, and our Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) for helping deliver this investment. Together, we’re expanding access to permanent supportive housing on the Eastside while building a stronger housing system for all of King County.” Read more.
