100 new units of permanent supportive housing open in Seattle
Seattle community leaders celebrated the grand opening of Bertha Pitts Campbell Place, a new permanent supportive housing facility, on Tuesday.
Plymouth Housing developed the building, located at 12th Avenue and Spruce Street, which has 100 studio apartments for single adults exiting long-term homelessness.
“We’ve seen time and time again, when we are able to get people into homes, we can then work with them to address the other things that will allow them to thrive,” said Maiko Winkler-Chin, director of the Seattle Office of Housing, at the event.
The building is named for local civil rights activist Bertha Pitts Campbell, who was an inaugural board member of the Seattle Urban League and the first woman of African descent to serve on a YWCA board in the United States.
