JOIN OUR MISSION TO END HOMELESSNESS
Plymouth Housing is a nonprofit organization that develops and operates permanent supportive housing for single adults who have experienced chronic homelessness. With apartment buildings throughout King County, we believe everyone deserves a safe home and the opportunity to thrive. That’s why we provide long-term housing paired with on-site services that promote stability, health, and community. Our culture is rooted in dignity, respect, and shared responsibility: We practice hospitality, communicate with care, and collaborate across differences. We value lived experience, cultural responsiveness, and approaches grounded in harm reduction, trauma-informed practice, and resident choice. We look for people who are committed to safety, learning, and continuous improvement — and who bring steady, values-aligned service in moments that are complex or high-stress.
About This Role

This role oversees apartment support services, building cleanliness, inspection readiness, unit-turn standards, and sanitation practices while supervising Housing Support Specialists and Janitorial staff. The manager partners across Housing Operations, Facilities, Quality, Innovation and Health (QIH), Safety, and Property Management to strengthen systems, uphold trauma-informed and harm-reduction practices, and drive measurable improvements across Plymouth's housing portfolio.
