We aim to create a resident-led, aging-in-place community in Humboldt providing secure, accessible homes and environmentally responsible setting that supports independence, socialization, personal growth, community involvement, and intellectual stimulation. Life Plan Humboldt will keep people close to their friends and families and provide a continuum of services to address changing needs over time.
We want local control and a place that reflects North Coast culture and values, and that includes a mix of income levels that reflects Humboldt County’s population.
The Life Plan Humboldt (LPH) board, led by Ann Lindsay M.D., is comprised of local community leaders with deep commitments to the North Coast and experience implementing complex projects.
LPH has entered into an agreement to purchase a 14+ acre property in McKinleyville (view site) to create a campus-like residential setting. We will be combining private residences with common social areas and open space, including areas to enjoy nature and to farm. We plan to begin preliminary design in 2023. Ground-breaking could be from two to five years away.
The LPH board is learning from other Life Plan Communities and working with experienced advisors who have created mixed-income communities around the United States for help setting up the financial structure, operations, and design of our community.
