In recent years, I have had three very good friends move out of the area to housing similar to Life Plan Humboldt’s vision.

They have, under difficult circumstances, adjusted to completely new surroundings and attempted to make new friends. They have left life-long friends and connections and community events that they had been a part of including arts theater and music, education, HSU, the Marsh, the Pool, birding and endless walks in nature with lifelong friends.

This project provides a choice to remain in our community. Ann Lindsay and her team have the expertise to make this happen in a way that fits our values of community, flexibility, good health and sustainability. Whether or not any of us choose to leave our homes, this provides an fresh and needed option. We can support the concept with donations and participation…or eventually remain here should we choose a “care” community.
