Why Life Plan Humboldt is Important to Me
Senior housing is, and will continue to be, the most critical need in Humboldt County. Faced with a growing senior demographic and limited current options, Life Plan Humboldt offers to be a model of innovative senior living while creating critical new housing stock. I welcome the opportunity to use my decades of financing experience to make this a reality.
