Pelican Harbor is a Huntington Beach community with 42 homes for low-income seniors as well as those coming from homelessness that are at least 62 years old. In partnership with the City of Huntington Beach and the County of Orange, Jamboree’s joint venture with USA Properties Fund is dedicated to serving some of Huntington Beach’s most vulnerable residents.
This collaboration demonstrates that local control and community input can produce quality, affordable housing while also maintaining compliance with state laws. The development also fits the community vision to enhance the economic performance, functionality, and beauty of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP).
With a craftsman-style architecture that integrates with the seaside atmosphere of Huntington Beach, the fourstory residential building of one-bedroom apartments features 4,000 square feet of community space for onsite property management, supportive and resident services, a computer lab, offices, plus meeting rooms and common areas for resident gatherings and activities. Pelican Harbor includes a 2,300 square-foot outdoor courtyard and pet park.
Pelican Harbor integrates with the architectural fabric of the surrounding community. Underground parking for residents, onsite staff, and guests and property entry points are designed to minimize the traffic impact on Beach Boulevard. This community is conveniently within walking distance of public transit, local parks, grocery stores, and medical centers.
Located on an L-shaped, 0.78-acre lot near the 5 Points area where Main Street meets Beach Boulevard, Pelican Harbor reserves 33 Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) apartments for seniors experiencing homelessness and nine apartments for low-income seniors. With one full-time case manager and a part-time supportive service coordinator on site, services at the property will be tailored to meet the unique needs of senior residents. Programs that foster learning, health and wellness, and community-building will be provided.
