Work is nearly complete on a novel housing development for seniors and transitional-aged youth in Santa Ana.
The Richard Lehn Intergenerational Campus, a first of its kind in Orange County developed by Illumination Health + Home, will provide housing and supportive services for around 36 people, including seniors age 62 years and older and TAY (transitional-aged youth) between the ages of 18-24.
According to the Illumination Health, Lehn residents will receive on-site medical care, behavioral health services, job readiness programs and child development support. Orangewood Foundation will run the programming for TAY residents.
TAY are typically at a stage in life where they are transitioning out of dependency, such as foster care or juvenile detention, into adulthood. The intergenerational campus is aimed at helping TAY who face homelessness by providing career service support so they can make a living to pay for rent and live on their own.
The $8.5 million project was backed by public and private partners including CalOptima Health, the city of Santa Ana, funding from U.S. Rep. Lou Correa, the Samueli Foundation and the Cooper Housing Institute.
The campus at 918-920 N. Bewley St. includes two, two-story residential buildings and an accessory dwelling unit in 7,473 square feet. The buildings house a combined 11 units for 14 formerly homeless households, or around 36 people.
—Eight units for transitional age youth
—Two three-bedroom units built as shared housing for six seniors
—One unit for an onsite property manager
—The ADU will be used for staffing.
Illumination Health + Home, a nonprofit formerly called Illumination Foundation and helmed by Chief Executive Pooja Bhalla, was created to help people facing homelessness, often families living in their cars with children. In 2024, the organization opened its Children & Families Recuperative Care Center and the Shah Happiness Home in Orange, its fifth Family Emergency Home.
The housing complex is expected to open in early 2026.

Maui Resort Rentals acquires Newport Beach rental firm
Newport Beach-based Beachview Rentals has been acquired by Maui Resort Rentals, a vacation rental management company in Maui.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed by either company. The combined company is now Dream Resorts.
Maui Resort Rentals, founded in 2010 by Chris Geng, has a portfolio of more than 300 properties in Hawaii. It now has 170 more with the acquisition of Beachview Rentals.
Ned Lucks, formerly the chief technology officer at Bluetent, is now CTO of the newly combined company, along with Tom Heffernan, who joined as chief marketing officer after the sale closed.
The company said the consolidation did not lead to any layoffs.
“This past year has been an exciting validation of everything we’ve built,” Geng said. “We always believed the model we refined in Maui would translate successfully to other high-demand mainland markets, and the first year at Beachview has exceeded all expectations.”
The company’s Newport Beach headquarters is at Peninsula Village, not far from the city’s pier. For more information about the company or its rental portfolio, go to dreamresorts.com, mauiresortrentals.com or beachviewrentals.com for Newport Beach listings.
