What would happen if senior citizens and adults with developmental disabilities lived together in a sustainable, beautiful community? LINC Housing believes such a community would foster an environment of cooperation and support.

SEASONS at Compton, an 84-unit affordable rental community currently in construction, will blend limited-income seniors, adults with developmental disabilities, and seniors who care for dependents with developmental disabilities.

 
The new community in Compton will incorporate Universal and Sustainable Design principles as top priorities to provide a beautiful, highly functional environment for its residents, while also emphasizing access for handicapped individuals, energy efficiency, use of natural light and ventilation, and reducing the property’s carbon footprint. Environmental features will include photovoltaic electricity for all common spaces, a solar hot water system, two calculated bio swales, passive cooling, low-flow water fixtures, and environmentally friendly landscaping. As a first step toward LEED Green Building Certification, SEASONS at Compton is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council to achieve LEED Gold certification. Accessibility will be enhanced with wider doorways and hallways, adjustable height counters, lower light switches, ramps, and elevators.

LINC also plans to bring three areas of services to the community: senior health and wellbeing programs; independent living skills training; and special services for residents with developmental disabilities.
