About Us

HumanGood is the seventh-largest nonprofit senior living provider in the country. We operate more than 100 affordable housing communities across five states (California, Delaware, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington) with more than 9,200 residents.

Our Story

At HumanGood, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live with enthusiasm, confidence and security regardless of physical, social or economic circumstances. That's why we offer affordable housing for low-income seniors ages 55 and older. 

Our mission is to help older adults live their best lives possible, and our values define how we create meaningful experiences for our residents: 

  • Passion: We care deeply about those we serve at HumanGood.
  • Inclusion: We are better when we include people of different backgrounds and perspectives.
  • Courage: We do what's right, even when it's hard.
  • Innovation: We find new and better ways to serve residents and team members. 
  • Impact: We judge ourselves based on our ability to move our mission forward.

Beyond simply building more affordable housing, we raise the bar in environmental and program design, innovative support services and ever-improving quality standards.

We recognize that our different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives ignite our mission, extend our reach and magnify our impact. Our values guide our work to build pride and passion within our organization by helping people feel honored, be seen and bring their best selves to their work. In order to do that, diversity, equality and inclusion must be part of our decision-making process.

We are committed to fostering environments where diversity is celebrated and valued in every corner of HumanGood.
