Health & Home: Building Wellness in the Heart of Live Oak
1500 Capitola Road is a vibrant health and housing campus that addresses critical needs for increased access to healthcare and affordable housing. The first mixed-use development of its kind in Santa Cruz unites:
Santa Cruz Community Health to build a 20,000 square foot, two-story facility that provides medical, behavioral health, and specialty care with a focus on pediatrics (open 2022). Our mission is to improve the health of our patients and the community and advocate the feminist goals of social, political, and economic equality.
Dientes Community Dental Care to build a new 11-chair clinic to provide high quality, comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages (open 2022). We are on a mission to create lasting oral health for the low-income children, adults and seniors of Santa Cruz County and neighboring communities.
MidPen Housing to build 57 apartment homes, creating a community known as Bienestar Plaza, which is aiding in filling a critical gap in affordable housing in Santa Cruz, one of the most expensive housing markets in the country (open fall 2023). MidPen’s mission is to provide safe, affordable housing of high quality to those in need and to establish stability and opportunity in the lives of our residents. To express interest in living at Bienestar Plaza, please click here to submit an inquiry with MidPen Housing and the leasing team will follow up as the waitlist opens on April 24, 2023 and closes on May 12, 2023.
