Our Name
Live Plenty Homes wants to enable people to live a life that is rich, full, and meaningful — not in the sense of material excess, but in experiences, relationships, and community. We want our family, friends, and neighbors to have what they need without worry, sprawl or waste. We want to see people thriving in inviting communities and joyful lives.
Live Well. Live Plenty.
Our Mandate
Everyone needs a home.
-
Housing is foundational for physical health, mental well being, social cohesion.
-
Housing is critical for kids to achieve educational outcomes
-
Housing is a baseline for economic prosperity
-
Housing is a precondition for good community health
-
Without stable, economically attainable housing for all ages, we prevent existing and future generations from realizing their potential
Our Team
Elaine Uang
Founder
Elaine is an architect / developer with over 20 years of experience in architecture, city collaboration, and nonprofit partnerships. She has experience designing and developing a range of housing typologies, but currently focuses on small-scale infill housing—duplexes, townhomes, and co-housing clusters to make housing more attainable for middle-income residents.
She specializes in turning overlooked opportunities into housing models that are beautiful, functional, and replicable. With deep experience in entitlements, permitting, design coordination, technical detailing, and project management, Elaine brings pragmatic solutions and delightful outcomes to every project.
Through Live Plenty Homes, Elaine's goal is not just to build homes—but to expand possibilities, inspire others to do the same, and grow a network of mission-driven developers who want to create a housing abundance to support Bay Area individuals, families, communities.
