Our mission is to restore Orange County’s families and individuals in crisis to self-sufficiency.

We have served over 76,000 families and individuals since our inception in 1987.

Our vision is to end homelessness in our community.

Our Programs

At any given time, a family may find itself in a crisis situation and not know where to turn for help. We’re committed to serving the needs of people in our community who are in crisis and experiencing homelessness, or at risk of homelessness, by providing model programs to address the causes of homelessness.

  • We generated in-kind donations of goods and services, valued at over $178,500.

Our work wouldn’t be possible with volunteer support.
