Homelessness 101

About:The United to End Homelessness℠ initiative, empowered by Orange County United Way, is a powerful collaboration between Orange County’s top business, philanthropic, governmental, faith-based and nonprofit leaders. It also depends on caring residents like you who agree that we must act now if we are to end our community’s housing crisis. United to End Homelessness is committed to ending homelessness in Orange County so that everyone has a place to call home.Our Mission:Our goal is to end homelessness in our community by achieving functional zero within targeted populations, which include Veterans, youth, older adults, and families. This means that there will be services and housing available for every individual who may need them. We believe the solution to homelessness is a home; moving into permanent housing with supportive services gives a person a solid foundation to rebuild their life.
