The foundation is seeking the community's help with sponsorships and/or donors.
All gifts and donations are tax deductible. The foundation is a 501(c)3 – tax ID 71-1047686.
The mission of the foundation is to bridge the gap in existing services for the most underserved and to help break and prevent the cycle of homelessness.
The foundation’s public/private partnership combines housing and social services with healthcare and behavioral mental health services to reduce the impact of homelessness and to reduce people's vulnerability to future homelessness.
The foundation offers a low-entry threshold to advanced health and housing stability for the most vulnerable in the community, with a focus on families with children.
They work to empower adults with tools to become self-sufficient and to inspire children to grow up to be independent and productive adults.
The interim housing program bridges the gap between emergency shelters and permanent housing, so as to provide stable housing and comprehensive services to underserved homeless families with children – serving 271 families to date, made up of 572 children and 400 adults.
Also, the Interim Supportive Shelter provides homeless families from the Orange County cold weather armories with housing in motel rooms and on-site services to effectively transition those being served by the program into permanent housing.
Other programs they provide include permanent supportive housing, recuperative care, medical outreach and they also provide motel families with in-home case management.
