ORANGE COUNTY RESCUE MISSION INC

Founded in 1965, OCRM serves the impoverished and homeless of Orange County by meeting basic human needs for food, shelter, and housing. Over the last decade, our mission has guided the development of a continuum of care, multi-integrated services, and practical solutions to help transition homeless families and individuals into a life of financial self-sufficiency. With 470 shelter beds, OCRM is the largest privately funded provider of shelter beds and homeless services in Orange County, and one of few agencies that has the capacity to serve homeless men, women, and children within the same community.

OCRM services include safe shelter, daily meals, case management, medical, dental, optical, and chiropractic care, mental health services, tattoo removal, legal assistance, jail and prison reentry, completion of a high school diploma or equivalency, job training and placement, financial literacy, recovery support, parenting education, a preschool readiness program, and after-school tutoring. We provide these services to homeless families and individuals to obtain stability, health, and financial self-sufficiency.

OCRM programs include (1) Homeless Outreach and Prevention Services for homeless and impoverished families and individuals; (2) Transitional Housing programs (353-bed) for homeless men, women, children, veterans and veterans with family, and the formerly incarcerated for up to 24 months to help them achieve financial self-sufficiency and stability; (3) a 90-day (4-bed) Emergency Shelter for women escaping human trafficking and their children; and (4) Supportive Housing programs (70-bed) for homeless, working single women, working single mothers with children, and two-parent families as they transition out of homelessness and into financial stability.
