| OC Partnership Then |
|
| Shelter Hunger Partnership was started in July
1998 when Jim Palmer, Executive Director of the Orange County
Rescue Mission and other Executive Directors of Orange County
shelters agreed that the County needed a non profit partner
to assist with coordination and planning of Continuum of Care
activities. This public-private partnership was critical to
the success of the Continuum's ability to model the national
structure of HUD's vision of integrated local systems of care.
The focus of this new agency would be to serve as a liaison
between government agencies and non profit service providers
and to act as a singular voice to represent the issues of the
non profits. Modeled after the Shelter Partnership of Los Angeles,
the Shelter Hunger Partnership of Orange County's original mission
was to prevent and reduce homelessness and hunger in Orange
County through leadership, development, education, advocacy,
and planning. Shelter Hunger Partnership brought together the
non-profit, educational, faith based and public sectors to coordinate
homeless service activities. In the early years, Shelter HP
provided a resource bank, research and planning services, training
and technical support and served as a fiscal intermediary. The
original collaborative members were Biola University, the County
of Orange, Infolink (now 211 Orange County), Home Aid Orange
County, Irvine Temporary Homes (now Families Forward), Precious
Life Shelter, Anaheim Interfaith Shelter, the Disney Resort
and the Center for Non-Profit Sector Research.
