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.
