Continuum
of Care Activities
For the past several years, leadership and coordination of Orange
County’s Continuum of Care planning process has been the shared
responsibility of OC Partnership, 2-1-1
Orange County
and the Orange
County Housing and Community Services Department.
This public - nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive,
regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the
number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout
Orange County. This group serves as the regional convener of
the year-round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the
involvement of the public and private agencies that make-up
the regional homeless system of care.
The Orange County Continuum of Care system consists of six basic
components: |
 |
Advocacy
on behalf of those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless |
|
A
system of outreach, assessment, and prevention for determining
the needs and conditions of an individual or family who is homeless;
|
|
Emergency
shelters with appropriate supportive services to help ensure
that homeless individuals and families receive adequate emergency
shelter and referrals |
|
Transitional
housing to help those homeless individuals and families who
are not prepared to make the transition to permanent housing
and independent living; and |
|
Permanent
housing, or permanent supportive housing, to help meet the long
term needs of homeless individuals and families. |
|
Reducing
chronic homeless in Orange County & addressing the needs
of homeless families & individuals using motels to meet
their housing needs. |
