Orangewood and its partners now offer housing options for youth to meet their unique situation, from emergency housing, to transitional housing, to placement in permanent housing for voucher and non-voucher holders, to homelessness prevention and emergency rental assistance, all accompanied by culturally relevant, trauma-informed mental health support.
A Leading Provider
Orange County faces a severe shortage of beds and housing units reserved specifically for youth and young adults. Orangewood led the way by filling 58% of these units with youth who seek our services at the ORC. Additionally, we placed 84 youth in emergency shelters across our community, and provided $180,400 in direct financial assistance to help prevent youth from becoming homeless or move into stable housing after transitioning from a temporary placement.
