Orange County Rescue Mission

Prevention, Outreach and Emergency Services and Programs: Eighty-one percent of the total budget is delivered directly to beneficiaries for program services at no cost to the beneficiaries, 100% of which is privately donated. We provide prevention, outreach, and emergency services and programs to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness through the provision of hot meals, food boxes, clothing, hygiene kits, and referrals to health care and emergency or transitional housing programs, with the goal of preventing or ending homelessness for men, women, children and veterans. In this year, there were a total of 17,414 client encounters and the following were provided: 736,433 outreach meals and food boxes, 1,502,644 units of clothing, 4,100 hygiene kits and 10,654 referrals. OCRM successfully achieved 100% of this goal.

Supportive Housing, Affordable Housing, Restorative Communities Supportive housing, affordable housing and independent living communities house two-parent families, single-parent families and single adults who were homeless or living in poverty motels. Longer term housing is provided for those individuals to allow them time to stabilize their financial situation while receiving supportive services such as case management, life skills training and guidance to become financially self-sufficient. In 2025, we provided: 50,030 bed nights, 1,646 life skills and education sessions and 762 individual client coaching sessions. OCRM successfully achieved 100% of this goal.

Emergency & Transitional Housing Programs Programs are provided at multiple campuses for homeless men, women, children and veterans and survivors of human trafficking. Our goal is to end homelessness for individuals and families that seek assistance in a faith based program and is designed to restore hearts and lives to financial self-sufficiency through the provision of spiritual and personal development, case management, counseling, medical and dental care, mental health care, career counseling, education, job training and legal consultations. In 2025, we provided: 105,448 bed nights, 165,778 meals, 18,072 individual client coaching sessions, 28,947 life skills and general education sessions, 6,389 vocational and job training sessions, 37,795 medical, dental and mental health care assessments and treatments, 7,191 tutoring hours and 412 legal consultations.
