The Orange County Rescue Mission is a network of campuses, programs and individual services that provide the care that each person requires to move forward and reach their full potential. The men, women and children who enter the gates of the Orange County Rescue Mission come from many walks of life and are all wounded in different ways. Some are highly educated, many are survivors of abuse, addiction and abandonment. None of these people ever imagined they’d be homeless and they all need our help.
OC Rescue Mission’s programs include the following:
Village of Hope provides transitional and emergency housing for up to 262 homeless men, women, and children, and emergency housing for survivors of human trafficking. Along with a program that offers in-depth spiritual and personal growth, students have access to comprehensive services like counseling, job training, medical and dental care, and more to support and guide them into health and self-sufficiency.
Tustin Veterans Outpost reaches out to all veterans and their families needing housing and a hand up. Veterans receive the services and support to learn how to become self-sufficient in civilian life. The apartment complex offers transitional housing for 71 veterans and their families, along with veteran-specific services, including case management, an on-site chaplain, mental health services, educational assistance, food assistance, healthcare, legal services, job training, and employment placement.
Double R Ranch is a horse and livestock ranch where men, women, and children have a unique opportunity to experience the healing effects of time spent in the outdoors with animals, along with hands-on skill training. This amazing facility gives the students a safe place to learn how to care for others. It also serves as a weekend retreat for Village of Hope families. With the recent relocation of Double R Ranch, veterans and seniors will also benefit from the programs and transitional housing at Double R Ranch.
House of Hope was uniquely designed to help and house formerly homeless, now employed women and their children in the second phase of their program. Along with affordable housing, the women benefit from services such as parenting training, life skills coaching, sobriety support, and more, all in a family-oriented home environment.
Hope Family Housing is another step along the journey to self-sufficiency, for those in need of affordable housing. These communities in Buena Park and Orange serve as the final transition for formerly homeless individuals and families. Hope Family Housing’s primary goal is to provide affordable housing in an environment of independent living with program-driven and supportive services.
Strong Beginnings provides a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary response to the needs of women escaping human trafficking. Our response avoids re-traumatization and provides trauma-informed care through a victim-centered approach. Strong Beginnings includes emergency shelter, transitional housing, care coordination, case management, advocacy services, mental health assistance, food, clothing, counseling, healthcare, and more.
Parent and Child Enrichment Center is a vital feature of the program at Village of Hope. The 6,000 square foot Parenting Center offers staff and parent-led care for newborns and toddlers, age-appropriate activities for preschool-age children, and an on-site after-school tutoring program for school-age children. Also, parents receive hands-on coaching and attend classes to gain better parenting skills and support.
Success Center, located on the Village of Hope campus, is the hub of adult education, life-skills training, job-skills training, and ongoing employment services for all Village of Hope, Tustin Veterans Outpost, and Double R Ranch students, as well as Hope Family Housing tenants and Rescue Mission graduates.
Trinity Law Clinic operates at Village of Hope and serves the students of the Rescue Mission programs. It helps people resolve outstanding legal issues that are obstacles to financial self-sufficiency and to navigate the steps towards reunification with their children, all at no cost. In addition, the Trinity Mobile Legal Van serves impoverished and disabled persons in the community with free legal services.
The Chili Van Mobile Food Ministry provides warm meals to hundreds of people who are either homeless or lack the financial resources to put food on the table each day. The vehicles offer hot meals, beverages, and bread to thousands of at-risk people in poverty-stricken areas of Orange County. Chili Van volunteers pass out clothing, hygiene kits, and Bibles, often stop to pray with the people they serve and they tell people about the services offered at the Rescue Mission. *Please note: The Chili Van serves food throughout Orange County, but the schedules and locations vary. If you are in need of food assistance, please contact Calvary Church of Santa Ana at 714-973-4800, Dwelling Place Anaheim at 714-777-4777, or Second Harvest Food Bank for more information.
OC Rescue Outreach is a first touchpoint for serving the homeless community. The team works hand in hand with the local jails, law enforcement, churches, schools, and cities. Throughout the week, the team visits areas of high homeless concentration in Orange County to serve meals and offer care and support services while building relationships with the Least, the Last, and the Lost, serving as a bridge to Rescue Mission programs.
Hope Harbor consists of two homes that provide transitional and long-term housing and care for teen girls and boys at risk of homelessness. Teens live in a safe, structured, and life-transforming home environment with live-in house parents. The teens attend school, complete daily chores, participate in a church youth group, and volunteer in the community. They also receive individual and family counseling, case management, life-skills sessions, and tutoring.
Hurtt Family Health Clinic provides high-quality health care to students living on Rescue Mission campuses and others needing affordable healthcare. With four sites in Santa Ana, Anaheim, Tustin, and Village of Hope, the Clinic offers a full spectrum of health care services, including dental, mental health, and optometry. And a mobile medical unit provides adult and pediatric health care services to those without transportation.
