Homelessness is often a problem that hides in the shadows and we often don’t think of Orange County as an area rife with homelessness. Truth is, this is a public health crisis that we can no longer turn a blind eye to. According to resources provided by the Homeless Shelters Directory, as of 2019, There were an estimated 6,860 homeless individuals in Orange County California. The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) states, “As of January 2020, California had an estimated 161,548 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Of that Total, 8,030 were family households, 11,401 were Veterans, 12,172 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 51,785 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.”
