“Homelessness is truly an epidemic in Orange County, and every child deserves a place to call home. I believe so strongly that the path to ending family homelessness begins when we act as a collective community and embrace families who are struggling. The Family Promise model mobilizes this community and enables people to coordinate their compassion to work together to end family homelessness.”
