Homelessness and Poverty in Orange County

  • Orange County, CA: Second highest Housing Wage Level in U.S. (hourly wages to afford housing)
  • 35,000+ homeless people live in Orange County*
  • According to the 2010-2011 Orange County Department of Education
           - 1 in 17 children in Orange County is homeless
           - 28,000+ Orange County PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS live in unstable housing conditions
           - 26,084 live in doubled/tripled-up housing
           - 973 live in motels
           - 928 live in shelters
           - 106 live in unsheltered surroundings (parks, campgrounds)
  • Shortage of shelter beds and many with high-entry qualifications, leave average homeless people on the streets

1 in 3 homeless children living in motels will be served by FOCUS Orange County again this year!

In 2011, FOCUS Orange County had over 400 Volunteers who donated over 6,650 hours. Thank you to all our Volunteers for your generous love and support!
