We envision an Orange County community where no one goes to bed hungry or without a place to call home.

Housing

We provide homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services by offering rental and utility assistance as well as affordable housing to households who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Food

Our food program distributes over 700,000 pounds of emergency, non-perishable, and fresh food to over 6,000 residents annually.

Education

Our educational programs help clients develop financial literacy and build professional skills to prevent homelessness and increase job opportunities.

South County Outreach has been providing services to our neighbors in need since 1989. How do we do that? Let’s take a look at what it takes to make this all happen every day.
