How We Work
The Hope Center’s operation is streamlined to ensure that those in need receive timely assistance. When you contact us with a non-emergency call concerning an unhoused person, our dispatch team takes over. During business hours, they will send our mobile team directly to the scene, ready to offer compassion and resources. Our mission is to meet individuals where they are and provide them with the hope and support necessary to navigate their challenges.

Where HOPE meets action
At HOPE Center of Orange County, we’re all about teamwork and making a real impact on homelessness. We’re a unique partnership spanning multiple cities and disciplines, all united by one mission: to provide reliable help and consistent support to those experiencing homelessness in the North Orange County Service Planning Area (SPA).
United in Purpose
We’re all about bringing together the efforts of North Orange County cities, local organizations, behavioral health practitioners, and community health workers. By working together, we’re able to plan, manage, and allocate resources more effectively, making sure help is available and appropriate for everyone who needs it.
Why this Matters
Traditional methods of addressing homelessness often miss the mark, leaving gaps that people can fall through. We’re here to fill those gaps by centralizing resources, coordinating responses, and integrating data. Together, we can make a real difference for those who need it most.
