Mission
2-1-1 Orange County was founded in 1984 as People for Irvine Community Health. Since its inception, the agency has been connecting residents in need to critical social services in Orange County such as housing, job placement, food, and health insurance. 211OC is dedicated to building an Orange County where: By building a Coordinated Entry System for the region that offers a single point of entry into the network of services, 211OC helps secure housing for chronically homeless people and help them maintain it. Our trained community wellness and resource navigators help OC residents apply for the CalFresh program. The Point-in-Time count and survey of the homeless population in Orange County is a vital tool for ending homelessness, and helps the county qualify for more than $19,000,000 in federal funding for services to reduce homelessness. EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A QUALITY LIFE 211OC helps screen residents for eligibility in programs that can save them money, which in turn improves quality of life.
