Celebrating
Director's Message
Y E A R S Since OC Community Resources was formed in 2008, our mission was and has remained, connecting people and resources. Together, we have dedicated 10 years of service to the community. While our success calls for celebration, it also calls for progressive thinking because, with certainty, our greatest accomplishments to the community still lie ahead of us.
"TOGETHER, WE HAVE DEDICATED 10 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY." We are a service-driven public agency that continuously seeks to achieve its mission of connecting people and resources. Whether facing or experiencing homelessness, requiring assistance with putting a roof over one’s head, accessing veteran’s benefits, job training for a career, or assistance in one’s golden years; whether seeking recreational opportunities or a quiet place to read, research or study; whether seeking to give a new life to an animal or save one from the streets, we are here to help.
Dylan Wright Director
I am proud to present this annual report for Fiscal Year 2017–18 not only to highlight the accomplishments of our incredible team but also to set a road map for future successes. With continued support from the Board of Supervisors and the County Executive Office, OC Community Resources will continue to successfully connect people and resources.

OC Animal Care This year brought about many changes for OC Animal Care as the department worked towards embracing progressive animal care practices on a brand new campus. Thanks to the leadership of the Board of Supervisors and our 14 contract cities, OC Animal Care moved into its new 10-acre campus in March, opening our doors to over 1,500 visitors on the first day. The $35 million dollar investment by the County and its partner cities is simply the first step toward an intentional, animal-focused future for homeless pets in Orange County. It’s an undisputed fact that every animal deserves to be in a loving home. When a lost or abandoned animal comes to the shelter it is essential they are individually assessed, medically treated and behaviorally evaluated to ensure they find their way home - or to their new “forever home” - as swiftly as possible.
"WE ARE COMMITTED TO SERVING EACH ANIMAL INDIVIDUALLY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, ITS SAFETY AND THE PETS WE CALL OUR OWN." In May of this year, the OC Board of Supervisors took affirmative action to ensure this future for the new shelter by adopting the OC Animal Care Strategic Plan. The plan’s tenants are structured to guide the shelter, the department and the care of animals in Orange County in a specific manner, by calling out strategic priorities ranging from animal care and enrichment, stakeholder engagement and marketing, culture and organizational development, fiscal stewardship and sustainability and finally, the opening of our new shelter and regional learning center. The newly adopted vision of OC Animal Care is to promote a safe and compassionate community for all. Our mission is to provide refuge and care for animals, to foster the human-animal bond and to promote safety in our community. These commitments are not taken lightly as we care for the 18,000 animals that come through our doors each year. We are committed to serving each animal individually to meet the needs of the community, its safety and the pets we call our own. It has been an honor to serve in the role as interim director and we welcome the nationally recognized expertise and leadership that our new director, Mike Kaviani, will bring to OC Animal Care.

OC Community Services It's a very exciting time for OC Community Services (OCCS) as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary as part of the OC Community Resources (OCCR) organization. The number of seniors and veterans residing in Orange County is steadily rising every year, while funding continues to remain flat. Though the employment rate in Orange County is at an all-time low, in today's high-tech global economy, educated and skilled workers remain very much in high demand.
"OUR EMPHASIS AND COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE ARE VITAL PARTS OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN..." After a decade of steady progress, we continue to focus on improving and expanding our services. We take pride in finding creative ways to dramatically increase programs, services and participation levels. Our emphasis and commitment to improving client services will focus on seeking additional funding, automating processes, participating in important research, increasing data collection, and local and regional planning efforts. A special thank you to the OCCS team for their focused commitment and dedication to improving services and increasing accessibility to our programs. Without them, we simply would not be where we are today! We have a decade of good work behind us, but a very challenging 10 years ahead of us.

OC Parks OC Parks offers 60,000 acres of parks, beaches and open space in the County of Orange. But even more important than the number of acres are the ways our visitors spend their time in OC Parks. For some, it’s hiking or running the trails. Others like to take to the trails on a bike or a horse. Families bring children and grandchildren to the playgrounds, or reserve picnic shelters to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. Children learn to fish in our lakes, and multiple generations gather together on holidays like Easter and Mother’s Day.
"THE COUNTY’S PARKS AND OPEN SPACE MEAN SO MUCH TO RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND OUR STAFF." The County’s parks and open space mean so much to residents, visitors and our staff. They also provide vital habitat for local wildlife. Caring for these places is a job we take very seriously, and we keep all this in mind as we update our 10-year Strategic Plan. As part of this update, OC Parks surveyed more than 4,500 people about their thoughts on OC Parks. I was gratified to learn that survey respondents rated OC Parks highly overall (4.3/5.0) with an excellent enjoyment of their visits (4.4/5.0) and strong customer service (4.3/5.0). We plan to have our Strategic Plan completed in Fiscal Year 2018-19 and I look forward to sharing the plan that will guide our next 10 years.
