PEOPLE AT THE HEART OF OUR MISSION 2019 was an inspirational year of Doing More. We continued to transform our county’s future through the dedication and commitment of the many visionary individuals, businesses and valued volunteers who work alongside us.
“IT ISN’T EQUIPMENT THAT WINS THE
Then, as we prepared this report in early 2020, our world, our nation and our community faced challenges we never expected. The COVID-19 global pandemic impacted everyone, but none more so than our most vulnerable neighbors. In response, Orange County United Way rapidly established our Pandemic Relief Fund. Powered by the unified energy and resources of volunteers and donors, it’s assisting thousands of households at imminent risk of homelessness as well as the shelter system that serves Orange County’s homeless population. It’s providing books and support to low-income students. And we’re partnering with other nonprofits to supply basic needs such as food to our most vulnerable people and families.
GENE KRANZ, NASA FLIGHT DIRECTOR, APOLLO 11
While we’re not the only ones providing vital assistance, these extraordinary efforts show what makes Orange County United Way different: our team of passionate individuals who strive to provide equity and create opportunities for all. Our unique mission is fueled by the strength of these dedicated people as well as our focus on local children, individuals and families, and our homeless neighbors. No matter the circumstances, our approach is constant—we take action. Add our ability to bring the power of this entire community together with
BATTLES; IT IS THE QUALITY AND THE DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE IN WHICH THEY BELIEVE.”
our accountability, data-driven mindset and record of delivering measurable outcomes against clearly defined goals, and we believe there is no other nonprofit better equipped to address Orange County’s human needs, now and in the future. The people of Orange County United Way will continue to touch lives, one by one. We’ll work even harder to close more gaps, remove barriers and level the playing field for every single person in our community. We’re united to ensure every student has the opportunity to graduate, every individual can live a healthier life, every family is able to achieve financial stability, and everyone has a safe place to call home. If you are already with us, thank you. If you’re ready to join us, read on to learn how to be a part of our mission to improve lives. Sincerely,
Susan B. Parks President & CEO

MISSION:
HOUSING
We believe the solution to homelessness is a home: Moving into permanent housing with supportive services gives a person a solid foundation to rebuild their life. In 2019, we helped more people find permanent housing and introduced new public awareness programs to overcome misperceptions and inspire community members to advocate and participate in this issue. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ending homelessness in our community

> Army veteran Day returned from
deployment in 2012 and was diagnosed with PTSD. Even working 60-hour weeks and two jobs, she couldn’t build enough savings for move-in costs plus rent. Day became homeless and was living in a borrowed car. Her situation seemed hopeless. But then our WelcomeHomeOC program helped her find an apartment where she could use her housing voucher. She pays 30% of her income toward the rent on her new home.
“I think I would still be living in a car right now without United Way.” — Day

A year of empowerment
>
In its second year, our United to End Homelessness initiative tackled the immediate need to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness find a place to call home.
Housed 30 in 30 days Our â&#x20AC;&#x153;House 30â&#x20AC;? campaign raised $500,000 in 30 days. These funds covered expenses to help house 30 local individuals and families with disabilities and opened the door for additional housing vouchers for Orange County.
WelcomeHomeOC housed 100 In its first year, WelcomeHomeOC housed more than 100 people, ending their homelessness. Our program was endorsed by the Apartment Association of Orange County, with 38 apartment owners joining our network.
Foster Youth to Independence Our new campaign through WelcomeHomeOC housed 25 former foster youth. We helped them find a place to call home using new Foster Youth to Independence vouchers issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). When HUD Regional Administrator Christopher Patterson, a former foster child, visited in 2019, he met Christian, one of the voucher recipients. Christian proudly gave a tour of his apartment in Tustin, which was located and furnished with the assistance of United Way. He and other OC residents who have aged out of foster care are creating new, self-sufficient lives, thanks to this collaborative program.
Homelessness 101 reached 18 OC cities Our Homelessness 101 classes helped educate, dispel myths and provide best practices for solving homelessness.
$2.9 million to house homeless veterans
New pilot champions housing solutions
State Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris secured a $2.9 million allocation from the California state budget to expand WelcomeHomeOC and help end Veteran Homelessness in our county.
We piloted a Housing Champion Advocacy Network to organize ground-level support. Champions are motivated and mobilized to urge elected leaders to create supportive housing solutions as quickly as possible.

> Sheryll was on her way to
a college degree when she divorced. To make ends meet for herself and three children, she gave up school to work multiple jobs. Then UpSkill OC turned things around. A career assessment helped Sheryll identify her talents in computer science. After a training program with UpSkill OC partner CISOSHARE, a local cybersecurity firm, she landed an internship and then a fulltime job. Sheryll tripled her income within two months.
“Feeding my kids and keeping a roof over their heads always has to come first. When I got into UpSkill OC, United Way helped me get the qualifications for a job that pays more. I have financial security and the confidence to support my family.” — Sheryll

“When I’m by myself and get hungry, sometimes I make cereal or eat chips. But now my mom gets to go to the food pantry. She gets apples, potatoes and asparagus. I learned about eating healthy at school and I like having fruits and vegetables in our house.” — Jayden
> Preparing wholesome meals was
challenging for Jayden’s parents. They hold multiple jobs to support the family; fresh produce and meats are luxuries. A food pantry sponsored by the Women’s Philanthropy Fund visits their son’s elementary campus monthly, and they make sure to get there. It has been a huge relief to give Jayden the nutrition he needs so he can do well in school and grow up strong. In addition, Jayden’s mom and dad have gotten involved with the parent committee at their son’s school to advocate for after-school programming to keep kids active and ensures that school lunches include healthy choices.

Although the high school graduation rate for Orange County students exceeds the statewide average, students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged are earning diplomas at a lower rate. We believe that even one OC dropout is one too many. We supported more local students to excel in school and prepare for a productive life.

year at Santiago High School in Garden Grove, his future seemed uncertain. Evicted from their apartment, his family moved in with his grandparents who live in Anaheim. The long commute to school and a job added stress. The bright spot for Mario came when he landed an internship with the City of Westminster through Youth Career Connections. He finished the year with a 4.0 GPA, real-world experience and the confidence to pursue his college and career aspirations.
“Life is not a game where if you mess up you can restart all over. I want to succeed in life, and I plan to take my family with me for us all to succeed.” — Mario
