Staff

For over forty years, the goal at Veterans First has been to honor every brave man and woman who has served this country by helping restore dignity to those whose sacrifices defending the freedoms we cherish have left them in need.

Veterans First provides housing and essential services for Orange County’s homeless and at-risk veterans as well as services for families of at-risk vets and deployed military members.

Veterans First currently operates 10 permanent and transitional housing facilities at a capacity of 122 total beds for employable and disabled veterans within 3 Northern Orange County cities (Anaheim, Garden Grove and Santa Ana). Each home is staffed 24/7 with a house manager that can assist our clients with making sure that they are working towards a successful completion of our program. Each house is also staffed with a cook that provides nutritious meals to our clients. Additionally, Veterans First in the summer of 2011 began operating the county’s only transitional housing facility for unaccompanied homeless female veterans.

Tender Touch Ministries is pleased to announce a partnership with Working Wardrobes, an Orange County-based non-profit organization that empowers men, women, veterans and young adults in overcoming difficult challenges to confidently enter the workforce and achieve self-sufficiency. They provide career assessments, skills training, career development services, job placement assistance and professional wardrobes in an environment of dignity and respect.

Working Wardrobes has been serving the community since 1990.

 Tender Touch Ministries will act as a facilitator by incorporating many of Working Wardrobes’ services into their homeless advocacy framework.
