About 1736 Family Crisis Center

Since 1972, 1736 Family Crisis Center has been responding to the growing needs of victims of domestic violence, runaway and homeless youth, homeless families, homeless and at-risk Veterans, unemployed adults and youth, and other low-income community members in need of assistance. They are dedicated to providing professional, cutting-edge, comprehensive programs that are managed by licensed therapists, attorneys and their experienced staff.

1736 Family Crisis Center’s Rapid Re-Housing for Homeless Veterans-OC (RRHHV-OC) program proudly serves homeless Veterans and Veteran households of Orange County. Their goal is to help veteran families who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis.  The services that they provide include: temporary financial assistance (rental and deposit fees), housing counseling services, personal financial planning, case management, and daily living services (referrals). They also assist with the retrieval of government documentation such as DD-214, Social Security documents, homeless verification forms, etc. Eligible Veterans’ discharge status must be dishonorable, general under honorable, other than honorable or Reserve National Guard, and he/she must meet income eligibility criteria based on area median income.

OC Veterans Report Reinforces Critical Need for Outreach

Last week, the Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF) issued a compelling report demonstrating military veterans coming home to Orange County have powerful obstacles when adjusting to civilian life.  In the worst cases, returning veterans faced great challenges in securing adequate employment, finding stable housing and meeting physical and mental health needs. OCCF unveiled the report to 250 donors and business and community leaders, preceded by an address from Admiral Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 28th Chief of Naval Operations.

 

Sixty-one percent of post-9/11 veterans report adjustment challenges; compared to 30 percent of pre-9/11 veterans.
