Core Services and Actionable Solutions
The event is organized into six specific operational pillars to streamline how attendees find assistance:
- Apply: On-site representatives from agencies like the OC Social Services Agency and the Department of Veterans Affairs will help attendees apply directly for crucial public assistance benefits. These include CalFresh, Medi-Cal, General Relief, CalWORKs, and dedicated veteran benefit services.
- Link: Attendees can access treatment navigation, regional care coordination, legal resources, and specialized re-entry services. Key participating partners providing these links include the OC Health Care Agency, VOALA, Public Law Center, and Project Kinship.
- Referral: Community-based programs, mental health services, and enhanced care management will be available. Navigators from 2-1-1 Orange County, Koinonia Family Services, and Thrive Together OC will be present to manage these direct care referrals.
- Access: Immediate aid pathways will be open for emergency shelter placement, housing navigation, workforce development services, and immigration assistance. Organizations supporting this section include the Office of Care Coordination, OC Workforce Solutions, HIRE, and World Relief Social.
- Receive: Attendees can access immediate tangible goods and personal care, including free haircuts, wound care, personal hygiene supplies, and low-cost cellphone services. These services are provided through grassroots support from the Orange Elks Lodge, Mobility United, Revival Hair Outreach, and Wound Walk.
- Resolve: One of the most impactful elements of the fair is the inclusion of a pop-up Homeless Court program. Representatives from the OC Public Defender and the OC District Attorney will be present on-site, allowing individuals to resolve outstanding warrants and consult directly with defense attorneys to eliminate legal barriers to housing and employment.
Instead of simply handing out informational brochures, the fair focuses on immediate fulfillment, allowing attendees to walk away with verified services, legal resolutions, and essential supplies on the exact same day…
