ORANGE COUNTY
WHY: Manages nonprofit working to stabilize, sustain and empower individuals and families out of poverty. 14th biggest nonprofit in OC, reporting $47.4M in revenue for year ended June 30, 2024.
QUOTABLE: “Today, nearly 1 in 4 Orange County residents live in or near poverty… For many employers, that statistic is more than just a social issue—it’s a business challenge. When workers can’t afford housing near their workplaces or transportation to get to their jobs, businesses struggle to recruit and retain talent. In fact, a recent UCI-OC Poll found that 51% of Orange County residents are considering leaving, with women, residents under 40, non-white individuals, and those without a college degree most likely to cite housing costs as the reason. Losing this portion of our workforce threatens the very foundation of our local economy.” —Leader Board
