They have limited or no formal higher education with limited or no viable employment skills. They are homeless single female head of households who benefit from stable housing in a structured environment providing intensive intervention, direction, guidance, motivation, and accountability. Colette’s Children’s Home is unique in that they are one of the few housing and service providers in Orange County that serve women with these or other challenges making it difficult to find shelter. 100% of the clients they serve are below the low to moderate income range with most falling into the extremely low-income range. They prioritize clients who are literally homeless; living on the streets, in vehicles or coming from emergency shelters. Their goal for each client is to enhance and provide a suitable living environment for them to help get them on the road to self-sufficiency. This project is needed to increase the county’s capacity to provide housing for homeless and low income individuals.

Project Need. This 8.1 mile, 12-foot wide multi-use linear heritage trail is regularly used by both tourists and residents for walking, biking, rollerblading, running, horseback riding and bird watching. The trail is experiencing increased use for bikes and running events available in the region including the Xxxxxx Riverwalk Run, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Memorial 5k, the Blackwater Glow Run, and the Xxxxxx/Xxxxx Memorial Century Bike Race.

Project Need. The Brea Senior Center, exceeding 100 years of age while serving approximately 52,000 seniors annually, is in need of kitchen improvements in order for it to remain an efficient, accessible, functional and safe environment for the increasing number of low-income seniors and the community it serves. The longstanding building provides a safe setting for seniors to participate in many activities and services geared towards their needs, including nutrition. The kitchen at the Senior Center is used by staff and senior volunteers at least five days per week to prepare and service a hot, nutritious lunch. The home-delivered meals program also utilizes the kitchen. Both programs heavily rely on senior volunteers who are in and out of the kitchen for hours at a time. The kitchen is in need of many improvements so that it is more easily accessible, functional, safe, well ventilated, and is space efficient considering increasing demands.
Project Need. The project is needed to ensure ADA compliance on a street and sidewalk as well as ensuring various curb ramps meet ADA compliance.
