The revitalized Orange County Housing Trust, powered by NeighborWorks Orange County and Orange County Business Council, will provide a private financing vehicle to help bring permanent supportive and affordable housing projects in Orange County across the finish line.
With an immediate need to house 2,700 people experiencing homelessness, the Orange County Housing Trust provides nimble funding solutions to immediately increase the supply and options of permanent supportive and affordable housing in Orange County.
Orange County Housing Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit private capital-funded housing trust powered by the skills of NeighborWorks Orange County and Orange County Business Council – two leading organizations committed to making Orange County a vibrant place to live, work and play.
Local business leaders have rallied around the housing-first mission of Orange County Housing Trust, with Disneyland Resort providing the first $5 million private grant. Recognizing that effective models addressing affordable housing around the country have involved the collective efforts of everyone in our community, the business community is ready to step up to the plate in addressing this serious issue.
Permanent supportive and affordable housing projects are often complex developments that require numerous creative funding sources. Orange County Housing Trust will complement the collective efforts of private and public parties united in tackling our homelessness issue by efficiently bridging the funding gap for these projects throughout the region.
