Orange County’s Top Leaders Unite To End Homelessness
02.27.18
“United to End Homelessness,” a community-wide initiative led by Orange County United Way and comprised of top leaders from business, philanthropic, government and faith-based sectors will officially launch on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at University of California, Irvine.
Its mission is to ensure that integrated and sustainable solutions are implemented for people suffering from homelessness in Orange County. At the event, “United to End Homelessness” will announce its leadership team while rolling out a comprehensive Public Awareness campaign to educate the Orange County community about who the homeless are, their needs and what must happen to provide long-term, sustainable solutions. This includes bringing existing and new units online to permanently house our community’s homeless individuals.
The program will be led by United Way President and CEO Susan B. Parks and will include remarks by Irvine Mayor Don Wagner, UC Irvine Chancellor Howard Gillman, United to End Homelessness Leadership Council Chair Larry Armstrong, and Robert Morse, a formerly homeless individual-turned local homeless advocate. Rick and Kay Warren, Saddleback Church, will also participate via video message.
