<p><strong>ABOUT ORANGE COUNTY RESCUE MISSION</strong></p> <p>The Orange County Rescue Mission (OCRM) of Tustin, Calif., adjacent to Santa Ana, is a <strong>faith-based para-church organization that provides long-term transitional housing services for homeless men and women</strong> who are in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Under the organization’s flagship transitional living facility, an <strong>expansive, campus-like complex known as the Village of Hope (VOH)</strong>, ORCM strives to both meet the basic food, clothing, and shelter needs of its program participants while addressing more complex matters of emotional, spiritual, and legal nature.</p> <p><a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">One of 699 (53.3 percent) nonprofit organizations in the state</a>, ORCM does not provide any detoxification services. Applicants are drug tested before admission.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>All clients undergo a <strong>biopsychosocial assessment</strong> prior to beginning treatment to determine their most pressing needs. The Village of Hope is a <strong>four-phase program</strong> that may extend for up to two years, based on a client’s progress made. Over the course of the program, clients take part in a curriculum that offers up opportunities for <strong>training, education, and experience in developing life skills, finding employment</strong>, and other activities essential to healthy, sober living.</p> <p>Typically, programming combines <strong>work-therapy, vocational training and internships, educational workshops, individual and family counseling</strong>, as well as faith-based activities to promote self-sufficiency and a strengthened, lasting sobriety. Clients also have access to <strong>medical and dental care, case management</strong>, prayer services and weekly discipleship classes, and leisure time. Those with children can benefit from practical, “heart based” training through VOH’s Parenting and Child Enrichment Center. <strong>On-site childcare</strong> is also available, making ORCM <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">just one of 170 (13 percent) facilities in the state of California to offer such services</a>.</p> <p>Clients begin Phase I by <strong>working a full-time and on-site job</strong> and by attending weekly classes, <strong>counseling sessions</strong>, and chapel services. Also known as “students” at this point, clients complete regular assignments in a series of discipleship workbooks and are <strong>required to stay on grounds for the first six months of the program</strong>.</p> <p>Following completion of Phase I, clients begin preparing for employment within the community. Along with group participation and chapel attendance, clients start <strong>attending workshops at ORCM’s Success Center</strong>. These workshops offer opportunity for <strong>career exploration, skills application, interviews, sending applications</strong>, creating resumes, and other skills needed to obtain a job.</p> <p>Once prepared, clients <strong>begin to actively search for a job</strong>. They can also begin enrolling in school or a vocational training program. After obtaining employment, they’ll transition into Phase III, where they’re expected to <strong>maintain their full-time job and comply with other program requirements</strong>. As certain milestones are met, and readiness is demonstrated, residents <strong>prepare for graduation (Phase IV)</strong>, which may involve securing safe housing, creating a budget, setting up childcare, and obtaining a reliable mode of transportation.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Village of Hope employs a large multidisciplinary team of physicians, licensed professional counselors, social workers, chaplains, case managers, child psychologists, and childcare specialists. <strong>The program also partners with community professionals and volunteers</strong> who provide specialized services such as dental care and career assistance.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The <strong>262-bed transitional living facility</strong> known as Village of Hope is situated on a decommissioned military base. Its large, campus-like complex <strong>spans more than 150,000 square feet of facilities</strong> across five acres. Residents sleep in two restored barracks, which can accommodate up to 192 individuals. </p> <p>The expansive grounds feature a 288-seat chapel and auditorium, the <strong>Parenting and Child Enrichment Center</strong>, the Success Center, two basketball courts, a children’s playground, a hair salon, and a <strong>large community garden</strong> which provides produce for the kitchen in the summer months.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>In the sole Rehabs.com survey to date, an anonymous alum celebrated nearly all aspects of Village of Hope. Despite a two-star rating for treatment effectiveness, the alum gave five out of five stars for the counseling options, family programming, staff’s level of training and experience, treatment for co-occurring disorders, and more. “They help you with a place to live and transportation and even helping you go back to school," alum M.T. wrote.</p> <p><strong>Reviews available across secondary sources held the organization and its staff in similarly high regard</strong>. On Google, for example, where more than 90 individuals awarded ORCM an excellent average rating of 4.6 out of five stars, many praised the quality of the campus and its caring staff.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> “They have helped my family and myself for years,” Shawn, a five-star reviewer wrote in a representative statement.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com has yet to receive any feedback from loved ones, <strong>secondary sources revealed similarly favorable views and experiences amongst friends and family members</strong>.</p> <p>On the organization’s official Facebook page, which it has the ability to manage, ORCM boasts an excellent average rating of <strong>4.7 out of five stars from over 140 individuals</strong>.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> “The Mission saved me and my children from the darkness i created and i am forever blessed and thankful for the amazing work this organization has done for me and my life and the lives of so many others,” wrote grateful mother Allysson.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Orange County Rescue Mission aims to assist homeless and poor individuals in “the most cost-effective way” possible. It’s programs, such as the Village of Hope, are <strong>supported largely by private donations</strong>. For each dollar gifted, 83 cents go directly to helping the homeless.</p> <p>Once clients gain employment and are able to make the commitment, <strong>ORCM may require clients to pay a fee</strong> at a nominal percentage of their weekly earnings.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+County+Rescue+Mission+in+Tustin%2C+CA&rlz=1C1RUCY_enUS690US690&oq=Orange+County+Rescue+Mission+in+Tustin%2C+CA&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80dcdeaaf48f33df:0x3ea27edea5283d6f,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/orangecountyrescuemission/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/orangecountyrescuemission/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small></p>
