SUMMARY:

 

Acceptance of the 2025 Annual Report for the Commission to Address Homelessness (Commission) provides the Board of Supervisor’s an update on the Commission’s activities and accomplishments.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The Commission to Address Homelessness (Commission) works in collaboration with the County of Orange (County), thirty-four city governments, business sector, philanthropic organizations, community organizations, faith-based organizations, health care, public safety, and other interested stakeholders to promote an effective response to homelessness within Orange County. The membership is comprised of nineteen voting members.

 

On February 25, 2025, the Orange County Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the revised Commission to Address Homelessness Bylaws. During the meeting, an additional revision to the Bylaws was made which states an annual report presenting the Commission’s activities and accomplishments of the preceding year will be prepared and submitted to the Board.

 

In 2025, the Commission continued to serve as a vital advisory Board on the topic of homelessness by providing informed guidance, fostering collaboration, and navigating increasingly complex changes in policy and funding. The Commission’s work throughout 2025 reflected a dual commitment to strengthening its internal structure while remaining responsive to emerging challenges and opportunities across the local, state and federal landscape.

 

At the February 18, 2026, meeting, the Commission approved a draft 2025 Annual Report for submission to the Board.
