Here is a brief introduction to the Orange County Catholic Worker.
#
We are four Catholic Workers, hundreds of guests and countless volunteers. We are brought together in an attempt to say, "who Jesus is" without using words.
#
Instead, we use good food, 3500 hot meals each week, and a warm place to stay for up to 120 people each night. We use old clothes, about a ton each week. We use 48 rolls of toilet paper and two boxes of 43-gallon trash bags. That's in just one week, and we do this every week of the year.
#
We're open all day, every day, 365 days a year. We don't do this for money, because no one at the Catholic Worker is paid: we're all volunteers. We do it because Jesus has been so very good to us; we do it because we're grateful. We have been given the gift of life and we have no other choice but to share it with everyone as need and talent dictate.
#
We think we're the luckiest people in the world, and we're the best-kept secret in the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Orange.
My thoughts on it - got that right. There are many people who use this and one is a lady from here hopefuldella when she can get there with her two dogs while her husband and son stay at the Mercy House when it is cold and raining like today.
It is really horrible that people in this day and age are homeless or facing homelessness.

Mercy House, one of Southern California’s premier advocates of the homeless, providing a unique system of dignified housing alternatives, programs, and supportive services, today announced that it has been awarded a contract by the County of Orange, OC Community Services Homeless Prevention division, to provide site management of its “Cold Weather Armory Program” for FY 2008-2009. The county has two armories earmarked as cold weather facilities to provide shelter and services for the homeless, located in Santa Ana and in Fullerton.
The Cold Weather Armory Program provides shelter for, and services to, approximately 400 individuals each night throughout the 120 to 149 day winter program. The program is in effect from Dec. 5, 2008 through Apr. 15, 2009, based on additional funding. The two designated armories are located at 612 E. Warner Avenue in Santa Ana, and at 400 S. Brookhurst Road in Fullerton.

Shelter Plus Care Program
The Housing Authority provides the rental assistance; OPCC provides the supportive services to ensure housing retention; property owners throughout the region elect to participate in the program by providing a rental apartment; and our clients pay a third of their income toward the rent each month to participate. Currently, OPCC supports over 250 formerly homeless, disabled individuals in permanent housing each year. Because of our success the Santa Monica Housing Authority and Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles awarded OPCC with 120 housing vouchers.

Haven for Hope is a private non-profit aimed at transforming the lives of homeless men, women and children in the San Antonio/Bexar County area. Partnering with 78 governmental, non-profit and faith-based agencies, Haven for Hope seeks to transform the lives of the homeless by addressing the root causes of homelessness through education, job training and behavioral health services. While most “shelters” feed, clothe and shelter the homeless, Haven for Hope and its Partners will provide critical social services to help the homeless become self-sufficient individuals on a long-term basis.
This really touched me. Check the link to learn more about the following.They offer a lot to the people who find themselves homeless. You will have to read about their programs. Amazing!
To learn about Operation Warm Shelter, feeding the hungry, women's and children's program, men's program plus Samaritin Health Center that provides health care, dental care and vision care for the residents of this Durham Rescue Mission.
Operation Warm Shelter
The homeless find hot food and warm shelter.
When temperatures drop dangerously low or severe weather is predicted for the Triangle area, the Durham Rescue Mission launches "Operation Warm Shelter." During bitterly cold weather, the homeless are extremely at-risk for hypothermia, frostbite, and even death.
To help prevent the homeless from suffering from life-threatening weather, staff and residents will canvas the streets of the Triangle, looking for those in need. With coffee and donuts for the homeless, we warn them of the impending weather. We offer them free transportation to the Durham Rescue Mission and invite them to come stay with us during the severe weather.

The Giving Spirit is privileged to work with the following organizations who join us in our commitment to help the most vulnerable of those who need to survive on the street - children, women and families.
Non-Profit Participation
The Downtown Women’s Center
Founded in 1978, the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization that provides 40,000 meals, 47 permanent supportive housing apartments, and a wide array of health, education, and other supportive services to more than 2000 homeless women each year. The Center’s mission is to offer a safe and supportive community along with the resources homeless women need to reconnect with their sense of self, reclaim goals lost in the day-to-day struggle for survival on the streets, and move toward self-sufficiency. In the local Skid Row community, the Downtown Women’s Center is the only resource that is exclusively for and singularly dedicated to serving the unique needs of this population. Established in 1978, DWC operates both a day center (providing meals and a wide array or resources on a drop-in basis) and a residence (47 single unit apartments providing permanent, affordable, supportive housing to formerly homeless women) out of two beautifully renovated, adjoining buildings located at 325 S. Los Angeles Street.

It’s not easy to walk into an emergency shelter for the first time. But life’s circumstances often force the homeless to swallow their pride and fear so that they can escape dangers on the streets and in abusive relationships. Raleigh Rescue Mission’s Emergency Overnight Services offer comfortable, safe refuge for single women and mothers with children.

Q & A
Homelessness in Santa Monica
1. How many homeless people do we have in Santa Monica and who are they?
2. What has the City been doing to address homelessness?
3. Given that the City has been working on this issue for so long, why are there still homeless people in Santa Monica?
4. Do other cities have homelessness? What about the rest of the County?
5. Do services attract homeless people to Santa Monica?
6. What are the new programs being implemented to address the special-needs population?
7. What can I, as a resident or visitor to Santa Monica, do to reduce the impact of homelessness in the community?
Q: How many homeless people do we have in Santa Monica and who are they?
A: In January 2007, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority conducted a "point-in-time" count of the homeless in Los Angeles County. At that time they estimated approximately 73,700 homeless people resided in Los Angeles County, a 17% decrease from the number counted in January 2005. 1,500 were estimated to be homeless in Santa Monica in 2007, a 24% decrease from the 2005 number.
back to top
Q: What has the City been doing to address homelessness?
A: The City funds 10 agencies to provide a comprehensive range of services from outreach and emergency services, to emergency shelter, transitional and permanent housing, employment services, substance abuse programs and after-care services to assist people to transition off of the streets to self-sufficiency. Homeless clients in need can get showers, storage lockers, food and other such services at social service agencies where they will be engaged by a case manager. The case manager then guides the client through process of acquiring emergency shelter, substance abuse or mental health treatment if needed, transitional housing, employment, and finally permanent housing. Often the path to self-sufficiency is too confusing and overwhelming to try to accomplish alone, so the City’s network of resources offers respite and guidance through this process. This continuum was found to be very effective in a recent evaluation of services and programs.
back to top
Q: Given that the City has been working on this issue for so long, why are there still homeless people in Santa Monica?
A: While the continuum has successfully served 5,000 unduplicated adults over the past 5 years (placing 1,365 in permanent housing and 1,459 in transitional housing), there remains a subset of the homeless population which has very special needs. These individuals are the most vulnerable segment of the homeless population in that they are gravely disabled and/or chronically homeless. For this population, the traditional Continuum of Care has not been as effective as it has been for others. The City has worked hard to come up with some innovative approaches to meet their needs and link them to services and ultimately housing, including the Chronic Homeless Program, the Serial Inebriate Outreach Program, Project Homecoming and the Homeless Community Court.
The second reason is quite simply inflow. While our continuum works hard to move people off the streets, our capacity to do so in a region with approximately 73,700 homeless people is impossible. Until homelessness is addressed throughout the region, there will be homeless people on the streets of Santa Monica.
back to top
Q: Do other cities have homelessness? What about the rest of the County?
A: California has more homeless people than any other state:
*
27% of the nation’s homeless live in California.
*
12% of the nation’s homeless live in Los Angeles County.
Santa Monica is a small community perched on the edge of the largest homeless population in the country. Over 73,700 people are homeless in Los Angeles County on any given night; almost a quarter of a million people are homeless in the County annually. Only about 20% of all of the homeless people directly counted during the January 2007 Homeless Count were in sheltered locations (in emergency shelters, transitional programs, or other types of programs). The rest were unsheltered. The Homeless Count showed that Santa Monica is heavily impacted, along with Skid Row and Venice, but that doesn’t mean we should do less. Others should do more. The City’s position is that homelessness is a regional issue. Santa Monica is doing its part but all of the jurisdictions in the County must do their “fair share”. We cannot solve homelessness alone.
back to top
Q: Do services attract homeless people to Santa Monica?
A: Some people may come to Santa Monica because this is the place where the services they need are available. They can find safe shelter and connect to a case manager in order to begin the process of transitioning to self-sufficiency. In all likelihood, though, these aren’t the people you continue to see on the streets or in the parks year after year. If people are coming for case management, they are working within our continuum in order to move off the streets.
Homeless people choose to come to Santa Monica for the same reasons people from all over the world come here: Santa Monica is a relatively safe community with beautiful open spaces and year-round access to the ocean; the City is small and easy to navigate; the climate allows for outdoor living. But some of Santa Monica’s most desirable characteristics may enable people to remain on the streets: the local parks offer places for people to congregate and space for food distribution; a large tourist population means that panhandlers have a constant stream of people to appeal to; because this is a beach community, there are public restrooms and showers; and unlike many beach communities, we have open spaces (like parks and beaches) right near our commercial neighborhoods. These are often the “services” that attract homeless people to this community.
The City recognizes that the qualities that are our greatest assets for tourism and the infrastructure provided for residents and tourists make us attractive for homeless people. We are actively addressing a number of strategies to provide alternatives that are linked to services.
* The City has banned camping in public spaces, enacted prohibitions on soliciting money, outlawed sitting or lying in specific doorways at night, required permits for certain public feedings and has posted rules for public restrooms and other public facilities.
* OPCC, a City grantee, operates SHWASHLOCK, which stands for Showers, Washers and Lockers to alleviate some of the burden on public restrooms and link people with case management.
* City staff, including the City Manager, are working with the local volunteer meal providers to move the outdoor meal programs from the parks to indoor locations where there is a link to case management services. Currently, two meal providers, Hand to Hand and H.O.P.E. have moved their food distribution activities indoors. As planned, community outreach teams and social service providers have been available whenever the food programs are operating. Additional sidewalk cleanings have enhanced the appearance of the immediate neighborhood and SMPD has continued its increased patrols in the vicinity to address concerns for safety and security. Find out more about volunteering your time to provide meals...
The City’s goal is to engage people in services, assist them to become stable, move them off the streets and parks into appropriate housing and help them maintain their housing.
back to top
Q: What are the new programs being implemented to address the special-needs population?
A: In conjunction with local service provider agencies, the City is working to develop innovative programs designed to respond to the needs of the long-term homeless population and help recent arrivals to the City return home quickly.
Homeless Community Court - linking the court system to services
Chronic Homeless Program - serving the long-term homeless
Serial Inebriate Outreach Program - linking the jail to services
Project Homecoming - reuniting families
back to top
Q: What can I, as a resident or visitor to Santa Monica, do to reduce the impact of homelessness in the community?
A: Get Involved While many of us wish to assist the homeless members of our community by dropping off food, clothing or blankets in local parks, these items often times go unused or are abandoned. Instead of giving handouts at our City parks, consider donating to a local social service agency or volunteering your time. Many local nonprofit agencies have volunteer opportunities available in Santa Monica. Find the one that inspires you! The Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition can help you get started. Visit their website at http://www.westsideshelter.org.
* Be a Model for tourists to our community by not giving money to panhandlers. Consider donating that change to the Bayside District Corporation’s Dolphin Change Program. There are two sculptural, dolphin-change receptacles on the promenade, one at the pier and one on Main Street. Every year, the change collected by the program is donated to a homeless service agency, which is a much more effective way to help people.
* Trespass Law – This law allows property owners to file a letter with the police department stating that the police have the right to remove trespassers from their property without a specific request for each incident. To get started, call the Homeless Liaison Program of the Santa Monica Police Department at 310.458.8953 and leave a message requesting information about the trespass law.
* Downtown Business Owners – can post a special sign forbidding people from sleeping in their doorway. To get started, call the Bayside District Corporation at 310.393.8355 for more information on the Municipal Code and to receive signs.
* Leave No Trace Behind (event holders) – Help the City combat urban runoff pollution and set a good example for others by not littering. When holding events outside in City parks there is always the potential to generate trash, including food waste, that ends up as litter. These materials can end up in the gutter/street and then into the storm drain system and into the Bay. Please take the necessary steps to prevent littering and minimize food left on the ground by cleaning up after your event.
* We’re In It Together! – Addressing the impacts of homelessness in our community continues to be a top priority for residents and the City. Help the City address community concerns regarding safety and open space issues by being an active participant.
o If you observe situations involving inappropriate or illegal activity (camping, trespassing, discarded property, etc.) in our parks, please communicate your concerns to park staff and park rangers at that park. You can discuss you concerns if you’re not sure what activity is or isn’t legal. In any case, staff will take appropriate action.
o If you have concerns about incidents which are non-emergency in nature but involve the homeless, contact the Homeless Liaison Project (HeLP) Team Hot Line at 310.458.8953. If the HLP Officers are not in the office please leave a detailed message providing such information as: location of the incident, description of the involved individual, etc. HLP Officers routinely check the hot line for messages and will respond to the call as soon as possible.
o If homeless people frequent your neighborhood park or the area near your home or business, you can call the OPCC Access Center’s Community Response Team at 310.450.4050. The Community Response Team can make sure that homeless persons know about the full array of services available to them.

To learn more about Bethesda Mission and about the homeless shelters for men, women, children, medical clinic and the services they provide at the Mission.
A 90-Year Heritage
“Heritage” is a good term to describe over 90 years of ministry to the hopeless, the helpless, and the homeless people of the street. Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines Heritage as “Something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor.” Today, the Mission is still faithfully transmitting that which it has received from its founders.
Harrisburg’s Mission tradition goes back to a Scranton Welshman named Griffith Jones, who started the predecessor of Bethesda at the turn of the century. This early mission was known as the Lafayette Mission, and was located where the State Education Building is in Harrisburg today.
On December 22, 1914, James W. Barker founded Bethesda Mission, taking the Biblical word for “mercy” as a name for his mission. He called it a “Christian workshop and workingman’s hotel.” “Uncle Jim” Barker (1853-1944) was the mission’s first president. He was a thin, stately man with a moustache and goatee. It was often said that he looked like a cross between Monty Wooley and Sigmund Freud. Earning his livelihood in the feed and grain business, he lived on Evergreen St. near a political boss of the time, Ed Beidleman, and was Sunday school superintendent at the Stevens Memorial Methodist Church.

As Harrisburg’s only shelter for men, the historic facility at 611 Reily provides lodging, nutritious meals, hot showers, laundry facilities, and clothing, as needed.* A SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM meets many needs helping those with mental/emotional problems find placement and treatment in sheltered environments and group home settings. In addition to our free health care, we offer eye, dental, and prescription referral/assistance. Bethesda also offers help with applications for benefits to which our guests are legitimately entitled – e.g. veteran’s, disability, welfare, unemployment, SSI, etc. Finally, we help our guests secure birth certificates and photo ID’s, along with free tax filing assistance.

I tried helping someone today as her family is homeless now and she sent me a message that she goes here for lunch and is on all the waiting lists. I offered what little space I have thinking it was only for her but she has more than herself to care for. Please if you can help these homeless shelters. It doesn't take much to do so.

See the link to learn more about their services and programs including year round shelter.
NEW IMAGE EMERGENCY SHELTER for the HOMELESS was incorporated in March, 1990 with the following Mission:
The MISSION of New Image is to: (1) decrease and (2) prevent homelessness throughout Los Angeles County by providing comprehensive Case Management and Supportive Services, housing, job search and placement, outreach, and referral services.
New Image, as a social service provider began providing services to homeless and low-income individuals and families with children, in 1989. At that time, New Image operated one (1) program, had four (4) employees, and an Annual Gross Income (AGI) of ,000.00. Today, more than 20 years later, it operates fifteen (15) programs, provides numerous services, has over 165 employees, and an AGI that exceeds ,000,000.00. However, more then 81% of these funds are restricted, for ‘programs’, only.
To see the whole website, more information and their programs such as women's support group, homework club and more just see the link. Read the stories of those who got help there. The owner's of The Haven go out of there way to help those less fortunate.
For more than 28 years, The Haven has provided—without judgment, and in an attitude of loving kindness—shelter for homeless families, and food and other services to those in need, so that they may find encouragement to make positive change on their own.
It is difficult to adequately describe the stress and range of emotions surrounding homelessness and poverty. The same is true of the rewards our donors, staff, and volunteers experience from helping those in need.
In 2008 the Haven:
* provided shelter and advocacy for 34 families, who stayed an average of 106 days,
* provided a week’s worth of food on 13,512 occasions to individuals from 1,710 different families,
* had 6,903 visits for bread and fresh produce,
* 4,441 visits for free clothing,
