Orange County Rescue Mission has a long history of serving homeless veterans, giving them a hand up to successfully transition to civilian life and self-sufficiency. And in recent years, as President Jim Palmer became more aware of the emerging homeless veteran population in Orange County, he and other visionaries developed a plan to more effectively serve those who have served us.
Tustin Veterans Outpost opened its doors to homeless veterans and their families in June 2016, offering transitional housing for up to 71 people, along with veteran-specific services. In addition, Tustin Veterans Outpost incorporates the resources and award-winning programs at Orange County Rescue Mission’s Village of Hope, providing comprehensive services to guide, equip and empower homeless veterans so that they may heal from past trauma and re-build their lives through mental health services, education, vocational training, workforce development, financial literacy, among others.
Being 100% privately funded with no government funding, we rely on our community for support. We hope you will join us in serving more homeless veterans who have sacrificed to serve our country.
