In his swearing-in speech, Todd Spitzer, the county’s newest supervisor, brought up the “shameful” state of Orange County’s homelessness. Here’s what three experts say he needs to focus on to make things better.
One of the most “food insecure” counties in the state is
experiencing a historic gap between food supply and demand.
The city and school district of Tustin are battling each other
over a recently built elementary school that is being used instead
as a continuation high school.
Program is supposed to end homelessness in 10 years, but as of
now it still doesn’t have an executive director.
Orange County’s Homeless Outreach Court is groundbreaking
program that tries to get at the root of homelessness and help
those living on the streets turn their lives around.
Impressive networks already exist to feed those in need. But
collecting and distributing healthful, locally grown food is a
major challenge.
