“Helping People. Changing Lives”

Supportive Housing

Housing and Support

RECAP’s Supportive Housing programs target residents who are potentially homeless, a veteran, a senior, someone struggling with substance use disorder, or in need of permanent housing.

The goal of supportive housing and rental subsidy programs is to help participants increase or regain self-sufficiency. Participants and case managers develop goals and track progress and challenges. Case managers support participants through social service navigation, replacing vital documents, or finding clothes for a job interview. Unemployed and underemployed participants maintain structured daily activities focused on employment, self and family care, financial literacy, and education.

Applicants must be income-eligible residents of Orange County and be homeless or potentially homeless. Applicants must submit the Supportive Housing Application.
