The Real Homeless

Orange County, California is the third largest county in the state, with a population of 3,166,461.

If Orange County were a country, its gross metro product in 2008 would rank 45th in the world.

Orange County is the 15th top producing economy in the nation.

Yet, with all of these riches, our neighbors are hurting.

The Real Homeless will tell their stories and shatter the myths, perceptions, and prejudices surrounding homelessness.

Mark is homeless in Santa Ana :: Here is a little bit about his story.

Santa Ana Civic Center, Chili Van Outreach : serve hope and the love of God with us on Thursday nights!!!

Gene & Tasha’s journey to the Village of Hope began with a bowl of chili and now they are able to pay it forward by serving the very community of people they lived on the streets with. A courageous couple, hear their perspective on transitioning from the streets of Santa Ana to a new life of hope.

Our Chili Van and Mobile Medical Clinic serve every Thursday at the Santa Ana Civic Center. Mark is one of many in Orange County currently living out of his truck that eats with us on Thursdays. Did you read his story in our July newsletter? He says most of his co-workers don’t even know he is homeless…

From a young age, Johnny’s life was defined by drugs, gangs and prison. Now at the Village of Hope, he has hope for his family and future and faith rooted in God.

we want to help the least, the last & the lost walk into the greatness that God has created them to be and live a life of resilient purpose in relationship with their creator
