This bill creates the Orange County Housing Finance Trust. The purpose of this trust is to fund permanent, supportive housing for homeless and low-income individuals within Orange County.

Editor’s note — California’s homeless population has increased rapidly in the past couple of years, rising 14% statewide from 2016 to 2017. In Orange County, the unsheltered homeless population has increased 53% since 2013. The creation of the Orange County Housing Finance Trust is a positive step toward reducing the rising rates of homelessness in Orange County.
