What is WelcomeHomeOC?

Nationally recognized for its success and innovation, WelcomeHomeOC is the first housing assistance program tailored to Orange County property owners as well as qualified families, Veterans, foster youth, and seniors in need of permanent housing. Every aspect of this program to end homelessness provides greater ease and control, while treating landlords as equal partners and maximizing opportunities for all.

Benefits designed for property owners.

Unlike other housing programs, WelcomeHomeOC minimizes the burdens landlords have to face. Just tell us when a housing unit is available, and we’ll take care of applications, pre-screenings and more.

And every time a property owner approves a recommended tenant, the following incentives automatically apply.

Every property owner is eligible to receive:

  • Double security deposit
  • Daily holding fees

During the tenancy...

We also provide:

  • Direct deposited, on-time rent
  • Tenant support services
  • Property experience success team

Even though we have a 0% eviction rate in the program, property owners are always in control and can terminate a residency with cause.

"This process is a win-win for everyone involved. It provides sound business benefits to property owners while at the same time, a rewarding opportunity to better the community by helping end homelessness in Orange County."
