WISEPlace provides programs that inspire, support and empower women to become positive contributors to the community.
One of the most pressing social needs in Orange County is the issue of homelessness. The County of Orange reports that there are more than 18,000 homeless individuals, almost double the number reported in 2000. More than half of the homeless individuals reported are women and children. No community, including affluent ones, has been unaffected by this problem.
