Colette's Children's Home, Inc.
Our mission at CCH is to provide homeless single women and homeless mothers with children a safe and nurturing environment where they obtain the compassionate support and services needed to achieve self-sufficiency. We are directed by our guiding principles and core values. Our values are compassion for those in need, commitment to each other and those we serve, confidentiality to maintain anonymity and dignity, physical and emotional safety to protect our women and children, dedication to service, agency integrity, and program excellence.
CCH began in 1998 by renting a single two-bedroom apartment in Huntington Beach that housed up to six homeless women and children each night. Today, the agency owns and operates 21 Homeless Shelter Program and permanent housing sites throughout Orange County. Our shelters are located in Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Anaheim, Placentia, and Garden Grove. Our Homeless Shelter Program (HSP) can house and serve an average 128 homeless women and children per year. Our permanent housing sites have the capacity to serve more than 325 low-income individuals at any given time. In addition, through our outreach efforts, we serve more than 450 community members in need per week throughout Orange County and Los Angeles.
