Colette’s Children’s Home (CCH) is a nonprofit organization based in Huntington Beach, CA that has provided housing and supportive services to more than 6,100 homeless women and children over the past 26 years. CCH began renting a two-bedroom apartment in the city of Huntington Beach in 1998, housing up to 6 homeless women and children each night. The agency now operates 21 Homeless Shelter Program and permanent housing sites. As of January 2025, We have the capacity to serve up to 400 homeless women, homeless women with children, and low-income individuals at any given point in time. Our shelters are located in the cities of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Anaheim, and Placentia.

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. 

Our goal is for the women and children we house and serve to transition from homelessness to stable permanent housing. The primary program activities that support the overarching objective are the provision of housing, case management, counseling, and services that support basic physical needs and support self-sufficiency.
