She said that <br />this was the first time they had partnered with another group far the forum, which was the <br />Partnership to End Homelessness in Orange County. There were national experts at this forum <br />as well as local catalysts - OPC, OCIM, and IFC -and one of the highlights was hearing from <br />people who had experienced homelessness and their success stories. <br />Linda Tuday encouraged the County Commissioners to continue to support the fight to <br />end homelessness.
