(250 words OR LESS) <br /> Investing in this program is a direct investment in the all residents of Orange County <br /> and its municipalities. It expands the capacity of the organization to address the <br /> human service needs of the community. Individuals, families, and service providers <br /> have a place to get information and assistance in accessing area resources.

We hope to continue conducting <br /> these forums in an effort to continue building a safe, unified, culturally conscious <br /> community. <br /> PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/31/2017 3:16:25 PM Page 1 3 of 32 <br />
