This collaborative seeks to ensure that <br />homelessness is rare, brief and one time through <br />a coordinated system of assessment and service <br />delivery including prevention and diversion, <br />emergency shelter and rapid re-housing and <br />permanent housing options. <br />In 2016-2017 the Orange County Partnership to <br />End Homelessness (OCPEH) gathered a series <br />of meetings with people with lived experience <br />of homelessness, homeless service providers, <br />community leaders, and state homeless experts to <br />map the homeless service system in Orange County. <br />This process created the Orange County homeless <br />system map and the homeless system gaps analysis. <br />OCPEH staff work with community members <br />to update the gaps analysis annually, the latest <br />updated is previewed to be approved by the OCPEH <br />Leadership Team in October 2021. <br />BACKGROUND 18
