Last week, I took a tour of the Friendly Center’s Buena Park location to see a demo of the District 4 Emergency Rental Assistance Program intake along with learning about other services they provide to the community.
The Friendly Center provides and facilitates through other partnerships programs to assist the community at large like, food assistance, financial literacy, HiSET/GED, and case management support. Friendly Center is also the administrator of my office’s District 4 Emergency Rental Assistance Pilot Program. Over 100 families, comprising of more than 400 individuals, have received emergency rental assistance and case management support to not only prevent families from losing their household but also to find ways to be financially stable at the end of the program.

Last Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening of the Orchard View Gardens in Buena Park. 🏢
Orchard View Gardens is a new 66-unit community providing affordable and permanent supportive housing for low- to extremely low-income seniors, on land provided by St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church. Eight (8) of the units are designated specifically for seniors who have experienced homelessness. Amenities for residents include a 3,000-square-foot community room, a fitness room, computer room, private patios and balconies, outdoor lounge area, recreational area and barbecues.
I want to thank National CORE, Hope through Housing Foundation, the City of Buena Park, Orange County Housing Finance Trust, St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church, and the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles for your invaluable partnership creating affordable housing for some our most vulnerable population.Photos from O.C.

Last week, Office Ambassador Paulette Chaffee attended Cal State Fullerton’s School of Nursing 50th anniversary celebration.
The CSUF Nursing School was established in 1974 and has graduated over 8,000 nurses during this time. The event showcased all the programs that CSUF has established for nursing students.
As CalOptima Health Director, I established a stipend program to increase the number of students in the jumpstart and concurrent enrollment program. The 5 million dollar grant to the CSUF School of Nursing will help decrease the nursing shortage here in Orange County and help more students finish their schooling without worrying about possible financial burden.
Congratulations to the CSUF Nursing school on reaching this impressive milestone and their successful programs.
