Help Shape Orange County’s Approach to Homelessness: Share Your Voice in Our 15-Question Community Survey
Orange County continues to navigate complex challenges around homelessness, access to care, and the overall wellbeing of people living without stable housing. To ensure that community-driven strategies remain responsive, equitable, and grounded in lived experience, Harm Reduction Circle is conducting a short 14-question survey open to all OC residents.
This survey explores how people across the county perceive homelessness, the availability of local services, and the barriers that prevent individuals—especially those living outdoors, in motels, or in unstable conditions—from getting the support they need. Your feedback helps illuminate gaps in the local care continuum, including harm reduction resources, mental health and substance use treatment, housing pathways, outreach coverage, transportation, and safety considerations.
By gathering honest perspectives from residents, workers, and individuals with personal or family experience of homelessness, we can strengthen data-informed planning that enhances public safety, expands access to life-saving services like naloxone and fentanyl test strips, and improves overall system navigation for people experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
The survey takes less than five minutes to complete, and all responses are confidential. Participants may also choose to receive updates about future programs, community initiatives, and opportunities to stay involved.
Your participation directly supports community-based solutions that honor dignity, reduce harm, and help OC move toward a more compassionate and health-focused approach to homelessness.
