Ten years, six homes, one promise: Orange County families in crisis sleep under a roof of their own

A decade ago in Stanton, California, a nine-bedroom house opened for families with nowhere else to go. Illumination Health + Home now runs six Family Emergency Homes across Orange County, pairing a real home setting with case workers, parenting classes, health care and school support for children. Supporters marked the tenth anniversary by raising more than $278,000 in a single luncheon to keep the doors open.
