About the Program: Home First Central is Orange County’s Housing Full Service Partnership (FSP) program focused on providing housing-supportive services and behavioral health services to individuals residing in Orange County. Our purpose is to support members in maintaining stable housing, including resolving housing challenges and providing case management and behavioral health-focused services.

Our staff create a supportive environment, including services that are based on individual needs, hopes, and dreams. Home First FSP members have access to a multidisciplinary team that includes peer specialists, case managers, a psychiatrist, a nurse practitioner, masters-level team leads, and clinicians who have experience in providing housing-supportive services and behavioral health-focused services.

Our program is based on the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model and Housing First Principles. This means that our goal is to help members become independent, productive, and integrate back into their community. We also connect members to the proper resources that can help them achieve their goals.
