The mission of Illumination Foundation (IF) is to improve the lives of individuals, families, and children who find themselves homeless and in crisis. Based in Orange County, California, IF is focused on breaking the cycle of homelessness by providing homeless families stability and selfsufficiency at the pre-transitional level by: - Connecting homeless families to "wrap-around" services, which consist of housing; medical and mental health services; case management; food and clothing; counseling and tutoring; and access to public agencies and resources. - Promoting proactive community involvement in providing services to our clients in order to generate awareness of homelessness in Orange County. In July 2008, IF launched the "Pre-Transitional Housing and Wrap-Around Program," a comprehensive program that houses and supports homeless families with children in motels in Orange County.

By providing stability and support for these families, IF is working to prevent families from falling into the downward spiral leading to chronic homelessness. This program allows families to get off the streets and into a safe housing environment where they are also able to take advantage of the wrap-around services coordinated through IF...
