I was released from the Men's County Jail with no where to live and no stable income. I was comnected to one of OACH&RC's care coordinators who was able to get me connected to transitional housing where I was provide a safe place to stay. I was provided with clothing, furniture, and 3 meals per day. I was assisted with getting my social security benefits restarted and they helped me find a 1 bedroom that I could afford. I am so glad that I was referred to OACH&RC by LACADA. Still today OACH&RC continues to a place where I go to recieve services.
I have been dealing with anger issues since quite a young age. And it has always led me into hot waters. But thanks to OACH & RC, their anger management program has helped me improve over time.

While living at a safe park location in my vehicle for 6 mos , I was able to obtain a Section 8 Voucher. After receiving the voucher I did not know the first steps to locating a place that would except the voucher. I called OACH&RC and in 1 day their housing navigators helped me to find an apartment in which accepted section 8 and was willing to allow me to complete an application and RTA packet. In 32 days I was out of my car and into my new 1 bedroom duplex. OACH&RC donated me furniture to ensure I was comfortable. Now having a safe place to live has allowed me to start working again . Now I am stable and I am so glad that I was referred to OACH&RC.
My 16 yrs old daughter began experimenting with Drugs & Alchol and as a result she has been having difficulties in school. Her grades had declined, she began dealing with deppression and having suicidal idealation, so the school refffered us to OACH&RC. Thank God for OACH&RC , they have the best Therapist and Counselors. My daughter attended groups and private therapy sessions and is thriving again. We recommend OACH&RC to anyone who has a child that may need cousleling and would benefit from therapuetic session.
