History

Established in 1998.

The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is one of the regions leading resources on hearing and visual impairments. Our innovative services and programs keep on the leading edge without dismissing old techniques that work that may work better for our clients. The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled individuals and their families in our community who need help in navigating the social services maze go without proper food, shelter, and essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, or divorce. While all of us are susceptible to hard times, disabled individuals are at the most risk. With the generous support of people like you, we will be able to help many of these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to work toward a brighter future with programs in job training, education, counseling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.
