OC Sheriff’s Department’s New Housing Unit for Military Veterans
|
Last Monday, I visited the Orange County Sheriff's Department’s new Housing Unit for Military Veterans (HUMV), which will provide housing and programs targeted to help incarcerated veterans stay out of jail for good. All the Deputies assigned to the HUMV unit will be veterans or active duty service members. I’m glad to see the Sheriff improve services for our veterans, and to all who are helping keep them out of jail, including the Rancho Santiago Community College District, Working Wardrobes, Orange County Rescue Mission, Orange County Probation Department, and others!

Last month, over 100 kids received presents at the 5th Annual Cambodian Family breakfast! Seeing the smiles on every kid’s face is very rewarding. That is why I love sponsoring events such as this one. Special thanks to Executive Director Vattana Peong and our partner CalOptima for your exceptional work.
