About Us

Colette’s Children’s Home is a nonprofit organization based in Huntington Beach, CA that has provided housing and supportive services to homeless women and children for the past 27 years.

CCH began in 1998 by renting a single two-bedroom apartment in Huntington Beach that housed up to six homeless women and children each night. Today, the agency owns and operates 21 Homeless Shelter Program and permanent housing sites throughout Orange County. Our shelters are located in Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Anaheim, Placentia, and Garden Grove. Our Homeless Shelter Program (HSP) can house and serve an average 128 homeless women and children per year. Our permanent housing sites have the capacity to serve more than 325 low-income individuals at any given time. In addition, through our outreach efforts, we serve more than 450 community members in need per week.

We recognize that, acting alone, we will not be able to completely eliminate homelessness in Orange County, but we are creating a replicable model of systemic change that impacts the lives of the people we serve.
