Families Forward is proud to be part of a groundbreaking eviction prevention pilot program supported by a $2 million investment from the Samueli Foundation—a partnership rooted in compassion, innovation, and long-term solutions. Together with two other Orange County nonprofits, we are working to support families before they fall into homelessness. This flexible, two-year funding allows us to meet families where they are, providing rental assistance and wraparound services that help them stay in their homes and avoid the trauma of eviction. Because when families stay housed, communities stay stronger. We are deeply grateful to the Samueli Foundation for investing in lasting change and for believing in a future where every family has a place to call home. With their support we’ve already helped 104 households remain stably housed—proving that early intervention works. (fb)
