Last week celebrated the groundbreaking on The Salvation Army Orange County’s CARI Research Center at the Center of Hope in Anaheim—a major step forward in addressing homelessness through innovation, wellness, research, and compassionate care.
Thank you to our partners, donors, sponsors, city officials, community leaders, supporters, and dedicated staff who helped make this milestone possible. Together, we are building a future where hope, dignity, opportunity, and innovation create lasting impact for Orange County.
The CARI Center will expand support for shelter residents through dedicated case management, a 300-seat community space, a health and wellness urgent care center by Families Together OC, with support from the Samueli Innovation Hub, a first-of-its-kind space dedicated to advancing solutions for homelessness and community well-being.
The future of innovation starts here.
