A free, print-ready 16-page guide for people who have just become homeless in Orange County, California.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-21 issue.
For
Newly homeless people and local outreach workers
Worth noticing
The guide puts obtaining a mailing address first, before benefits, identification, or employment steps.

Field notes

The guide is built around a practical dependency: obtaining a mailing address comes before documents, benefits, or employment-related steps. The page provides both booklet-imposed and single-page files, with instructions for double-sided printing, long-edge flipping, cutting, folding, and stapling. It explicitly limits its scope to newly homeless readers able to follow written steps, and gives caseworkers and others a correction route for later printings.
