Overview
Mission
Orange county justice united is a broad based community power organization that develops civil sector leaders with the capacity to organize and win.
What it reported doing in 2024
Justice united took action in 2024 to decide collectively on new priorities, based on our listening sessions with over 800 members: affordable housing and access to healthcare, and immigrant rights. We formed research action teams to identify specific, measurable, meaningful opportunities to make local change - and then designed action campaigns to unite our members around winning those changes.thanks to our collective efforts, we won:1) affordable housing: over 300 justice united leaders organized to win commitments from our country commissioners to: a. Identify funding and property for low-barrier supportive housing for community members returning from incarceration and/or institutionalization. B. Secure $2 million in funds for preserving existing affordable housing through a home repairs program for low-income homeowners. C. Work with two of our member churches to open cold-weather overnight shelters. 2) access to healthcare: we won a commitment from the director of unc health's financial assistance (formerly charity care) to work closely with directed-affected community members to remove barriers that are preventing eligible residents from receiving services. This commitment kicked off with the director and nine staff holding an in-person faq and application assistance session with over 50 community members seeking financial assistance. We also won a commitment from orange county social services to partner with our rural member churches for medicaid enrollment and information sessions, to address the lack of access to information in rural areas and the low enrollment of medicaid-eligible residents. 3) immigrant rights: we formed a team of immigrant leaders and other stakeholders in immigrant right, to begin planning legal clinics, mental health supports, and relationship-building with local elected officials.
