Core offering

Illumination Health + Home is a nonprofit social services organization that operates a coordinated system of housing, healthcare, and case management for unhoused individuals and families in Orange County, California. Its service pillars include emergency and supportive housing, motel-based recuperative care, family emergency shelters (Plumeria House, Theriault House, La Mesa), Micro-Communities transitional housing, integrated physical and behavioral healthcare, and the Children and Families Program. All services are delivered free of charge and funded through donations, grants, and fundraising events.

Product overview

Illumination Health + Home is a nonprofit organization providing a coordinated system of social services rather than a single software product. The organization operates three integrated service pillars: Housing Services (emergency shelters, recuperative care facilities, and supportive micro-communities), Healthcare Services (physical and behavioral health care), and Case Management (housing navigation and benefit coordination). Key facilities include Plumeria House, Theriault House, La Mesa Emergency Shelter, and the Coral Motel recuperative care center. The Children and Families Program provides developmental support and educational services. These programs work together as full-circle care to move clients from crisis through stability to self-sufficiency.
