Families Forward highlights a local success story as it seeks continued Mission Viejo support
Summary
Families Forward told the commission about a Mission Viejo family helped into housing and supportive services and thanked the city for its ongoing partnership as staff consider CDBG public-service allocations.
Rosalinda Bermudez, representing Families Forward, told commissioners about a single father in Mission Viejo who regained housing and stability through the agency's programs.
"Some of the families in our program have access to case management," Bermudez said, describing supportive services that include food pantry access, career coaching and mental-health counseling. She said the father had been able to save $300 over five months as a small but meaningful step toward financial stability.
Bermudez thanked the commission for its continued partnership and for the opportunity to apply for CDBG public-service funding. Commissioners asked follow-up questions about family counts and in-city units versus food-pantry users; Bermudez clarified the application specifically covered Families Forward units located in Mission Viejo.
