Our Impact

How We're Helping

During Covid-19, we have continued our essential work to provide vital services to those in need. In 2020 alone, we impacted the lives of more than 17,000 people. Some examples of our recent victories and community support include:

Meal Program: Our meal program has provided quality, healthy meals for over 17,000 people. This program delivers over 100 meals daily.

Shower Program: Weekly, we partner and support Humanity Showers to provide mobile shower services to dignify and empower over 200 folks experiencing homelessness a month.

Work Program: We are building a cleaner community and leaders through our work program. Over the last six months through our work program, we have completed encampment cleanups and supplied the necessary supplies to clean up the community.

Shelter Program: Our shelter program currently has 28 guests, and we have permanently housed 22 guests.

Hotel Program: During the Covid-19 crisis, we have provided 35 short term emergency hotel rooms to higher risk homeless.

Resource Fair: Our monthly resource fair bridges community resources and essentials out to our homeless community. We also spend this time getting to know them personally to understand better how to help them move forward.

About Us

Vanessa Graziano | Founder

"Six years ago, I was homeless. I was married and had a very successful life. I started doing drugs when I was 32 years old. I have now been clean and off meth for five and a half years. Being homeless, I realized that we need to bring love and light and compassion back to those on the streets. We need to bring hope and bring in connections and resources. That's why I started the Oceanside Homeless Resource (OHR). Through OHR, I wanted to be out here, working on the front lines and show that we are human. Society has a misconception of who the homeless community is and fear the homeless population instead of creating solutions for change. I recognized that in Oceanside, there are no shelters and no day centers. There was nowhere for the homeless community to go and belong. A place to help them get back on their feet the way I was able to. I wanted OHR to be a nonprofit that leads with love and light. A place that truly builds relationships, connections, and solutions for those in need."
