Some affordable rental communities have set aside units specifically for persons with mental illness and physical and/or developmental disabilities. Usually, persons interested in renting a special needs unit must be referred through one of two local nonprofit organizations. Persons with developmental disabilities must be referred by the Regional Center of Orange County. To learn more about this process, visit the Regional Center’s website or contact their office at 714-796-5100.

Persons with mental illness must be referred through the Orange County Health Care Agency. For additional information, visit the Orange County Health Care Agency website or call 855-625-4657.
