What's Happening
Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs
Last week the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the establishment of the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA). The Office will further the County’s vision and initiatives of building healthier and stronger communities by creating a ‘one-stop’ office for our immigrant and refugee population.
 
During the Press Conference held by my office and Supervisor Andrew Do’s office we discussed the role and vision of the OIRA in Orange County. The OIRA will serve as a hub for immigrants and Refugees by centralizing services and resources under one roof.
 
Thank you to our speakers, including Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento; Owaiz M. Dadabhoy, President of Uplift Charity; Masih Fouladi, Deputy Executive Director of CAIR - LA; Apolonio (Polo) Morales, Director of CHIRLA; Iryna Sobianina; and An Nguyen, for sharing their stories and what this office means for Orange County. 
 
And I want to thank my Board colleagues for their support and all the Community-Based Organizations, including Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California, the Public Law Center, CAIR-LA, and CHIRLA for assisting us in creating the OIRA.

In the Fourth District Community
Fullerton School District Renovation Grant

We were overjoyed to provide a $300,000 grant to the Fullerton School District to renovate their Scout Hut and transform it into the Orangethorpe Community Center. 

As part of the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP), the New Center will bring together the Fullerton School District and local partners to provide community resources to families in need. 

The future resource center will have an on-call nurse, counselors, a community liaison, and social services assistants to provide families with immediate attention to their needs that include after-school hour services.

Pet of the Week

Pumba is a Siberian Husky who came to OC Animal Care with open paws and a warm heart! This young pup has a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and love to give. At the shelter, he enjoys doggie-dates, pack walks with his buddies, and belly rubs and scratches by hoomans. On the weekends, you can find Pumba at Pooches on the Patio! This social butterfly loves all the attention that he can get and will do best in a home with plenty of space for playing, roaming, and exercising.

Looking for a pup that will melt your heart? Pumba is your boy! To adopt Pumba, call (714) 935-6848 and mention Animal ID#A1800831.
