Rising Tide is an 18-month transitional housing program for emancipated foster youth between the ages of 18-21. The purpose of the program is to provide motivated young people with affordable, apartment housing and support services to help them make a successful transition to independence. Foster children leave the protected environment of the foster care system on their 18th birthdays. At that point they are on their own to make a life for themselves in the best possible way. Without a caring family, resources, training, or experience to support them, most of these young adults find themselves alone - nearly half will find themselves homeless. In a unique effort that is proving to be a model for nationwide replication, Orangewood Children's Foundation has partnered with a group of concerned business leaders to implement the innovative Rising Tide Communities, a holistic program that provides a complete range of independent living services. Orangewood Children's Foundation currently utilizes two residential apartment complexes for this program, Flanders Pointe in Tustin and Orange Tree in Garden Grove. A number of apartments in each complex are set aside from the general public for use by the youth. An on-site community coordinator provides structured guidance, advice and counseling on a variety of topics and plays a critical role in crisis intervention. Rising Tide residents:
