Every year, thousands of people in Orange County return home from incarceration—ready to work, ready to contribute, but too often shut out by barriers to employment, housing, and support. Without a clear path forward, the cycle continues.
HIRE was built to change that.
We meet people where they are—without judgment, without restriction—and help them move toward stability, employment, and independence. The result? Stronger individuals, stronger families, and a stronger community.
HIRE connects people returning to the community with the tools, training, and support they need to find and keep meaningful work—transforming second chances into lasting success.
HIRE’s work is possible because people like you step up to make a difference.
