The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) began accepting applications for Project Based Voucher (PBV) units for people experiencing homelessness on July 18, 2025. The project is located at 17861 Cartwright Rd, Irvine, California 92614 and will have eight (8) one-bedroom units available for people experiencing homelessness.
Admission preference for all eight (8) units will be given to applicants who are experiencing homelessness, eligible for services under the Special Needs Housing Program, and referred by the Orange County Coordinated Entry System (CES) to OCHA. CES will verify homeless preference eligibility prior to referral to OCHA.
Individuals who are experiencing homelessness, currently on OCHA’s Housing Choice Voucher waiting list and interested in applying for Cartwright Apartments may contact OCHA’s reception at (714) 480-2700 for information or dial 2-1-1 to be connected to an access point for households experiencing homelessness.
When calling 2-1-1, please ask to be connected to a CES access point and 2-1-1 staff will provide you the contact information for the provider most appropriate to your circumstances in your service area. You may need to leave a message for a call back for an assessment appointment.
