The County of Orange Social Services Agency (SSA) is opening a second County Community Service Center (CCSC) in Brea on Monday, June 10.
CCSC Brea is a one-stop shop for Orange County residents where their needs will be assessed to best match them to services and resources available from SSA, its co-located partners, other government agencies and community-based organizations.
With SSA, clients can apply for benefit programs that provide money for groceries, no- or low-cost health insurance, and cash aid. The OC Health Care Agency and CalOptima Health will help patients take control of their health care decisions. Additionally, job seekers and businesses can visit OC Workforce Solutions on the third floor to access employment resources.
Community resource specialists will assist clients with vital records such as birth and marriage certificates, DMV appointments to get ID cards or driver’s licenses, and navigation of city and County services, among other comprehensive supports. Referrals to housing, childcare and educational services will also be offered.
The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs plans to place a social worker at CCSC Brea to connect clients to the services and resources they are eligible for.
“The opening of this location is yet another milestone in the expansion of County services into our community,” said SSA Director An Tran. “The success of CCSC Brea comes from working with our co-located County and community-based partners. OC Health Care Agency, CalOptima Health, OC Workforce Solutions, the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, and SSA are bringing together our collective resources in one place.”
CCSC Brea joins CCSC Westminster, which serves an average of 1,600 clients each month.
Staff at both locations can assist customers in multiple languages, including Spanish and Vietnamese.
CCSC Brea, at 675 Placentia Ave., will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. To contact CCSC Brea, call 714-834-7500 or email CCSCBrea@ssa.ocgov.com.
