New shelter focuses on sick children and their families (latimes.com)

The new facility is Illumination Foundation's Theriault Emergency House, a place in Stanton where homeless families can find shelter and receive case management, workforce training, connections to legal and government assistance and medical health services while finding permanent housing.

Leon, president and CEO of the Illumination Foundation, emphasizes that the two-story Stanton refuge — which has nine bedrooms, two laundry areas and double kitchens — is unique to Orange County.

"[Illumination Foundation] has a very unique role in our community in that they focus on recuperative care for our homeless population," said Karen Williams, president and chief executive officer of 2-1-1 Orange County, a social services organization that provides assistance day or night to people who dial toll free 2-1-1. "[It's] the group that really does focus on individuals who are hardest to serve."
