The Double R Ranch is relocating from northern San Diego County to a new 30-acre home in Silverado Canyon, in the mountains east of Tustin, where veterans and the formerly homeless can live with their families and rehabilitate from drug usage and homelessness, thanks to the Christian-based nonprofit Orange County Rescue Mission.
The ranch is one of the privately funded nonprofit programs that specializes in animal therapy to coincide with the mission’s offerings of therapy, job training, dental and medical services, financial planning, and more. It operates seven locations for homeless men, women, and children, women escaping human trafficking, and teens on the verge of homelessness.
