Action Alliance Foundation (AAF) provides safe recovery residences for homeless alcoholics and addicts, including those struggling with mental health issues. We teach our residents how to create sober lives leading to futures full of hope and promise.  

Each of us has an opportunity to leave a legacy – an opportunity to live for a purpose that’s bigger than ourselves. George Folk, Founder of both Action Alliance Foundation and its for-profit partner, Action Alliance Services, has done just that.

A native of Pennsylvania, George started drinking at the age of 15. It became a daily habit, except for his four years in the Navy. During those years, he didn’t drink at sea, but made up for it every 30 days or so, when his ship was in port.

Meet Our Residents

Every night, approximately 300 Orange County residents receive housing and support for maintaining their sobriety at a house managed by Action Alliance Foundation or its for-profit partner, Action Alliance Services. Each of our residents has a unique story - a story of how they are overcoming a challenging past in preparation for a promising future.

Residents like Ambre, Mark, Heather and Leroy have each overcome huge obstacles in their lives. Since learning how to live an alcohol and drug-free life, they are each on the road to a promising future.

You can read about each of them - and others - by clicking here.
