OUR HISTORY ®i�lS� ®hi "To seek out the causes of tension and conflict, discrimination and intolerance and eliminate those causes." In 1971, the Orange County Board of Supervisors in collaboration with the League of Cities created the Orange County Human Relations Commission. Over the last 34 years, Orange County has changed dramatically, transitioning from a predominately white suburban community to a diverse urban county, of the more than 3 million residents. Two thirds of the students in Orange County K -12 schools are ethnic minorities. This rapid demographic change underscores the need for an effective human relations organization. The Commission is governed by 11 Commissioners appointed by the Board of Supervisors and the League of Cities, and administered by the Orange County Housing Community Services Depart- ment. OUNCaL "To foster mutual understanding among residents in order to make Orange County a::.better place for ALL people to live, work and do business." The Orange County Human Relations Council is a private, non -profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1991 for the purpose of developing and implementing proactive human relations programs in partner- ship with schools, corporations, cities, foundations and individuals. The Council provides an award winning violence prevention program in the schools, conflict resolution programs and inter group relations initiatives in the communities all over Orange County. Supported through grants, donations, fees and contracts, the Council is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of diverse community leaders and guided by a Community Partners Advisory Board that is comprised of executives from major corporations and institutions.

Case Story Abrazar Community Center Two Latino families lived next to each other and one thought the other was always spying on them. Family A was new to the United States and Family B had been liv- ing in the states for generations. At the community center, Family A contacted a mediator and after listening to both parties, the mediator determined the behavior was based upon cultural differences. Family B wanted the best price for his house when the time came to sell and Family A believed in keeping a home forever and passing it on to other generations. Family A realized that family B's behavior was market oriented rather than hate based. The parties decided to communicate better and now live next to each other in peace.
