Services

The following services are provided both to singles and small families with children, in two separate wings on the ground floor of the Opportunity Center, offering a broad range of services to help with basic human needs, as well as enabling people to find stability and housing.

The first step towards helping community members find their way out of homelessness, or to help them avoid it, is to provide for their very basic needs, such as a hot cup of coffee, somewhere to perform personal hygiene, a place to pick up mail or return a phone call, assistance in finding food and shelter, and a supportive sense of community.

Once they're in the door with some basic needs met, people need access to a wide variety of social, rehabilitative, and educational services.

Homelessness doesn't occur in a vacuum, so the response needs to include services to the broader community, like providing problem-solving, crisis response and community education in an effort to reduce the number of homeless-related concerns in the community.
