Everyone needs a place to live!

We help homeless women and men and low-wage workers support themselves and secure housing they can afford.

In our residential self-help programs, homeless women and men seek and find employment, save for future housing, and address personal obstacles to stability.

In our Residence Community, low-wage workers get good housing at affordable rates and receive personal support for maintaining health and stability.

Since 1970, Open Doors has been building relationships to overcome homelessness through housing, employment, education, and sobriety in response to God's love for all.
