In our Residence Community, we offer private rooms, studios, and one, two and three-bedroom apartments for low-wage working individuals and families priced out of the housing market. Residents pay a monthly program fee which includes housing, all or most utilities, and personal support 
and assistance. For the safety of our residents in recovery, we require that all buildings in the Residence Community be free of alcohol and illegal drugs.
Residents are expected to earn enough from employment to pay for food, transportation, clothing, childcare, and other basic needs.
Our Support Staff helps residents address critical issues, including employment, health care, education, budgeting, and child care.
If you have a job but can’t find housing you can afford, we would like to help you.

- Employment income in the household that is sufficient to pay for Open Doors’ housing
