The Open Door

mensbfastThe Open Door is a residential program for people who identify as men who have nowhere to live.

Men in the program concentrate on becoming financially stable and self-supporting.  Men who do not have jobs search fulltime for employment.  Those who do have jobs save one-third of every paycheck for their future housing costs.  Men who are struggling with substance abuse or addiction make and keep a personal recovery plan involving 12-step groups.  Men who have not completed high school get connected with a program to earn a GED.

At the Open Door, men are assigned a bed and dresser.  Food and personal hygiene supplies are provided free of charge.  Bus tokens are provided free of charge to men who are looking for work. OPEN DOORS_042

Every man is expected to do one daily chore assigned by the staff to keep the house clean and in good order.  Curfew, seven days a week, is 9:30 pm.  Men must be out of the house working or looking for work every weekday from 9 am to 3 pm.

If you are homeless and interested in doing the hard work to become self-supporting, we would like to support you in your efforts.

To speak to our staff regarding opportunities for housing and personal support, call (269) 345-1431 or email Jamie Prudom, Lead Shelter Manager, at jprudom@odkzoo.com.
