What it does

Opendoors provides support through a community-based resource center with drop-in services, transitional housing for men and women, employment and workforce development programming, individualized case management, and advocacy to reduce barriers to housing, employment, and essential services. These efforts promote stability, successful reintegration, and reduced recidivism.
