Opportunity House is a Christian-based 501(c)(3) ministry formed out of a community survey in 2012. The community answered the call of several families suffering temporary homelessness. Several concerned citizens of the community formed this non-profit ministry to help get Hood County residents back on their feet.
Our strategic goal is to involve our community partners and churches to adopt an individual or family to help support them while we walk them through becoming self–sufficient. OH is committed to removing barriers and fostering long-term betterment.
When program participants come to OH they find a place where compassion and accountability meet. At Opportunity House, we work on personal integrity and reliability. We expect progress, not perfection. We understand that it takes time to meet challenges. Many individuals we serve are dealing with complicated grief and unresolved dysfunction from their past which contributed to their wrong choices. OH supports them in examining their hidden positive feelings, such as hope, strength and forgiveness as they discover worth and value in Christ.
Opportunity House will accomplish its mission by accomplishing the following goals.
Goal 1: Provide shelter for qualified homeless people in need and who are willing to put forth the effort to improve their situations.
Objective 1 Provide transitional housing suitable for homeless families who are based in or intend to reside in the Hood County area.
Providing transitional housing for transient or chronically homeless people is not included in this objective; however, such people may be helped, to the extent funds are available, to obtain transportation to other jurisdictions where help may be available.
Goal 2: Attempt to lead the people in our care to salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and disciple them.
Objective 2.A Love them unconditionally.
