The Opportunity Center exists for all homeless without distinction of race, ethnic origin, gender, language spoken, or, religious beliefs, and regardless of mental, drug and alcohol problems. Through direct contact with the homeless, the Center supports them to move beyond their condition if they are capable; or protects them if they cannot improve their condition in society because of emotional or psychological disorders.
La Casa de los Abuelos. We have recently broken ground on a facility that will be specifically dedicated to providing shelter and housing to older and frail male population. The needs of elderly homeless vary greatly from their younger adult counterparts with a focus on stability, comfort, and safety.
The funds will be utilized to support the La Casa de los Abuelos program. The elderly men (abuelos) are currently housed in a temporary location at 510 S. Oregon (Willie Sanchez Rosales Center). The funds will be to support the stability, comfort and safety of our seniors - with a focus on the male population.
